Hi! I'm Lexie, and I'm really glad you're here.

I started Her Hope Behavioral Health because I've lived through the struggles I now help women navigate. I'm a mom to three incredible kids, and I've experienced Postpartum Depression and Postpartum OCD firsthand. I also live with ADHD. These aren't just clinical diagnoses I read about in textbooks—they're part of my story, and they've shaped how I understand and support the women who come to my practice.

For the past 16 years, I've been working with women through some of life's most challenging moments. My work began with women in addiction recovery, and over time it naturally expanded to include women facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and the complex mental health challenges that come with reproductive health and motherhood.

The Women I Work With

Many of the women I see are navigating the postpartum period—dealing with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or postpartum OCD. They're experiencing intrusive thoughts that terrify them, or they're not feeling the way they expected to feel after having a baby. Some are still pregnant and struggling with prenatal anxiety. Others are working through the trauma of a difficult birth. Whether you're becoming a mother for the first time or the fourth time, these experiences are real and they deserve support.

I also work with women facing infertility and pregnancy loss. The grief that comes with miscarriage, the stress and uncertainty of fertility treatments, the identity shift that follows loss—these are profound experiences that need more than generic support. I conduct infertility mental health assessments according to ASRM standards, which allows me to work alongside your medical team throughout your fertility journey.

Beyond perinatal mental health, I specialize in helping women with ADHD and OCD. Living with ADHD myself means I understand the unique challenges of managing a brain that works differently—especially when you're also trying to manage motherhood, work, relationships, and daily life. I also work with women dealing with reproductive health conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and menopause, and I use EMDR therapy to support women healing from trauma and addiction.

Supporting the Helpers

Another important part of my practice is working with therapists, doctors, midwives, doulas, and nurses. These are the people who witness birth trauma, support families through devastating loss, and carry the emotional weight of caring for others in their most vulnerable moments. I use EMDR therapy to help birth workers and healthcare providers process vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and the grief that comes with this work. If you spend your days caring for others, you deserve a space to process what you carry too.

You're Not Alone

The postpartum period can feel incredibly isolating. So can pregnancy loss, infertility struggles, and managing conditions like ADHD or OCD while trying to keep everything together. But you don't have to navigate any of this alone. My goal is to help you heal and to help you build a network of support around you. Together, we'll work on your recovery, help you reclaim your sense of self, and create a life that feels more manageable.

When I'm not working, I'm usually with my kids—listening to them laugh, playing outside, spending time with my family, or listening to music.

If this resonates with you, I'd love to connect.
