I’m whitney, they/them, I'm trans, and I’m a therapist :) I have a background in play-based attachment therapy that I incorporate into working with people of all ages. Therapy has shown me that through a supportive relationship you can tell your story and find your strength. I continue to heal and learn by reconnecting with nature and through somatic practices of yoga and martial arts, and I love to share that with others! If you think we'd be a good fit, I'd love to meet you! Please email me with questions or schedule through counselingcenterwm.org

I have been a certified sex therapist for more than 10 years. I enjoy working with individuals and people in their relationships. I employ a variety of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and person first treatment models to help clients identify and attain their goals. I work extensively with the transgender, pansexual, bisexual, lesbian, and gay communities, as well as with members of the kink community.

I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families through several different issues. Some issues include infidelity, grief and loss, divorce, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. In therapy, I utilize my therapy dog, Walter, to provide comfort, reduce anxiety, and enhance the therapeutic process for clients. Walter's presence often helps clients feel more at ease and open up about their thoughts and emotions, leading to deeper and more impactful therapy sessions.

Hello there, I'm Lex. Are you feeling disconnected from your body, interested in exploring patterns, working through trauma, or would like to begin the next chapter of your life but are feeling stuck? As your counselor, my priority is understanding your perspective and empowering you to explore your inner world, celebrate your strengths, and honor your resilience. We will work together to get creatively curious about how to move forward by starting on the journey of creating goals in a non-judgmental, safe, and inclusive space. I recognize and support the unique strengths and perspectives of neurodivergent individuals.

Through my experience as a therapist, I have learned that asking stimulating questions in a trusting, safe, non-judgmental space empowers people to process past experiences and understand how their history impacts them today. Over the years I have found there is no “one way” approach to therapy. My approach to therapy is eclectic, supportive and collaborative. My philosophical belief is that therapy is a place where you can reflect on how to best navigate your life. I graduated from Central Michigan University in 2017 with a Masters degree in Professional Counseling after being honorably discharged from the United States Air Force.

The choice to seek therapy is often complicated and forming a relationship with your therapist is an important part of the process. I create a collaborative space where you can discuss your concerns, identities and story. Together we can identify where you would like therapy to take you, build on day-to-day techniques and explore deeper patterns and experiences that may create barriers. My approach is integrative and incorporates skills, narrative processing, metaphor, and intentional decision making. I hope that through our work you will feel empowered to make changes and feel more secure, stable, and in sync with your values.

Are you feeling like it's time to better understand what your unsettling feelings are trying to tell you? It could be that these have been present since you were young, or maybe it's an entirely new experience. In either case, I'm glad you found your way here. You deserve to enjoy your days and I will work with you to help you manage any fear or worry by getting to the heart of what is leading you to feel a lack of calm confidence. Maybe you already know the source but simply need to talk about it so that it doesn't have as much control over you. Either way, it's time for a new approach to dealing with this!

Trauma is any event that overwhelms one's ability to cope. It can be a major/inherently violent event (car accident, rape, serious illness/major surgery, war/combat) or smaller more complex/chronic events (abuse/neglect, domestic violence, living in an unstable/unsafe environment, poverty, and even religion.) Often people don't realize they've been through something that was traumatic to them. Instead thinking the effects of the trauma (difficulty concentrating, mood swings, fail academically, can't keep a job, chronic pain, chronic relationship problems) are representative of who they are as a person, and feel helpless/hopeless.

Does something feel off? Do you feel like you're getting by okay but need a little something? Therapy might be just the right tool to get you back to your full functioning self again. Sometimes life makes us carry way more than we can handle (although we rarely admit it) and that load takes a burden on us emotionally, physically, and mentally. It affects our relationships at work, home, and even our sex lives! It's not YOU, it's LIFE! My Specific areas of interest include marital conflict, divorce and/or remarriage, Infidelity, sex addiction, grief/loss, and more. If your LIFE is weighing you down, let's talk.

My therapeutic philosophy encourages individuals to take the initial step in becoming introspective and engaged in the wellbeing of their mental health. Everyone has unique perceptions of their mental health that require personalized approaches to accomplish their goals.
