Leah was born in Eckville, Alberta, on Treaty 6 Territory - the ancestral homeland of the Cree, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, and Métis people. Leah is a proud Métis woman and member of the Métis Nations of Alberta. She is dedicated to fostering relationships with those who walk alongside Indigenous people on the journey toward truth and reconciliation.

Leah spent the first ten years of her career supporting survivors of intimate partner violence, abusive relationships, and trauma. During the following seven years, Leah practiced medical social work, with a focus on emergency, maternity, and oncology care. With her diverse array of experiences, Leah has helped countless people navigate the court system, child protection system, RCMP, and other governmental and non-profit organizations. In 2015, Leah received the prestigious Front-Line Service Provider Award in Red Deer, Alberta.

In her practice, Leah focuses on supporting those navigating trauma, family violence, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, panic, anger, ADHD, low self-esteem, divorce and separation, and co-parenting challenges. Leah has a special interest in supporting those navigating brief and chronic illness and medical trauma.

Leah’s preferred modalities include EMDR, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and emotionally focused couples therapy, with a focus on strengths-based and holistic healing approaches.

Leah believes in meeting people where they are, creating a warm, non-judgmental space to explore their stories, building resilience, foster healthier relationships, reconnect with themselves, and move toward meaningful change. She offers in-person and virtual therapy to adults, couples, and families throughout Fort McMurray and the greater Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.
