About me
“Anybody can become angry, that is easy;
but to be angry with the right person,
and to the right degree,
and at the right time,
and for the right purpose,
and in the right way,
that is not within everybody’s power;
that is not easy.”
Aristotle

I had a wonderful experience with my therapist. They created a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where I always felt heard and respected. Their professionalism, compassion, and thoughtful guidance made a meaningful difference in my growth and well-being. I truly appreciated their ability to listen without judgment while offering practical tools and encouragement. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated therapist.

I appreciate Leslie’s support and suggestions. I am completely comfortable
With confiding in her, and I look forward to our sessions. She helps me “think through” my thoughts, so to speak

She is the best. Kind, caring, and professional. Provides tools, a listening ear, and always keeps up with/stays on top of everything you say, no matter how much you may vent or how much you may digress from a topic; she is always listening and paying attention. She keeps the focus on the patient and their goals. Your time is never wasted in a session with Leslie. Truly professional and ethical therapist.

Leslie is the best, hands down. She is insanely intuitive and loves helping others. She is soft and kind, but her therapy is sound and firm in a way that brings me a lot of confidence. I’m grateful that I connected with her and I genuinely look forward to our sessions.
