You give so much to others but still feel unseen, unheard, or unfulfilled in your relationships. You worry you’re too much—or not enough. Maybe you say yes when you want to say no or feel guilty setting boundaries. You long for deeper, more mutual connections but aren’t sure how to break old patterns. It’s exhausting to question your worth and wonder if things will ever change. You deserve relationships where you feel valued, understood, and secure. Change is possible, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I provide individual therapy in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. I act as a guide and challenge you to explore what and why things may not be "working" in your life, as well as provide support and feedback to you about the patterns in your relationships. Finding a therapist who is a "good fit" for you can be difficult, so call me and we can discuss what you are looking for further.

I specialize in working with trauma survivors who want to increase their sense of self-compassion and embodied sense of emotional safety. Clients who work with me typically report understanding themselves more fully, building healthier boundaries within themselves and with others. I enjoy working with adults from all walks of life including different religions, cultures and lived experiences.
Although we will work together individually, I acknowledge the ways in which historical and present day systems of oppression impact your mental health. I honor and encourage ancestral wisdom and practices to incorporate in your healing journey

All of us yearn for a sense of belonging, and it is human to feel lonely due to issues we may be facing in life.

I approach therapy from a trauma-informed and harm reduction lens, meaning I’m sensitive to the past experiences that have shaped you into who you are today while working in a collaborative approach.

Clients need to feel that their concerns or needs can be met by a clinical professional. The goals of any client would come from collaboration and would hopefully be deemed realistic, worthwhile and attainable.

Maybe you are frustrated with your relationship and need to change it, or are considering moving on. Maybe you are continually having difficulties expressing yourself, or in dealing with stress, grief, anxieties, depression, or family/relationship matters.

Hi there, I'm Lexi! As a therapist, I’m passionate about helping people find their voice to feel truly seen and heard, and I strive to tailor my approach to your individual needs. I believe therapy can be more than just talking; it’s also about gaining a deeper understanding of your mental health, how daily stressors and our upbringing may influence your well-being and how to move forward, while also building practical coping skills. Our minds often focus on what’s happened in the past, or worry about our future, and that’s why I like to use mindfulness and body-based practices to help ground you in the present moment.

More generally, I work with clients who suffer from an inability to live life to its fullest and who want a more enriching life. People who wonder why they do the things they do, or who can't seem to do the things they want to do, are well suited for my psychoanalytic approach.
