About Leslie

She has experience working with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, life transitions, and stress management.
Leslie completed her Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Maryland.

She also encourages her clients to use a holistic approach to health through exercise, nutrition, getting enough sleep, having supportive relationships, and doing activities that bring them joy.
You can expect Leslie to get to know you and address any concerns you have. She will be honest, but optimistic and realistic. Leslie knows your time is valuable and your trust is just as valuable, so she will work to earn that. She will also be respectful of your opinions.
