About Leslie

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), trained to guide you through challenging relationships.

If your family or relationship is struggling, if you are feeling depressed or anxious, or if you are worried about your child's well-being, I am here to help. I specialize in helping couples, families, children, adolescents, and individuals. My areas of expertise include relationship conflict, attachment damage, separation and divorce, parent-child relationships, blended families, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. I provide Discernment Counseling for couples considering divorce and I am a facilitator for the Prepare/Enrich premarital counseling program.

A Durham native, I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and owner of Durham Family Counseling. I earned a Masters degree in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Maryland. To help you reach your goals, I will collaborate with you using CBT, DBT, Gottman, Attachment-Based, and Experiential models of therapy, as well as play therapy for children.

Relationships are challenging, and I am committed to creating a safe and validating environment to work together at overcoming obstacles and trying new solutions. Contact me for a free 10 minute consultation.
