About me

I am a professional counselor licensed in Tennessee with over 20 years of experience working in the field of counseling and psychotherapy. I have a passion for people in general and have worked with children, youth, adolescents, young adults, and families throughout my counseling career. My experience includes and is not entirely limited to complex trauma and brain development, attachment, substance use/addiction, adoption and foster care, and juvenile justice. I work from a trauma informed lens and strengths-based approach. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship paired with a motivated client have the potential for limitless growth and healing.
My counseling style is one of warmth and respect. I have a strong desire to help others with compassion and sensitivity. My sessions are tailored to the individual needs of each client and I may use any of the following approaches/interventions :cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, grounding, experiential activities and interactive activities.

I know how hard it can be to ask for help, and by doing so you are taking the first step towards positive change and happiness.

I look forward to the privilege of working with you!

Leslie is great, I simply cannot afford the therapy. If money wasn’t an issue I would continue my therapy.
