Do you often feel like you’re just getting through the day or that:
-
Trauma can lead to intense emotions, intrusive memories, concentration and memory issues, and difficulty trusting others, which can disrupt daily functioning and relationships.
-
You’re trying to find that sense of peace and happiness you once had, but it feels like it's out of reach.
-
No matter what you do, it feels like you’re missing something and can’t really fit in.
With compassionate treatment, you get to feel better. It doesn’t have to be this way.
You’re walking around feeling triggered by trauma all the time and:
the flashbacks and nightmares are getting really old.
you feel frozen, ready to run, or ready to snap constantly.
you need the past to stop getting in the way of enjoying the “now.”
You’re a woman in the Millenial or Gen Z category and:
the weight of expectations to balance relationships, personal goals, and self-care is leaving you completely exhausted.
the feeling of not measuring up to the curated lives you see online or the constant worry about the future is too much.
you may struggle to get out of bed or find motivation or purpose.
You’re a teen who is struggling at school or with friendships and:
You might feel misunderstood or different. It’s tough when others don’t get what you’re going through.
Simple tasks can feel overwhelming. Things like staying organized or talking to people might drain you.
Your thoughts and feelings can be hard to control. It’s like your brain never stops, making it hard to focus or relax.

Meet Lesley!
I believe you are SO WORTHY of a life and connections you deeply enjoy.
I specialize in helping neurodivergent teens and young women navigate the complexities of anxiety, mood swings, social challenges, and past trauma. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to “fit in” socially, manage your emotions, or heal from past wounds, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can work on building healthier coping strategies, improving your relationships, and fostering the confidence to show up as your true, authentic self.
Whether you're a neurodivergent teen, a young woman with anxiety and mood swings, or healing from past trauma, therapy can help you find peace and confidence. Together, we'll build skills to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and heal from past wounds, empowering you to live authentically and embrace emotional resilience. I'm here to support you.
I know it can feel overwhelming to face anxiety, mood shifts, or past trauma. How do I know? I’ve been the therapist and I’ve also HAD the therapy. I probably always will for my own well-being. All that to say, you don’t have to go through it alone. Together, we can explore ways to manage these challenges and help you feel more confident and at peace. If you're ready to start your healing journey, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

Therapy for Millenial & Gen Z Women
I specialize in therapy for Gen Z and Millennial women, helping you navigate the pressure of balancing career, relationships, social media, and self-care.

Together, we’ll create the space for you to thrive in all aspects of your life, while staying true to who you are.
Therapy for Neurodivergent Teens
