About Leslie

Welcome!

If you’re looking for help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, or depression. I offer non-judgmental support to help you face your challenges and move forward in your life.

As a seasoned therapist with over thirty years of clinical experience, I will help you better understand yourself and give you tools to help you achieve your goals.

My style is personable and interactive so that you will feel both supported and, at times, challenged.

I offer weekday phone sessions between 11 am and 4 pm, which you can schedule through the website calendar or by contacting me.

I offer messaging between sessions also. I will always respond to you within 24 hours of contact, often sooner.
While I do check messages on evenings and weekends, I do not, at this time, offer evening or weekend sessions.

Thanks again for visiting my site. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you feel better and live more productively.

Thanks,

Les
