I adore Leslie! I was nervous about trying therapy and my concerns disappeared within minutes of meeting Leslie. She does an amazing job building a safe space, listens, asks great questions, and is such a helpful guide. Her resources are also extremely helpful and a great fit for the topics we discuss and tackle. Her insights and expertise have made a tremendous impact and it's only been a few weeks!

Leslie is kind, caring, and supportive. She really hears me and listens. She identifies what my triggers are and how to cope. She gives informational sheets on specific issues you may be dealing with such as grief and self care to assist you when you need it. She is also flexible with scheduling appointments when you literally are in a life changing crisis. I appreciate Leslie and I would not want any other therapist during this time.
