About

Sometimes we feel like our life has gotten out of control. We feel stuck, and no matter what we try, we can’t seem to change or get back on track. We get caught in web of negative thinking. We can find ourselves having the same fights over and over in our relationships. We may feel disconnected and an overall dissatisfaction with our lives. Sometimes we know what is bothering us, but often it can elude us. We can’t quite put our finger on it or understand it. It can seem harder and harder to get through each day. We can feel overwhelmed and exhausted, and can wonder if life is suppose to be this difficult. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples. I specialize in working with people who have become stuck in negative patterns in their thinking, behavior, relationships, and in their career/academic/sports performance. I help provide a place where you can find change, solutions, and tools that lead to a better life. Lesley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
