Leslie is a responsive, caring, and thoughtful therapist that always provides a new way to look at a situation. She has helped me realize blind spots and triggers in my mood management and has given me new ways to handle challenging situations. I highly recommend her.

I was very apprehensive to start therapy, but it has been a positive experience so far. Leslie asks difficult questions at times, but she is very respectful and encouraging. She has also provided helpful resources to use between our sessions.
