Meet Leslie

Using a patient-centered approach we will work together to bridge the gap between where you are in your life's adventure and where you want to be. My role is to facilitate discussion and prompt new ways of thinking in order to inspire fresh perspectives. My style tends to be person-centered and solution-focused as I believe in focusing more heavily on the problems you're experiencing right now and working together to develop effective strategies for improving overall life satisfaction. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients identify problematic thinking and retrain the brain to implement more positive and productive strategies

We will work together to bridge the gap between where you are in your life's adventure and where you want to be.
