About Leslie
I’m a therapist with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals, couples and families through a wide range of life challenges. I work with clients across the lifespan and bring a deep commitment to meeting people where they are—honoring their values, beliefs, and unique perspectives.
My areas of focus include mood disorders, anxiety, stress, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, learning disabilities, educational planning, and ADHD. I also specialize in supporting individuals navigating relationship concerns, communication difficulties, isolation, social anxiety, panic disorder, and grief. I have particular expertise in women’s issues, caregiver stress, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, self-harm, and chronic pain or illness.
I’m experienced in helping clients explore life purpose, forgiveness, abandonment wounds, and commitment challenges. I also work with families navigating blended family dynamics and individuals facing domestic violence, seasonal affective disorder, and multicultural concerns.
My approach is person-centered and culturally responsive. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely heard and respected. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.
I’m honored to work with clients of all backgrounds and belief systems. Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I’m grateful to be part of your healing journey.
