If we allow them to, anxiety, stress, and uncomfortable feelings can run our lives. My passion lies in helping you to find freedom and movement from these uncomfortable feelings rather than stagnation and suffering. Together, we will explore how you respond to uncomfortable feelings and find healthier, more productive and more genuine ways of responding that fit with your values in all areas of your life.

I enjoy working with people who want change, but don't know where to start. I specialize in helping people who grew up in difficult family situations and now struggle with relationships and/or depression and anxiety. We can call it trauma, complex trauma, borderline personality disorder or just being a person in this world. I work with people by thinking about relationships and attachment, and I also use evidence based practices including EMDR for trauma, DBT for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and CBT for help understanding the inner workings of our minds and making changes to how we go through life.

New couples are often reluctant to seek help. Be it stigma surrounding couple's therapy, or feeling like they have not been together "long enough," couples usually wait until resentment and unhappiness have grown to distressing levels before reaching out for help. According to relationship researcher Dr. John Gottman, couples often endure an average of six years of unhappiness before seeking help. Why let years of resentment build up when you can spend that time strengthening your bond and finding new ways to overcome and adapt to life's inevitable conflicts?

My name is Leslie. Raneri. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years. As Brene Brown says, “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light. “

Often in life we can feel overwhelmed and in the overwhelm we can turn to unhealthy coping strategies to feel safe. What was supposed to just be a one time way to cope quickly turns into a daily practice that now feels paralyzing and you aren't sure how to stop. A lot of the clients I work with struggle to break these unhealthy patterns of coping and implement more adaptive ways to manage their struggles. I come alongside each of my clients to help them unpack the overwhelm and get to a place where they can access healthier ways to cope.
