Hi there, my name is Lesli and have been a practicing therapist for over 20 years. I believe that above all, the therapist and client relationship is the key to success. It's important that I provide a comforting space for my clients to feel accepted and understood while expressing themselves. I am warm, open, caring, creative and down to earth. Therapy may not always be so serious. I will use humor when appropriate and gently challenge you in order to promote growth and achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

I use several approaches, including CBT, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
Starting therapy can feel like an overwhelming step, and it's completely okay to be unsure of what to expect. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring whatever you're going through. I understand that finding the right therapist is essential, and it is important to feel connected to someone who understands and supports your journey. In our sessions, you can expect a thoughtful, interactive experience. I'm empathetic, approachable, and direct, and I believe in building a partnership where we can openly talk about what's on your mind.

One of the most important factors in the success of therapy is the creation of a safe, confidential space. In this setting an individual can express all the thoughts, feelings and beliefs which they often feel unable to share, for fear of judgement or disappointing others. Clients often relate a great sense of relief when they verbalize these difficult or confusing thoughts and find that they are supported and validated. Once these inner voices are freely and safely expressed a client can more effectively identify patterns of beliefs which limit or alter and often hinder their efforts to feel whole and at peace.

Anxiety and OCD symptoms can have a negative impact on your overall functioning, including sleep, appetite, productivity, health, relationships and mood.

Our team of neuropsychologists, therapists, and clinicians coordinates around each patient, so the people answering your questions already know your story. We move you from uncertainty to a clear picture and practical next steps, with evaluations and care delivered in one connected practice.
