I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for 20 years and I have extensive training in many populations, diversity, chronically mentally ill, and substance use disorders. My primary focus is here and now and identifying ways to incorporate new ideas and change in our lives. I use primarily cognitive and behavioral techniques with a focus on new neurological information as it relates to mental health. . Insight and reflection often needs to be mindful and in the present, allowing for our ability to identify appropriate needs and wants. The most important tool we have is an objective sense of self as well as an identity fitting with our culture and social needs.
I work with the LGBTQ+ population have worked with gender and sexual orientation issues.

Leslie has helped me learn how my brain works and reminds me to be more gentle with myself:) She’s also just cool to talk to and makes me laugh

Leslie nailed it on the head when she pointed out that "I had been asked" to "run for the HOA Board"--and had not actually thought of it myself.
When I have been in therapy before-the advice was "Got out and volunteer" which didn't really seem to help me. Often it got me off course and just added to my issues.

Leslie was a great fit for my particular issues and learning style. In just a few sessions, I had new tools and tips to use. I will continue to see her for refresher sessions.

I have really appreciated every session with Leslie. She always listens carefully, and responds insightfully in a way that is incredibly helpful. She often shares very helpful articles/written resources relevant to what we discussed in the session prior. I haven't appreciated therapy the way I appreciate working with Leslie in a while!

Leslie is refreshingly straightforward, educated, and compassionate. She gives me actionable tools and takes the time to explain the supporting data when it's helpful. I would recommend her to anybody especially who struggles with trusting authority or feels uneasy with platitudes.

Leslie is an amazing therapist. She listens well and offered many resources through tough situations with family. I came to her for clarity as I work through anxiety from a big move, and grief hanging around from deaths in my family and divorce. Basically I was a mess with all the problems when we began I work. I felt like a cluttered book shelf and after a few months I feel put back together and able to take a holiday break from therapy. All while knowing I can come back anytime.

I’ve only been with Leslie for two weeks now but I have felt more empowered, listened to, and excited to work on my mental health than I ever have before. Leslie truly listens to my concerns and struggles and gives me not only her profession advice but also articles and books that are researched based. Every time we end a live session there are IMMEDIATELY articles, recommendations and helpful resources sitting in my inbox from her. I have used MANY therapists in my lifetime and I have never enjoyed and looked forward to meeting with any of them, this experience has truly changed my mind not only on therapy but how well it works. I would 100% recommend Leslie to anyone I know seeking a therapist!

I've seen many therapists in different seasons of my life, but Leslie is the first one to really get to the root of all my issues and concerns. I'm now looking at myself from a completely different lens than I would have ever considered in the past. I'm quite impressed.

Leslie is a fabulous therapist and her years of experience and knowledge are apparent in her ability to identify and thoughtfully work through complex issues that surface in our sessions together.

She’s a great listener and really good at breaking down information, helps me understand the issue more. I’d prefer to keep paying for this service instead of going through my health insurance options. So much better!

Leslie has been nothing but easy to talk to. I went in with very little understanding on why I have been unable to dig myself out of this pit for so many years. After our first meeting, she had given me plenty of insight that has been a tremendous help. She has been an asset to shifting my thought-process into healthier version. I 100% look forward to continue working with her.
