About
Leslie
I help clients facing life challenges with warm, down-to-earth support and practical tools. I blend listening-first, relationship-centered care with clear, achievable goals so healing feels both safe and useful. I focus on helping you figure out your next step, and making that manageable.
I enjoy gathering with friends, visiting the mountains, being outside in the sun with strong coffee, and streaming a good series. I have over 40 years participation in 12-step communities, am a Christian, and mother of 2 adult daughters.
