I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for 20 years and I have extensive training in many populations, diversity, chronically mentally ill, and substance use disorders. My primary focus is here and now and identifying ways to incorporate new ideas and change in our lives. I use primarily cognitive and behavioral techniques with a focus on new neurological information as it relates to mental health. I am familiar with Meta Cognition and the approach that we have mindsets we can change, not spending hours on personality issues or going back to past history. Insight and reflection often needs to be mindful and in the present, allowing for our ability to identify appropriate needs and wants. The most important tool we have is an objective sense of self as well as an identity fitting with our culture and social needs.
I am a professional member of the AAPI Psychological Association and the National Latinx Psychology Association.
Additional areas of focus:Addictions, Relationship issues, Grief, Anger management, Self esteem, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, ADHD, Aging and Geriatric Issues, Antisocial Personality, Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Caregiver Issues and Stress, Co-morbidity, Communication Problems, Dissociation, Drug and Alcohol Addiction, Gender Dysphoria, Guilt and Shame, HIV / AIDS, Hospice and End of Life Counseling, Impulsivity, Isolation / Loneliness, Midlife Crisis, Mood Disorders, Multicultural Concerns, Obsessions, Compulsions, and OCD, Panic Disorder and Panic Attacks, Paranoia, Personality Disorders, Phobias, Polyamory / Nonmonogamous Relationships, Post-traumatic Stress, Self-Harm, Sexual Assault and Abuse, Sexual Dysfunction, Sexuality, Social Anxiety and Phobia, Traumatic Brain Injury, Women's Issues

Leslie was a great fit for my particular issues and learning style. In just a few sessions, I had new tools and tips to use. I will continue to see her for refresher sessions.

I have really appreciated every session with Leslie. She always listens carefully, and responds insightfully in a way that is incredibly helpful. She often shares very helpful articles/written resources relevant to what we discussed in the session prior. I haven't appreciated therapy the way I appreciate working with Leslie in a while!

Leslie is refreshingly straightforward, educated, and compassionate. She gives me actionable tools and takes the time to explain the supporting data when it's helpful. I would recommend her to anybody especially who struggles with trusting authority or feels uneasy with platitudes.

Leslie is an amazing therapist. She listens well and offered many resources through tough situations with family. I came to her for clarity as I work through anxiety from a big move, and grief hanging around from deaths in my family and divorce. Basically I was a mess with all the problems when we began I work. I felt like a cluttered book shelf and after a few months I feel put back together and able to take a holiday break from therapy. All while knowing I can come back anytime.

Leslie has done a great job of listening and providing a clear perspective on a situation that is very difficult and confusing for me.
Written on Sep 13, 2022 after therapy with Leslie for 1 month on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, and coping with life changes
I’ve only been with Leslie for two weeks now but I have felt more empowered, listened to, and excited to work on my mental health than I ever have before. Leslie truly listens to my concerns and struggles and gives me not only her profession advice but also articles and books that are researched based. Every time we end a live session there are IMMEDIATELY articles, recommendations and helpful resources sitting in my inbox from her. I have used MANY therapists in my lifetime and I have never enjoyed and looked forward to meeting with any of them, this experience has truly changed my mind not only on therapy but how well it works. I would 100% recommend Leslie to anyone I know seeking a therapist!

I've seen many therapists in different seasons of my life, but Leslie is the first one to really get to the root of all my issues and concerns. I'm now looking at myself from a completely different lens than I would have ever considered in the past. I'm quite impressed.

Leslie is a fabulous therapist and her years of experience and knowledge are apparent in her ability to identify and thoughtfully work through complex issues that surface in our sessions together.

She’s a great listener and really good at breaking down information, helps me understand the issue more. I’d prefer to keep paying for this service instead of going through my health insurance options. So much better!

Leslie has been nothing but easy to talk to. I went in with very little understanding on why I have been unable to dig myself out of this pit for so many years. After our first meeting, she had given me plenty of insight that has been a tremendous help. She has been an asset to shifting my thought-process into healthier version. I 100% look forward to continue working with her.
