This human experience is at times daunting. Even welcomed life transitions can leave us feeling untethered. You may be struggling to feel comfortable in your own skin, find deeper connection in your relationships, or knowing your place in this world. I believe in the innate wisdom each individual possesses. I will accompany you into this lifelong process of returning to your sense of self. We come to know ourselves more fully through our relationships even as the discoveries may be startling or disorienting. Through these explorations you will find a deepened connection with what you ardently seek.

Throughout my 20 years of experience as a psychologist, I have helped people cope with anxiety, depression, and the stresses of life changes such as divorce, medical issues, menopause, retirement, grief, and much more. My mission is to partner with my patients to develop coping strategies, improve self-awareness, and help them enhance their relationships with others. I guide my clients through the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and Object Relations. I am here to support your healing and personal growth.

Hello, my name is Leslie and I can offer you a space to exhale. Whatever you are facing, call me if you need help sorting through life's challenges and learn ways to relax and find peace. Learn how to honor yourself while you learn about your strengths. Please know that every "worst day ever" you have had, you have also surpassed.

We naturally strive to make sense of the things that happen to us. With compassionate guidance and support, the effects of impactful events can be transformed. My approach is collaborative, warm and interactive. My mindfulness-based, psychodynamic practice provides a safe haven from which to explore and create meaning of the key events of your life so that you can arrive at a place of balance and contentment. Fully trained in EMDR, I have the skills to help you resolve traumatic events. I utilize sand tray and other creative means of expression to aid in the healing process. It can even be fun!

If you are suffering with food & body image issues, issues of self-esteem & self-worth, relationship issues or dealing with trauma, I can help you. There are so many women who feel as though they are not enough. They believe that they somehow have to be better, look different, lose weight, be a whole different person to have a good relationship and a happy life. They beat themselves up constantly and are always trying to change. Do you understand this feeling? If so, I can help you have a loving relationship with yourself and settle into who you really are.

It may be time for a fresh strategy if talk therapy has left you still battling extreme anxiety, a harsh inner critic telling you you're "not good enough," an "imposter," or you helplessly repeat the same annoying habits like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or procrastination. Unfortunately, people tend to blame themselves for feeling stuck, unaware that their biology plays a key role. I guide clients to engage their innate healing potential with evidence-based therapies. This helps free them from ingrained habits or conditions that resist change. There's hope! Let's see if I can help you too.

I’m a marriage and family therapist who specializes in individual therapy, with a focus on busy adult professionals.

Additionally, I have a unique background in pet grief and have been featured in the New York Times for my work in that space. Please email me to schedule a free phone consultation.

I am a trauma-informed therapist and use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other mindfulness-based, experiential, emotion-focused approaches that will help you cultivate self-compassion and acceptance, and process past negative experiences. My style is warm, engaging, and open. I work with traumas such as illness, loss, assaults, birth trauma, car accidents, and war. I also specialize in working with anxious attachment styles. I help individuals overcome relationship issues, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, work stress, and unresolved grief.

As a therapist, I enjoy cultivating authentic relationships with clients and learning about the communities in which you both thrive in and have endured pain in. I’m curious about how you connect with others and how your past experiences impact your relationships and the energy you carry every day. Cross-cultural differences, family systems, and past trauma can make navigating our interpersonal relationships messy and cloud our thoughts. We’ll explore your narrative and the lens through which you see yourself to better understand and rebuild your relationship with yourself and others.

Making positive changes in our lives is not always easy. It takes courage and strength to reach out for support during challenging times. In our healing journey together, connection to our emotions, our body (somatic mindfulness), our creativity and our life force brings deeper relationships with others leading to a greater connection to ourselves. If we have experienced trauma we can find new ways to self-regulate and build resilience. We can learn to love and accept all the different parts of who we are. I feel honored to accompany you on this journey while providing skillful guidance, attunement and resources along the way.

Are you feeling anxious or down? Are you unsure about the future of a relationship, or wondering why you find yourself repeating the same patterns and behaviors? Therapy is a collaborative process of self-discovery and personal growth. I focus on helping my clients through the development of greater self-understanding, self-awareness and self-acceptance. I want to support you to make the changes you desire, and to live your life to the fullest. I treat a wide range of clinical issues and invite clients of diverse identities and backgrounds into my therapy practice.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, with mindful tending to each client's psychological space, exploring answers to problems, and discovering how to respond most effectively to changes. I am person-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based in my approach, and I work with all mental health concerns in adults, especially with trauma, anxiety, work-related stress, disordered thinking, personality disorders, and depression.

I believe in meeting the client where they are, facing the issues presented with an open mind, and to always establish healthy boundaries. My approach is to help manage life's transitions together in a way that provides a nurturing & empathetic experience.

I became a therapist because I enjoy connecting with people and honoring their story. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space to provide support as we explore better ways of coping, strategies to manage stress, and improve communication. Through reflection we are able to set goals and problem solve together as we increase insight and awareness of your experience. Together we can work to find an improved life balance, satisfaction and greater sense of well-being.
