About

Welcome, My name is Leslie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Arizona. I have been working in the mental health field since 2012 and I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including grief and loss, trauma, attachment and abandonment, depression and anxiety, parenting problems, childhood trauma, and emotional and physical abuse. My counseling approach includes a combination of solution focused, person centered, Cognitive Behavioral therapy as well as trauma therapy. I believe in helping people identify and build on their strengths to help in areas where someone may be struggling. I am also trained in EMDR which is very helpful with PTSD.

I have a passion for helping people because 14 years ago counseling saved my own life. in 2006, My husband was killed in a car accident when I was still seven months pregnant with my now very active teenager. I was a young widow, I was lost and I was scared. I attended a grief camp that first year that changed everything. I learned I was not alone, as well as a several coping skills that helped me learn to live again. I immediately started volunteering at the camp and realized that by helping others, I myself was healing. Soon after I went back to school to get my Master in counseling and today it is my goal to help as many people as I can.

Taking that first step and reaching out for help is not easy and it takes a tremendous amount of courage. If you are ready to take that first step with me you will be treated with compassion and kindness.

I look forward to working with you!
