LCSW, 5 years of experience
Hi! I'm Lesly. I’m a first-generation Latina LCSW and I help people who feel tired of being the “strong one,” overwhelmed by overthinking, or stuck between family expectations, culture, and who they want to be. Many of my clients come in feeling unseen, burnt out, or weighed down by old wounds that keep resurfacing. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and specialize in supporting teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and identity challenges. My goal is to offer a warm, affirming space where your story matters and your healing feels possible :)
You’ll be welcomed into a calm, judgment-free space where we explore what’s been weighing on you and what you want to change. We’ll identify your goals and create a plan with practical steps you can start using right away.
I create a supportive, culturally attuned space where you feel seen and understood. I help you uncover patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, or carrying family/cultural pressure—and offer tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control.
-Are you feeling stuck with persistent worry, self‑criticism, or old wounds that keep showing up? -Have you experienced trauma and notice it's affecting your sleep, relationships, self‑esteem, or daily function? -Want therapy that’s culturally informed, inclusive, and tailored—not just a standard “one‑size‑fits‑all” approach? When you’re ready to step into a stronger relationship with yourself, to be seen and empowered, I’m here to walk alongside you.
We’ll gently uncover recurring patterns and explore how past experiences may be influencing your present—so you can heal and choose a different path.
We’ll examine how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, and build practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and boost your confidence.
You’ll learn about how your mind and emotions work — when you understand what’s happening, you’re empowered to change it.
I use this approach to help clients recognize their deeper feelings and needs, and to express them in ways that build safety and closeness. Together, we work on creating new, more supportive ways of relating to one another.
Your trauma is seen, understood, and respected. We’ll work at a pace that honours your experience and focuses on safety, healing, and restoration.
