ASSOCIATE MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST

Hi, I'm Lesley & I'm really glad you're here. I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. My approach is rooted in compassion and encouragement. I want you to feel safe exploring life’s challenges while discovering the strength and tools you already have within you. I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing, and I have over six years of experience working with adolescents, as well as individuals, couples, and groups.

I use trauma-informed care, empathy, and compassion to create a safe space for growth. I support adolescents, young adults, and adults from diverse backgrounds navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, and trauma. Together, we’ll build self-esteem, process painful experiences, and develop tools for resilience and balance.

I also have a deep passion for men’s mental health, with the hope that men feel supported and empowered in a space that truly welcomes them. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel scary, but seeking support is a courageous and meaningful choice, and you don’t have to do it alone.

I am supervised by Shirley Romulo, LCSW.
