I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Michigan.
My professional background includes 30 years of experience in the schools as a school social worker, working with preschool through high school students, aiding them on personal and social issues. Anxiety, depression, diversity, and social skills were some of the topics covered in weekly sessions.
After retiring I have spent 5 years of volunteering in an impoverished urban community food pantry. I have been a field instructor for 3 students who were training to be social workers at the Master degree level. I have also mentored a few women and and have come along side others as they navigated through some difficult situations. I work with both men and women. I enjoy challenging people to reach their potential and assisting in eliminating barriers to their success. I am primarily a solution focused therapist, empowering clients in their own abilities in solving their life problems. In doing that together, we may also challenge some negative thinking and begin to restructure thoughts.
I like to use different modalities in therapy to tap into a person’s creativity to achieve their goals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client is extremely important. A good match between the two facilitates communication and empathy.
Reaching out and asking for help takes courage and vulnerability. Congratulations, you've taken the first step. Let’s see where we go from here. I look forward to meeting you!

Leslie is the best therapist I have ever had. I have had a lot of them too! Thanks to being matched up with her, it has drastically changed my life for the better. I never thought that I would ever successfully learn how to set boundaries or to give a person validation. Leslie’s experience is an asset to anyone who really wants to change his or her life for the better. She is also willing to work with my very busy schedule and is flexible when it comes to how we have our sessions. I can’t recommend her enough!

I’ve been working with Leslie for over 2 years now and she has helped me make a lot of progress toward my goals. She listens well, asks amazing questions, and doesn’t let me lie to myself; she know when I need a good push forward. She is a great mix of accountability and understanding.

Leslie has been a huge factor in my growth this past few months. I look forward to our sessions together. I greatly appreciate that she remembers my story and what we are focusing on so that I don't feel like a number and so our sessions are productive. She listens well and is very supportive.
