Hey y'all, I'm Leslie and I utilize my 20 years of experience and trainings at the top research and intervention programs to tailor proven methods to your needs and create success. My clients are children, teens, and young adults, who are facing challenges with school or transitions. They often experience meltdowns or may retreat into themselves, and sometimes they express their feelings by acting out. Many of my clients have been trying to navigate feelings of hopelessness and not belonging in an overstimulating, high demand world.

As a therapist and fellow “in-progress” human I believe that we are all constantly growing and changing through many seasons. Some seasons can feel like they last a lifetime, but no matter how difficult the season or how long it sticks around, I believe no one is without hope. I strive to instill that hope and confidence in you and create a space where you feel comfortable navigating tough questions, big emotions, and difficult situations.

Every day I have the privilege of working with the bravest folks on the planet & none of you know it when you first walk in the door. You often feel defeated, overwhelmed & ashamed that you aren't able to "get over" your sexual, physical or emotional trauma. It's also common for you to have a nagging, chronic sense that something is just not right, an unhappiness; feeling unloved or unlovable, disconnected from friends and family, having lost a sense of purpose or direction. Without knowing that these symptoms may be telling us that a past trauma--long ago

Each individual experiences difficulties in their lifetime; however, everyone responds to their challenges depending upon their own sense of self, as well as, the basic units of support in which the individual does or does not have in their life. As someone who practices what I preach, I can say therapy works! - but only if you are able to accept the mindset that we grow together, not apart. I find mental health to be just as, if not more important as physical health. Having support in our lives is ultimately what keeps us stable and connected. While it will not erase difficulties we face, therapy can be used as a significant tool

Having benefited from therapy myself, I understand the challenges that come when "life happens". As an LMFTA, I enjoy working with individuals, children, teens, couples, and families who are seeking healing from past hurt, or breaking the cycle of unhelpful patterns. I offer treatment for a variety of issues including but not limited to depression, anxiety, relational conflict, marital counseling, ADHD, OCD, grief, and trauma.
