Hi! I'm Leslie (she/her) and I'm glad you're checking out my corner of Psychology Today. It's my honor and privilege to witness people's healing in my therapy room (or virtual space). I specialize in the treatment of trauma and perinatal mental health, and my ideal clients are those who are brave enough to feel their deeply hurting parts, and who need help, guidance, or sometimes just a witness in finding their resilience. Maybe you're doing this for the first time ever, or for the 100th time. We've got this.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) and an EMDR Certified clinician. I have extensive training and experience in treating folks with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, as well as those with trauma. I also work closely with folks managing mood disorders and general anxiety.
I am someone who values authenticity and humor in a therapeutic relationship. I'm a curious person and will always look to you, the client, to help build our goals of treatment. Please reach out for a consult and let's see if we can be a good fit.
