About Leslie
License #: 87209Hi, I’m Leslie. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with formal training in counseling and several years of experience providing trauma-informed care to adults. I completed my graduate education at University of North Texas with a MS in Rehabilitation Counseling and became licensed in 2021. My professional experience includes work in private practice and clinical settings, supporting individuals with trauma histories, anxiety, depression, stress-related concerns, and life transitions. I prioritize ethical practice, continued education, and thoughtful, client-centered care. I’m additionally a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist and Brainspotting Practitioner (Phase 4). I’m also Internal Family Systems informed. One very important detail to know about me is that I was in a near fatal car wreck that left me paralyzed from the waist down. I was seconds away from a blood clot shutting down my heart. So I do know what it’s like to survive a life I didn’t know what it would be. But now over 25 years later, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I care deeply that my clients feel seen and heard. I identify as queer and am metaphysical, as well. I’m also known to watch documentaries on serial killers and neuroscience. I enjoy spending time with friends and my sweet kitty, PJ. All animals are welcome to virtual sessions! I get invested on how they’re doing too!
My Therapeutic Approach
My theoretical orientation integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, somatic approaches, and Brainspotting. I work from a nervous-system-informed, parts-based perspective that emphasizes safety, regulation, and embodied processing.
Who I Help Best
I work best with adults who are experiencing the effects of trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Many of the clients I support feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but struggle to change on a nervous-system level. I’m especially well suited to working with individuals who have complex or developmental trauma, heightened nervous system sensitivity, or who feel disconnected from their bodies or emotions. Clients who benefit most from my work are often thoughtful, self-aware, and motivated for deeper, experiential therapy rather than strictly cognitive approaches.
What a First Session Is Like
The first session is focused on helping you feel comfortable and oriented. We’ll go at your pace, talk about what brings you in, and get a sense of what support might be most helpful for you right now. There’s no pressure to share everything at once, and we’ll prioritize creating a sense of safety and clarity. Many clients describe the first session as calming, and steady, not like being “analyzed” and more like being met where they are.
