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

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.

over the years I have taken advantage of the benefit of being able to change therapist as needed. I am blessed to say that I will never have to take advantage of that benefit again. if there were such a thing as a client, therapist soulmate relationship I’d say I finally found it. Thank you, Betterhelp.!
