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. As a military spouse, I have a unique appreciation of how stressful life can be when there are events going on outside of our control and I often utilize mindfulness practices to remain present.
Our sessions might involve humor, honest conversation, and going at a pace that feels right to you. I aim to bring my authentic self into our work, balancing warmth with professionalism. You can expect a space free of judgment, where we build on your strengths, gently challenge unhelpful patterns, and respect when you need time and space.
It's not always easy to ask for help, so I am honored to be considered on your personal growth journey and hope that you feel willing to reach out and discuss next steps. I am currently operating virtually through Headway, though you can reach out to me directly and we can discuss the next steps together.
