Leslie approaches each client with curiosity and the deep desire to understand their experience, history, strengths, joys, and challenges. She works within the Narrative Therapeutic approach, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support resilience, identity development, and values-based living. Leslie places great emphasis on the positive transformation of painful experiences and collaborates with clients to process and navigate life transitions, taking practical steps toward building a life that feels meaningful and aligned with future goals.
A mom to three teenagers and four dogs, she is an avid writer, yard-worker, drummer, artist, and amateur woodworker, and is quite happy having a cup of coffee with a friend. Her children think she is aging rapidly because of her newfound enjoyment of bird-watching and love of old Ford trucks, but really, Leslie is just fulfilling some lifelong dreams of contentment.
