LMSW

Hello! I’m Leslie, a licensed Master’s level Social Worker. When working with me, my priority is creating a nonjudgmental environment where trust is developed, and you feel safe—every single session and interaction. Therapy is a collaborative process where you’re the driver and I’m a passenger, assisting and cheering you on to help you get to your destination with evidence based tools and support.  I’m here to listen, support you, and give you opportunities to explore and design a plan that helps you move your life forward.

I have worked in a community-based setting for the past seven years leaving me with a wealth of knowledge on community resources. During my time there I worked as a direct care staff, case manager, and therapist. I love working with clients of all ages but primarily with young adults! When you’re working with me, we’ll use a strengths-based, collaborative approach to help identify your unmet needs and areas of growth. I am trauma-informed and trauma-responsive. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, I-CBT, and Brainspotting as my primary modalities. I specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, OCD,  PTSD, and self-esteem.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, friends or reading a thriller. You might catch me out on the trails as I enjoy riding my bike or going for walks. Can’t wait to meet!
