More about Leana:
Leana is deeply passionate about supporting others and brings a spirit of curiosity and lifelong learning to her work. She holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, an Honours Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Carleton University, and a Graduate Certificate in Human Resources Management from Algonquin College.
Leana approaches therapy through an attachment-based, compassionate, and humanistic lens. She works collaboratively with clients to explore how past and present experiences shape current patterns, using these insights to support emotional healing, personal growth, and relational well-being. She also incorporates somatic-based practices to help clients build resilience and strengthen their capacity for regulation.
Her priority is to create a warm, safe, and supportive space where clients feel seen and heard. Leana believes that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful transformation—one that encourages self-compassion, authenticity, and deeper self-awareness.
Outside the therapy room, Leana enjoys walking her dog, dancing, and spending time at the gym.
