"We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails” - Dolly Parton
Hi! I’m Lex!
My path to counselling has been shaped by my own messy, meaningful experiences—and a deep appreciation for the courage it takes to grow. I believe that working on ourselves doesn’t mean going it alone; having a support system can make all the difference. I’m a lifelong learner with a passion for understanding people, and I see therapy as a space where both insight and self-compassion can flourish. With a background that spans working with all kinds of folks across different fields, I bring curiosity, care, and a belief that knowing yourself better is a gift worth pursuing.
My Approach To Therapy
Working with me is a mix of real talk, deep care, and a few gentle nudges. I show up as my full self and invite you to do the same. Expect to feel supported, understood, and occasionally challenged to look at things from a fresh angle. My hope is that you leave each session feeling a little more connected to yourself (and maybe even a little more motivated too).
-
You are the expert on your own life. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where your experiences, emotions, and goals take center stage.
-
Change is possible, even in small steps. I help you identify practical solutions and build on what’s already working to create meaningful progress.
-
Being present in the moment can bring clarity and calm. I incorporate mindfulness techniques to help you manage stress, build self-awareness, and cultivate inner balance.
-
You have unique strengths and inner resources. I help you recognize and build on them, fostering resilience and confidence as you navigate life’s challenges.
What to Expect in Sessions
In our sessions, you can expect a welcoming, encouraging, and nonjudgmental environment where they can freely express themselves. I work with clients to customize each session to meet their specific needs, whether that be establishing meaningful goals, coping mechanisms, or thought and emotion exploration. Reflection, gentle challenges, and useful skills to deal with life's obstacles are all possible in sessions. Above all, I want to provide an environment where clients are confident, heard, and supported in their own growth.

How I Want You to Feel After a Session
After each session, I want my clients to leave feeling heard, supported, and relieved as if they can take a big breath and release some of the burden they've been bearing. Similar to the sensation of being with someone who genuinely understands and values you, I hope that sessions bring clarity and comfort!
