Hi, I’m Leslie

With 15 years of experience across home, clinic, school, and telehealth settings, I’m passionate about supporting neurodivergent adults in embracing their strengths and living authentically.

I create a warm, curious, and compassionate space where you can grow, explore, and thrive as your true self.

Neuro-Affirming Care

I believe your brain is one-of-a-kind, and so is your path. Through neuro-affirming therapy, I help you lean into your strengths, embrace your quirks, and thrive without trying to fit anyone else’s mold.

Acceptance & Commitment

I believe growth comes from embracing where you are, while moving toward where you want to be. Through Acceptance & Commitment Therapy approaches, I help you notice your thoughts and feelings without judgment, clarify your values, and take steps that align with the life you want to live.

Trauma-Informed

I know past experiences can leave their mark, and healing takes time. Trauma-informed therapy focuses on safety, understanding, and supporting you as you move forward at your own pace.
