Great to meet you!

I’m Dr. Lexi, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and proud combat veteran based in Las Vegas, Nevada. I hold both a Master’s and a Doctoral degree in Social Work.

​I’ve dedicated my career to the field of social services and mental health, motivated by a genuine passion for helping others. My experience spans a range of settings, providing compassionate and effective support to individuals and families as they face various life challenges.

A bit about my approach to therapy

During our initial consultation, I will address any concerns and expectations you may have, ensuring you feel heard and understood from the very beginning. My approach is to meet you where you are, recognizing your unique experiences and challenges.

What you can expect from our first session

Together, we will collaboratively build and execute a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. You can expect:

  • A Safe and Non-Judgmental Space: I provide an environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
  • Empathy and Understanding: Your experiences and emotions will be met with empathy, respect, and genuine care.
  • Personalized Care: Each session is tailored to your unique situation, ensuring that our approach is customized to best support your journey.
  • Professional Guidance: Leveraging my expertise and experience, I will provide guidance and techniques to help you navigate your challenges effectively.
