Are you ready to TRANSFORM
your RELATIONSHIP?
Trust is one of the main reasons couples struggle with maintaining their connection. Repairing hurts and wounds can often times be overwhelming and confusing. However, it can also be an opportunity for growth and change.
I offer a safe and open setting in which to explore the needs of the relationship.

About Leslie
I believe that couples need "a space" to deepen their connection, to explore their process as it relates to their partner, and to understand each other in a safe setting.
I recognize that many couples do not know how to communicate their feelings or thoughts to each other and need support in creating the relationship that they have always envisioned.
I believe many couples start off with a sense of having found a person that they imagine is their perfect mate. That this person will love them like they want to be loved. It is when they discover their partner isn't perfect and may act in ways that seems contrary to building closeness, they turn toward therapy for hope and redesigning their relationship.

Why choose to work with Leslie?
I believe most of my clients choose me because of my experience, training and length of time I have been practicing. I have been a licensed psychotherapist since 1990 specializing in Couples therapy and Women's issues.
I have dedicated my work to understanding how emotions can be used to deepen the connection or create distance due to not understanding how to self-regulate their emotions.
What makes me unique, is my ability to hold the space for the depth of emotions and teaching clients how to do that for themselves and their loved ones. Much of my work is based in the belief that our emotions are often misunderstood and can drive conversations in directions that seem destructive and hurtful, resulting in walls that can't seem to be torn down.
