Hi there, nice to meet you!

​

My name is Lesley and educationally I hold a Doctoral degree in Psychology from California Southern University. Prior to that I hold a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology (Walden University) and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Mount Allison University. I have worked in Mental Health and Addictions, University level teaching, as well as the public school system, prior to moving to private practice. On a professional learning level, I continue to evolve in my clinical practice. In the past year I have taken EMDR basic training and am working in that domain.

​

 

 In my spare time I enjoy being around the water; kayaking and swimming in the summer, as well as going for walks and snowshoeing in the winter. I balance that with spending time with family and friends.

​

In our time working together my goal is to provide a safe and comfortable space for you to talk and make the changes and gains that you are hoping to make. I use a combination of approaches based on what you may need. This may include CBT, DBT, EMDR, narrative, and solution focused treatment modalities. I work with individuals that are 16+ years old primarily but am open to working with other ages as well if we are a fit.

​

 

My areas of interest and experience include anxiety, grief and loss, stress, PTSD, relationships, depression, EMDR, among others.
