About Lesline

I am Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I received my Undergraduate degree with a double major in Psychology and Religion from Carleton University in Ottawa, and my Masters in Counselling & Spirituality from a joint program at Saint Paul University and the University of Ottawa.


I bring many years of experience to my work and I am committed to respecting and empowering my clients in a safe, caring and non-judgmental way. My goal is to assist clients to discover and develop their own inner resources and strengths. I am also a Pastoral Counsellor recognizing the spiritual dimension of individuals and if this is a meaningful part of your life we will discuss it.


My approach is to incorporate elements from a variety of evidence-based clinical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) and mindfulness techniques. Helping with depression, anxiety, grief, social anxiety, self-esteem domestic abuse and other issues.

I am a Certified Anger Management Facilitator, Speaker, Workshop/Seminar Facilitator and Presenter.
