Hi, I’m Lexi.

Before anything else, I’m a person, just like you. I know how exhausting it can be to keep moving through life while quietly carrying so much. On the outside, you may look like you have it all together. Internally, though, you might feel overwhelmed, burnt out, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what direction to take next.

I work especially well with high-functioning adults who are used to holding a lot. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and deeply responsible. They are often the ones others rely on. They are used to pushing through, staying productive, and keeping things moving, even when they are anxious, emotionally overloaded, or running on empty. Over time, that kind of over-functioning can leave you feeling disconnected from your own needs, your body, and the parts of you that have been trying to get your attention for a long time.

Whether it shows up as nonstop anxious thoughts, relationship tension, career confusion, body image distress, people-pleasing, burnout, or the lingering impact of trauma, it is easy to lose touch with what you actually need when you have spent so long managing everything else.

Therapy with me is a chance to pause and reconnect. It is a space to slow down, breathe, and explore what is happening beneath the surface without needing to perform, have the right words, or figure it all out ahead of time. You get to come as you are, and I will meet you there.

I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions, relationship challenges, body image concerns, and disordered eating. I also work with men who want to better understand themselves, their emotional world, and the roles they have learned to play in relationships and in life. Many of the people I work with are motivated for change and want therapy that goes deeper than simply talking through a problem. They want to understand their patterns, feel more connected to themselves, and move through the world with more clarity and intention.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and holistic, with a strong focus on the mind-body connection. I integrate somatic work into therapy because so much of what we carry does not live only in our thoughts. It lives in the body, in the nervous system, and in the strategies we have learned to survive. Together, we will look at what is keeping you stuck while building more awareness, regulation, and self-trust. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more self-aware, and more aligned with a life that actually feels good to live.

In our work, I show up as my full self, which is real, warm, sometimes funny, and always present. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, IFS, and mindfulness practices, always tailoring our work to what feels most supportive for you.
