Dr. Trexler is integrative, and uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), sensate focus, and mindfulness. She incorporates research into treatment and has taught at the college level.

Dr. Trexler says, "Therapy should not be a one size fits all approach. I believe clients and counselors should collaborate and challenge each other for the best therapeutic outcomes. In sessions with me, we're going to dive into the uncomfortable, work on overturning harm and still find humor and powerful human connection."

Family issues are also a specialty. Dr. Trexler works with adult children and parents with issues surrounding difficult relationships and reconnecting after estrangement. She works with many adult children of dysfunctional families as well.

In addition to being a licensed professional counselor, Dr. Trexler has her PhD in Sex Therapy. She received specialized training in the field of human sexuality with a specific emphasis on applying sexuality concepts to work as a counselor. The program focused on research, assessment and intervention in the area of sexuality. She can treat a wide range of sexual issues in individuals and couples, including but not limited to:

Erectile dysfunction
Premature ejaculation
Libido differences
Sex addiction/porn addiction/out of control sexual behavior
Vaginismus
Anorgasmia
Anxiety around sex
Recovery from sexual abuse

She is experienced in helping couples discuss and navigate sensitive conversations about sex, orientation, fantasies, kink, and preferences. One of her favorite books is Polywise: A Deeper Dive Into Navigating Open Relationships by Jessica Fern and David Cooley. Dr. Trexler says, "Polywise is incredibly helpful for couples newly navigating non-monogamy or polyamory but also provides helpful frameworks for reinventing the way all couples, monogamous or not, approach challenging conversations with partners."

Like all Best Life clinicians, Dr. Trexler is an LGBTQ+ ally and is committed to providing an inclusive and supportive environment for all clients.

Dr. Trexler lives in Maryland with her partners. Outside of work, she loves board games and snuggling with her cats. She is active in the kink community, performs in theater when she can, and used to be a professional ballroom dancer.
