"You can understand yourself completely and still feel stuck. Your nervous system doesn't update through explanation. It updates through experience. Through repetition. Through safety that is felt, not just understood."

Who Writes These Letters

Hi, I'm Leanne.

I'm a Registered Psychotherapist based in Kitchener, Ontario with over 12 years of clinical experience. I work with high-functioning adults and couples who look like they have it all together but feel like they're barely holding on.

In therapy, we often focus on the "why." But in my weekly letters, I focus on the "how." How we actually live with our sensitive nervous systems. How we navigate grief without getting lost. How we can be gentle with ourselves in a world that demands hardness.

I know this territory personally. I was the overachiever, the over-helper, the one who had it handled. I understand what it's like to appear put together while something quietly unravels inside.

These letters are my way of bringing the insights from the therapy room into your everyday life. No jargon. No performance. Just honest words about what it actually takes to feel at home in yourself.
