I am a Colorado native and do my very best to live up to the stereotype! I love everything outdoors and try to spend as much time outside all year round, as I can. I am married and have two dogs, as well as a baby girl on the way. I enjoy reading, crocheting, doing jigsaw puzzles and spending time with family. My Bachelor's is from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in Psychology & Neuroscience and my Master's is from Argosy University, Chicago.

Accepting new clients! Suffering is part of being human. Sometimes we can take actions that remove our suffering, but sometimes we have to come to a level of acceptance that suffering is always present. Often, this mindset alone relieves some of our pain because we are no longer being bombarded by the thought of controlling our emotions. I strive to help you get there, releasing yourself from the trap of overwhelming thoughts so you can be more present, make room for your emotions, and take actions that represent who you want to be. My goal is to provide an environment that caters to your needs of safety and expression.

Can you identify with Sisyphus? The character in Greek mythology who was doomed to roll the rock up the hill, only to have the rock roll back down again? Do you feel your individual efforts have not brought the equanimity you deserve and desire? Perhaps you are now in the place where you need professional support. I welcome working with individuals who have not been able to resolve issues on their own. I will, through the use of the therapeutic process, help individuals and couples clarify their thinking, and ultimately make powerful and healthy changes in their lives.

Whether you’re a person struggling to meet your full potential, a parent hoping to see your child thrive, or a family working to repair broken relationships, good therapy can result in growth and lasting change. It takes courage to be willing to honestly look at ourselves. It takes a safe, open and non-judgmental space, as well as an experienced therapist to make that work possible. As a licensed professional counselor this is the work I do. My approach is open and straightforward. I use scientifically-based methods, years of experience and customized techniques, to match your specific needs.

My name is Lexis, and I’d like to start by telling you how strong you are for taking the first step. It takes an enormous amount of courage, yet here you are!

My mission is to empower individuals and couples to overcome personal obstacles, to enrich their partnerships, and deepen their connections with the ones around them.

Therapy is all about you-you're the expert. I take a client-centered, solution-focused approach to therapy. I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative one in which you are the expert on yourself, and I come into the session with the experience and skills to help. I have a laid back style and like using humor, when appropriate. I enjoy working with children, adolescent, and adult clients who are struggling with eating disorders, mood issues, life transitions, and chronic health issues.

I have experience working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief/loss, past trauma, and other significant life events. I use EMDR therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques to help my clients develop positive and healthy coping skills.

I offer a positive, non-judgmental and realistic approach to the counseling process. I am currently accepting new clients and would like to work with you.

Over the course of my career, I have worked with various populations of teen and adult clients in the mental health field. I can honestly say that I love what I do and have always found a unique way to connect with each client. I believe it is important to view each person who I meet with an intersectional and unbiased lens and to construct a treatment plan and therapy style for each client that is in line with not just their specific mental health needs, but their personality, sense of humor, and values.

Do you feel like your anxiety is getting in the way of living your full potential? Are you finding yourself feeling uninterested in things you used to enjoy? Are you dealing with constant conflict with your relationships? Do you wonder why others seem to be living a better life than you? Is it difficult to meet expectations set by you or others? Have you recently had an emotional breakdown?

At its best, therapy is a space for intense self-discovery and exciting exploration. It is often true that the things we struggle with most lead us to encounters with our deepest values, and I am inspired by the way in which struggle can be transformed into strength and groundedness through careful, sensitive work. As a therapist, I’ll help you see the parts of you (your strengths, your challenges, your patterns) that have been invisible to you until now. After successful therapy, it should feel like you are seeing yourself clearly for the first time.

I am an AEDP and Emotionally-Focused therapist working with individual adults on transforming challenges with mood, relationships and trauma into flourishing. While we will have specific goals for therapy, ultimately my hope is that you feel more alive, authentic, connected, resilient and self-accepting. We start by building a safe and trusting environment within which vulnerabilities, difficult experiences and unhelpful patterns can emerge and new experiments in thinking, feeling and relating can be attempted. This takes courage, and it can feel risky to speak the truth, to embrace disowned feelings, even just to receive support.

Are you struggling to feel fulfilled in your relationships with others? Have you been unsuccessful at finding a long-term solution to enhancing your emotional and physical intimacy with your partner(s)? Has it been difficult to consistently get your needs/wants met within your relationships with others? Have you noticed any anxiety, depression or stress related to the relationships you have in your life? I work with individuals, couples, partnerships (polyamorous-friendly) and families located in Colorado and Illinois to help answer as well as find solutions to these questions.

I believe one of the bravest things we can do is begin to understand our own story. Vulnerability can be one of the scariest, most liberating, and empowering acts, and undoubtedly takes courage - so I commend you for being here, wherever you are in your process.
