About me

As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients explore life purpose, manage social anxiety, and work through deep-seated feelings of guilt and shame.

I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges. My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can develop meaningful insights and build resilience.

My work is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I believe in empowering clients to recognize their inherent strengths and develop practical strategies for emotional healing and personal growth. Whether you're experiencing persistent emotional challenges or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

Through evidence-based practices and a person-centered approach, I aim to help you cultivate greater self-compassion, emotional clarity, and a sense of purpose. Together, we can explore your experiences, transform limiting beliefs, and create pathways toward more fulfilling life experiences.

Such an amazing listener. Always very patient and tries to understand the whole situation before giving any feedback. I am glad to have her as my therapist.

First impressions are a lasting impression and she made clear she was there for me and what I need to do to better for my relationship

Leslie is professional, personable and genuinely empathetic. She meets you where you're at and incorporates your needs and goals into your sessions. I asked her to give me homework assignments to keep me focused on my goals and behavioral changes that I'm actively working on between sessions and she is doing exactly what I asked. She has helped me talk through difficulties in setting boundaries and offered simple, practical things to say or try when in a situation when I find it difficult to set or keep boundaries. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone who wants to genuinely make changes to improve their mental health and emotional well-being.
