I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Alaska and Illinois and also a nationally registered board certified art therapist (ATR-BC). I have up to five years of experience in behavioral health with specific focus in hospice and grief counseling, neurological disorders (dementia, stroke, and traumatic brain injury), anxiety, depression, and other mood and emotional related challenges. I have worked in after school art programs for at risk youth and inpatient hospital programs for many age groups, including children, preteens, adolescents and geriatrics. I hope to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and personal experiences. I incorporate a person-centered and narrative approach to my work as a therapist and I can also include active art-making, journaling, the creative process, and imagination.
I look forward to working with you!

Amazingly intuitive she has a knack of getting right to the heart of the matter of what I'm saying and is a great empathetic listener. I feel when she listens she listens with her heart, not just an analytical mind. I felt do secure in her care. Thank you Leslie

Leslie is a wonderful therapist and helped me figure out different ways to be strong and to do what is right for myself. She has helped me view things/myself from different perspectives and it has really helped in my personal growth and healing. Shes never judgmental and really does listen to what you tell her.

Leslie does a great job pushing me in a manner that I respond to. I feel comfortable communicating openly with her, and she always pushes me to expand on answers and responses that I normally would not.

Leslie was like an angel sent from heaven. She was able to help me see things in a different perspective, kinda like a fresh start in life and also within. I would very much recommend her to anyone that needs help, she is a great listener, asks the perfect questions, and kinda lets YOU figure out what the next step is. This was such a great experience. Thank you again Leslie <3
