More about Leslie
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I offer an eclectic approach to therapy, meeting every unique client where they are. This means that we can work together in a more soluction-focused way, taking a closer look at your concerns in the here and now or taking a deeper dive at how your concerns are informed by your personal history and family of origin. Either way, we will explore together the gaps between where you are today and where you would like to be, so that you can live a more authentic and satisfying life. I work with individuals, couples and families with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions and all types of relationship issues.
