ABOUT LIGHTHOUSE
HI, I'M LEXIE.
I’m a therapist, author, educator, and creator of Gremlins & Goats.
For more than 15 years, I’ve worked in mental health helping people understand the patterns underneath what they think, feel, and do. Lighthouse grew from that work. It is where I take the ideas, frameworks, tools, and experiences shaped through years of clinical practice and bring them into a broader space for education, reflection, practice, and connection.
Because understanding matters. But healing happens in the living.
HOW I GOT HERE.
I did not start Lighthouse because I wanted to build another place full of information.
I built it because information is not always the problem.
People can understand why they do what they do.
They can know where the pattern came from.
They can recognize the belief underneath it.
And still feel stuck living it.
That gap between knowing and living has shaped a lot of my work.
It is what led me to create Gremlins & Goats.
It is what shaped The Unbinding.
And it is what continues to guide the experiences, trainings, conversations, and resources created through Lighthouse.
FROM THERAPIST TO CREATOR.
My work has taken a lot of forms over the years.
Therapist.
Clinical educator.
Author.
Retreat facilitator.
Speaker.
Creator.
But the thread running through all of it has stayed pretty consistent: Help people understand what shaped them, notice what no longer serves them, and practice something different.
Lighthouse gives me room to do that beyond the therapy room.
THE FRAMEWORK BEHIND THE WORK
GREMLINS & GOATS
Gremlins & Goats is a practical framework for understanding how experiences become beliefs, beliefs become stories, and stories become the patterns we repeat. It gives people language for recognizing protective patterns without shaming them. And it gives us a way to ask a different question: What deserves to lead now?
The framework shows up throughout Lighthouse in different ways.
In writing. In guided journeys. In retreats. In professional education. In conversations.
In the way we think about healing and change.
HEAL. PLAY. THRIVE.
These three words have become an anchor for the way I think about the work.
Heal what still needs your attention.
Play with possibility, curiosity, and new ways of responding.
Thrive by building a life that reflects what matters to you now.
Not perfectly.
Not all at once.
But intentionally.
BEYOND KNOWING
THE GOAL IS NOT JUST INSIGHT.
Insight matters.
Language matters.
Understanding matters.
But eventually, the work has to leave the journal, the workshop, the session, or the retreat.
It has to show up in how you set the boundary.
How you respond when the old story gets loud.
How you take care of yourself.
How you show up in relationships.
How you make decisions.
How you live.
That is the work I am most interested in.
Moving from knowing into living.
