About me

As a licensed therapist with nearly three decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My approach is compassionate and holistic, drawing from extensive expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship dynamics.

I offer a supportive therapeutic environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. My practice focuses on helping individuals navigate diverse challenges, including family conflicts, social anxiety, grief, addiction recovery, and life stage transitions.

My therapeutic style integrates evidence-based practices with a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique journey. Whether you're struggling with mood disorders, relationship issues, or seeking personal transformation, I provide a non-judgmental space that honors your individual experiences and strengths.

I'm dedicated to walking alongside my clients, offering guidance and support as they work towards healing, self-understanding, and emotional resilience. My goal is to empower you to create positive change and develop healthier, more fulfilling ways of engaging with yourself and others.

I was unsure about doing therapy and doing it on line. Leslie has listened to me and taken what I say and connected it to what I am experiencing. It has been a very eye opening experience. I am so glad I finally did this!

If could give Leslie more than 10, I would do so. She is the very best - caring, compassionate, offers wonderful advice. Leslie got me through some bumpy times the last 2 months. I felt like I was talking to a good friend. Would highly recommend!!
