Lexi is currently accepting clients and is available for sessions remotely online via SimplePractice Monday-Thursday.


Message to clients

Hello and welcome! Thank you for considering going on this journey with me! Here is a little bit about me-

As a therapist that identifies as Queer and Neurodivergent, I am passionate about working with and advocating for LGBTQIA+ individuals, as well as other marginalized identities. I welcome topics such as diversity and identity in the counseling room.

When I am not practicing therapy, I enjoy singing, songwriting, and playing instruments. I also love to include music and art within therapy. I feel that utilizing creativity and mindfulness can be healing in many ways.

I believe that everyone has a story to tell and thank you for being open to sharing yours with me.
