Professional statement

Lexi works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life changes, loneliness, and relationship issues. Whether these conditions are brought on by school, work pressures, family issues, and/or societal difficulties, she’ll collaborate to develop tools for managing uncomfortable feelings and living life to the fullest.

The modalities she uses depend on the presenting issue and what works best for each client. These may include but not be limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, supportive therapy, and/or mindfulness.

Lexi always looks for the best in her clients and to understand their challenges. She also values transparency. For example, if she’s taking notes, she tells clients what she found significant and why. If she asks the client a question, she wants them to know the reason for my asking. When there is transparency, Lexi and her clients are able to better work together.


Message to clients

Therapy is a space to share your story, find empowerment, and grow into the best version of yourself.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life changes, loneliness, and relationship issues. Whether these conditions are brought on by school,

work pressures, family issues, and/or societal difficulties, we’ll collaborate to find ways to cope so you can become more resilient and make the most out of life.

If you’re looking at therapist profiles, you’ve already taken the initiative to find help. This is a great starting place. Whether you’re looking for a space for self reflection, problem solving, or stress reduction, I’ll take a collaborative approach to facilitate your healing journey. Let’s work together to overcome the challenges affecting your daily life.
