It’s a true honour for me to meet you exactly where you are—in the midst of stress, sadness, uncertainty, transition, or whatever you may be carrying. You can trust that I will listen with care, respect your story, and meet you with kindness, dignity, and compassion. I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space for you to reflect, process, grow, and heal. I’m so glad you’re here.

We shake with joy, we shake with grief. What a time they have, these two housed in the same body ~ Mary Oliver
meet Leah
Hello! I'm Leah, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master's in Counselling and a background in Occupational Therapy. I am also a wife, a mom, a cancer survivor, and a part of the community of adoptive families.
I have been married for 20 years and have 3 children (age 9, 11, 17). My passion is to create a safe space for clients to share about their struggles, anxieties, strengths, challenges and fears, especially those related to life transitions experienced mid-life and beyond.
Life holds both beauty and hardship—often side by side. None of us are spared from the challenges that come with being human.
For more than 20 years, in various capacities, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate change, loss, and challenge. It would be an honour to do the same with you.
~ Leah
Where we meet
My office is conveniently located in central Kelowna at #360 - 1855 Kirschner Rd. (Stewart Centre South)
I offer in-person sessions through the week, including evenings and weekends, both in-person and virtual.
If you are happier out in nature I offer walk-and-talk counselling sessions.
My approach
As a therapist, my approach is deeply relational and guided by a person-centered philosophy. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most powerful tools for healing and growth. I adapt my methods to align with your individual needs, perspective, and life experiences, and I approach our work with warmth, respect, and curiosity. I draw from a range of evidence-based practices—including Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—to support a process that is collaborative, meaningful, and uniquely yours.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. ~ Carl Rogers”
What People Are Saying
-
“Leah helped me understand my patterns with kindness, rebuild trust in myself and hold space for my grief while still finding moments of light and self-connection. She takes the time to truly understand me, offering reflection and insight while gently guiding me toward habits that help me care for myself moving forward. We’re also able to laugh together, which makes even the hardest conversations feel more human, while grounded in her insight, knowledge and training. ”

“I was very nervous to start counselling, but Leah provided such a safe and comfortable space for me that it made opening up and being vulnerable for the first time feel easy. I looked forward to every session we had and I will forever be thankful for her. She gave me great tools to work with and has truly helped change my mental health and my outlook on life for the better.”
- Client
-
“I started working with Leah during a very challenging time in my life, and having her in my corner made me feel safe while I was going through so much. That alone was healing in so many ways. Over time, our work genuinely changed my life — from moving through grief to learning how to regulate my nervous system so I don’t get stuck in freeze the way I used to. I have more self-compassion and less shame, and it’s impacted everything — my relationships and my business included. Life feels lighter, and I feel more capable of handling whatever comes my way.”
