About Leslie

Hi! I'm Leslie, a Master of Social Work (MSW) intern studying at the University of Saint Joseph. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and value the importance of providing culturally responsive, inclusive, and compassionate care.

 

My professional background includes working with children, adolescents, and adults with diverse developmental, behavioral, and social-emotional needs. Through these experiences, I have developed a strong appreciation for the importance of meeting individuals where they are, recognizing their unique strengths, and understanding how their experiences and environments shape their well-being.

 

I believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and cultural humility, with an emphasis on building trusting relationships and helping individuals navigate challenges at their own pace.

 

As I continue my journey in the field of social work, I look forward to supporting clients in exploring their experiences, building on their strengths, and working toward meaningful personal growth.
