As a mother of 5 children with a Master's degree in Child & Adolescent Developmental Psychology and a Ph.D. in Metaphysics & Transpersonal Counseling, my approach is very holistic. My eclectic approach utilizes the hands-on experience of having had a child with autism (who is now 23 and autistic free!). Behavior is a language - what is it "saying?" is my approach. With this approach, we can help the child and family to heal and deal with the issues differently. My intention is to provide a safe space for healing to begin.

Most personal struggles and relationship issues result from problems with the relationship with the self, rooted in relational injury experienced earlier in life. Therapy involves a dual process of understanding and healing the wounds we have experienced; and healing the relationship with the self. Identifying where we are off in our relationship with ourselves helps us to improve self-esteem; have healthy, fulfilling relationships; and take charge of the areas of our lives that feel unmanageable.

Hi, my name is Leslie. 15 years ago my husband was killed in a car accident while I was pregnant with our child. I was broken and did not know if I would ever feel happiness again. With the help of therapy I learned the tools I needed to heal, feel happiness again and even thrive. Today I want to help teach you these tools. Trauma and grief can be overwhelming and debilitating. I am a trauma specialist and I can help you make the stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD from a trauma experience greatly reduced. You are not alone.
