Hi! I'm Lexi. I am an LCPC based in Maryland and Pennsylvania. I have 4 years of experience working with adolescents and adults at various levels of care. My work focuses on the treatment of older teens and adults who have experienced attachment trauma, complex trauma, or difficulties with their relationship to food and body. I take a compassion-focused approach and work within a relational lens to meet my clients where they are on their journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My clients can expect a low-pressure environment during our first session. It is of the utmost importance to me that you are comfortable and can remain in your window of tolerance enough to share what is bringing you to therapy. I will be there to walk alongside you and probe gently, but I will never ask for too much, as it is up to you what you would like to share with me. My main focus in our first session will be building trust and establishing a space where you feel validated and heard.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with mostly clients experiencing trauma and eating disorders during my career, I take great care in building trust and rapport within the relationship. I believe my greatest strength is my ability to provide compassion for all parts of self and to work within the relationship to heal attachment wounds.

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
I am fully trained in EMDR and have taken advanced trainings to supplement my knowledge of EMDR and the treatment of attachment trauma and Borderline Personality Disorder. I use EMDR with clients when they are requesting to process past lived experiences or hoping to extinguish inner negative core beliefs. I often integrate Ego-state therapy (parts work), and somatic therapy with EMDR to aid in smoother trauma reprocessing.
Relational
I used relational therapies to highlight the importance of the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for healing attachment wounds. This may look like exploring how our relationship feels session to session, or holding open dialogue about what you may need more or less of within the therapeutic relationship.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I often use DBT skills to assist clients with stabilization. Some mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills are important to possess before trauma reprocessing.
