Meet Lea

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
  • Offering somatic, body-based, trauma-focused psychotherapy for adults who feel stuck after talk therapy hasn’t helped.

  • Living with anxiety and chronic stress in the body, and gently restoring safety and regulation.

  • The difference between short-term stress and long-standing nervous-system overload.

  • Healing trauma through gentle approaches like the Flash Technique, without retelling painful experiences.

  • Using clinical hypnotherapy to support deep relaxation, nervous-system regulation, trauma processing, fertility journeys, and grief.

  • The nervous-system toll of burnout and frontline work, including teaching and caregiving roles.

  • Infertility, surrogacy, involuntary childlessness, immigration, and chronic illness. Supporting the layered grief and uncertainty these experiences carry.

My cultural or ancestral background is…
  • Born in Bosnia, with roots in the Spanish Sephardic Jewish community

  • Raised in Canada, where I’ve grown up feeling proud to be Canadian, Jewish, and Eastern European

My clients describe me using words like…
  • Easy to talk to

  • Caring

Booking FAQ

Does Lea offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Lea is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
