I am a licensed marriage and family therapist licensed in Florida with 12 years of experience. I have worked with clients experiencing many different life issues that range from post traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, depression, career workplace issues and a myriad of other challenges. I have also helped many people from marginalized communities who are experiencing discrimination and equity issues.
My counseling style is warm, optimistic, and with a sense of humor. I believe that our challenges in life don't have to define our present or future. I am a stickler for treating others with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused counseling. I will tailor the counseling experience to meet your unique and specific needs.
Lastly, I appreciate the courage that it took for you to seek counseling. I am here to work collaboratively and dynamically with you.

Leslie is just what I needed in a therapist. She is kind and compassionate. Leslie also looks at the bigger picture recommending I seek a diagnosis for neurodivergence. I highly recommend her for counseling needs.

Leslie has been very supportive and understanding of my needs and what I wanted to get out of therapy. She is not only kind and nurturing but gave me great tools for self-improvement and how to overcome the issues I was facing. I would definitely recommend her and Pride Counseling.

Being paired with the perfect therapist like Leslie was godsent. I was worried about trying therapy after some not so great experiences, but Leslie heard me and tried to understand me right from the first meeting. I never feel judged or ridiculed, Leslie does a wonderful job at creating a safe space to talk, to be challenged, to do better! I love her and feel like she really has helped me in sooo many ways, my appreciation for her cannot be expressed enough!

Leslie is amazing! It feels like I'm talking to an aunt. She's so comforting and warm, but keeps me honest. She doesn't judge and always reminds me that nothing is wrong with me. She always has different ways to help and keep me grounded. She's the best!

Leslie is a listener! She has a unique way of taking in what I say and saying it back to me in a way that guides me towards an answer on my own. This is my second time with Better Help. The first therapist I got was ok but I lucked out with Leslie!

Leslie is easy to talk to and always took the time to listen to things that I said to her. I felt heard in our sessions and she would often seek out worksheets, activities or online tests to work together on in our sessions to help me progress towards my goals. She always approached therapy with compassion, respect and has a very caring nature.
