My Approach to Helping

Hi there! My name is Leslie and I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT), Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP), Reiki Master, & Curandera who is dedicated to helping you become your best self. I received my Master of Arts in Creative Arts Therapy Counseling in 2021 and have years of experience with in-patient youth & adult behavioral health, geriatrics, children with disabilities, LGBTQ2S+, and BIPOC communities. As an Art Therapist, KAP Provider, Reiki Master, and Curandera, I am able to connect with my clients on a deeper level. I love creating healing spaces where one can connect with their higher self and free self-expression is always encouraged. I use the creative process to explore emotions, reduce anxiety, increase self-esteem, and resolve other psychological conflicts. I’m super approachable, caring, and down-to-earth. Every so often, we just need to be silly, laugh, play, and create no matter how old we are. I look forward to helping brave individuals navigate their worlds, advocate for themselves, and build their self-esteem. Let’s connect and together we'll help you transcend into your best self.

More Info About My Practice

Our sessions will take place in a warm and artistic safe space. I use an Existential and Holistic approach in my practice. During our initial sessions, we will use Art Therapy assessments and self-expression to dive deeper into the pressing concerns. We do offer HIPAA compliant virtual sessions and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy through Journey Clinical.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I specialize in working with clients who may be struggling with self-esteem, depression, and trauma related to their identity, families, and relationships. Together, we will explore and address challenges in a safe space where healing and growth are always nurtured. Most of my clients express positive experiences with Art Therapy within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
