Meet Leanne
For almost 20 years, I've helped people navigate relationships, life transitions, sexuality, anxiety, and personal growth through thoughtful, evidence-based psychotherapy that honours both mind and body.

Ways we can work together

A reflective space for therapists, social workers and students to deepen their clinical thinking, ethics, and confidence in practice.
Yoga-Informed Wellness
Therapy
Psychotherapy for individuals and couples focused on relationships, identity, sexuality, and meaningful change through thoughtful, evidence-based conversation.Movement, mindfulness, and embodied practice that help you reconnect with your body and support meaningful change beyond where language can go. How I work
Therapy with me is conversational, reflective, and grounded in both psychological and embodied understanding. I’ve been doing this for a long time, you won’t see me taking notes on a clipboard or hiding behind therapy jargon or so-called expertise. I’m interested in crafting something real and authentic with you. We’ll explore the patterns that shape your relationships, your sense of self, and the way you move through the world. Together, we slow things down enough to notice what’s happening beneath the surface, not just what’s immediately visible. From that place of awareness, meaningful and lasting change becomes possible.
Beyond individual and couples therapy, my work also includes clinical supervision, embodied workshops and retreats, and yoga classes offered from a therapeutic mindset. Across all of these settings, the focus remains the same: creating space for reflection, presence, and meaningful change through both insight and embodied experience.
At Heart Work,
care work is a site of real transformation.
Love, science and story belong in the same room, and my “expertise” will never override your humanity.
