👋 Welcome! I’m Lesley, a Licensed Professional Counselor and mom to a transgender teen. I understand the joys, fears, and challenges of navigating identity, family relationships, and the world’s responses. I provide 🏳️🌈 LGBTQ affirming therapy and create a safe, supportive space for clients exploring gender identity, sexual orientation, or coming out. I also support parents of LGBTQ youth in building connection and acceptance. In addition, I enjoy working with women and 🎓 young adults/college students facing life transitions, identity development, stress, and anxiety. 🌱 I have lived experience as a woman, a mother, and a wife. Additionally, I have lived experience as a mother of an LGBTQIA+ child. Whether you are a young adult exploring identity, a transgender client seeking gender-affirming care, or a parent of an LGBTQ child, I offer compassionate therapy tailored to your journey. 💜 I work from a Person-Centered and Feminist lens, trusting each person’s wisdom to create change. Using DBT and CBT, I honor the role of community in growth. I provide 💬 assertiveness skill-building to support confidence, relationships, and empowerment. As I tell my kids, sometimes a villager is a paid professional—and I’d be honored to be part of your village.
