Virtual, Phone, and In Person sessions available (in person in Niagara Falls). Sometimes things can feel overwhelming. We can lose focus, motivation, or feel lost. That is okay, and absolutely normal. Having a supportive and safe space to express yourself, without fear of judgement can be beneficial. Identifying your goals, barriers, and your priorities can help organize your thoughts and start the path to healing. It can be tough to look forward when you are feeling stuck in one spot. Recognizing and reminding you of your strengths can be empowering. It can be hard to ask for help, so congratulations on taking the first step.

I work with clients who are looking to heal and understand themselves more deeply. I help guide clients down their own intuitive path of emotional healing.

Life can not only feel overwhelming at times, but also as though no one understands your experience. Sharing in moments of trust and acknowledgement are what you can expect in session. Leigh-Anne has over 20 years experience supporting parents, children and caregivers with connecting their experiences to their emotional response. Finding connection and validation are at the forefront of beginning to change and grow and this will lead our sessions as we unpack your experiences and process through the use of therapeutic strategies that are comfortable for you.

As a therapist I strive to create an environment in which people are supported and empowered to create their own pathways forward. I believe that engaging in therapy can be one of the most rewarding and beneficial self-care practices. I work with clients to assess their negative and often distorted beliefs and unhelpful behaviour which can keep them feeling down and stuck. I firmly believe that every human being has the capacity to fulfill his or her own potential, in order to lead happier and healthier lives. I offer clients genuine empathy and unconditional positive regard in order to facilitate change.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion
