About Leslie

I walk two worlds in this life. Ignited and inspired by lifelong experiences in non-ordinary reality since childhood, I’ve embarked on my personal heroine’s journey that integrates ancient healing practices, and western psychology including the dream world, traveling to global sacred sites, learning from South American and global shamans.

Most significantly I gather deep knowledge from my own numinous experiences that emerge through the dream realm and shadow exploration, compassionate helping spirits, shamanic journeys, and while visiting other lives of my multidimensional existence. This is all to inform my life. My passion for self-discovery is to see beyond the veil of the physical world, to touch the numinous, to integrate material and the spirit for personal and collective healing. I am grateful for all those who came before me sharing their wisdom. I want to bring to others what has been healing for me.

My graduate academic training is from Columbia University, University of Rochester, and the University at Buffalo. Currently, I am a Diploma candidate at the C. G. Jung Institute for Psychoanalytical Studies, Zurich, Switzerland under the mentorship of esteemed Jungian psychoanalysts authors and publishers, such as Donald Kalsched and Robert Hinshaw.

I am a NYS licensed Psychotherapist, certified Shamanic practitioner and Shamanic counselor through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, Dolores Cannon QHHT Quantum Healing Hypnosis certified L2, Sacred Sound practitioner, and other varied trainings including IFS and ISTDP, with whom I am grateful to have been a mentee of psychotherapist Marvin Skorman.

I’ve served on various community boards including youth and under privileged music and arts developmental programs, and supported those during war time crisis in healing circles. I love to travel and immerse myself in different cultures meeting new people, to be in nature, hiking, swimming, playing. Spending time with myself in stillness, reading, and time with my family are energizing forces for my life and my soul.
