More about Leslie
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington state and have 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I completed my degree in 2000. While earning my Masters degree, I worked in two different inpatient psychiatric hospitals for a year each. Then, I worked for seven years at a community mental health center as a therapist and clinical supervisor. After taking a few years off to be a stay at home mom, I had a private practice for five years and found it was my favorite setting of all. This is my fourth year with Better Help. I have worked with groups and individuals struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, grief, illness, and life change. Additionally, I have assisted people working on relationship boundaries and emotional abuse.
My style is warm and caring and thoughtful. I believe in treating people with respect and dignity, knowing our lives bring us to a crossroads at times where the path forward isn't always clear. We can look together at your goals and obstacles to pioneer a way through by prioritizing and taking one step at a time. I want to provide a safe space to hear you and help you gain a more comprehensive perspective of the landscape of your life or focus in on one facet of an issue. I will adjust my approach based on your preferences. My approach blends person-centered, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and mindfulness techniques. In addition, I utilize an understanding of neuroscience to help inform what is going on in the brain and how we can harness that knowledge to bring about lasting change.
I will work with you to develop goals that meet your preferences for treatment and specific needs in the therapy process. You have a central role in deciding your focus and collaborating the path forward. My role is to support you and assist you in making progress. Seeking out counseling is a brave move and I am so proud of you for taking this step.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Leslie is really intelligent and amazing !
Great therapist I learn new coping methods from her often!
Leslie is amazing! She is so caring and respectful and really listens to what I have to say. She really knows how to get you to dig deep to see the root of the issues. She has taught me so much over the last couple months. She has literally changed my life! I am so grateful God brought her into my life and could use her to help me through some really hard times and help me to see my full potential as a wife, mother and child of God. Thank you will never seem like enough!
Leslie is great. She has great listening skills and helps me process my current needs.
I feel so lucky to have Leslie as my therapist. She is very caring, understanding, and authentic. She brings warmth and positivity to all of our sessions, which is very uplifting. She also has great suggestions on how to apply practices to my everyday life.
Talking with Leslie is helping a lot. She is a pleasure to talk to and made the transition between therapists so much easier by telling me about herself and taking a history of me. She gives concrete ways to work through my issues and how to take care of myself. She picks up on unique insights and instead of reliving trauma over and over I feel like progress is being made.
Leslie is a super hero. I always feel heard and she provides great resources to continue learning more about myself and how to overcome my struggles
