Great to meet you!

Hello & welcome! My name is Leslie and I'm a clinical social worker who is passionate about teaching clients to slow down, prioritize your own experience, restore connection between mind & body, and embrace paradox. The perspectives and practices anchored in these values will enable you to ground anxiety, get unstuck from harmful patterns, cultivate more authentic relationships, and ultimately, create a life of greater purpose and fulfillment.

Please note that I am in-network with Headway's insurance partners for individual therapy only. Relationship therapy is available as a private pay service.

My approach to therapy

My approach integrates Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy with Buddhist influences, and Gestalt, an embodied and experiential process of making "good contact." I love helping clients understand their needs and learn to provide for them generously through mindful awareness, clear communication, and unconditional self-support.

What you can expect from me

Embarking on a journey of healing is a decision that requires courage, commitment, and effective support. You deserve a guide who makes you feel seen, heard, and fully accepted, both for who you are now and for who you are becoming. Ready to step off the beaten path and into your authenticity? Reach out for a free, 15-minute consultation.
