About Leslie

Life in the 21st century has changed drastically since March of 2020. We are confronting more and more challenges each day. How we meet these challenges can determine the amount of satisfaction we have in our relationships, our lives and in our world.

I BELIEVE…

• We can heal our personal past.

• It’s never too late to look inward.

• A wide array of therapeutic interventions can help us live a fuller and happier life.

• Our ancestors did not have the therapeutic advantages that we have today.

• We are doing the work they could not do.
