Hi there, I'm Lacy!

I'm so glad you're here. I believe that every human has the strength inside of them to meet their needs, but sometimes we need a bit of help in finding it. I'm here to help.

My focus

I work with individuals navigating life's challenges, couples enhancing communication and strengthening relationships, and teens building resilience and healthy coping strategies. I address stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, life transitions, self-esteem, and confidence.

My approach

I am a direct communicator with a sense of humor and believe that the stories we tell ourselves matter. I explore your thoughts to help manage or improve your feelings. My goal is to help you become proactive and build the confidence and skills needed to get your needs met.

My communication style

I'm a direct communicator with a sense of humor. I'm interested in the story you tell, and helping you to discover and meet your needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe in the power of connection and giving others the tools they need to show up for you through communication. I have varied experience personally and professionally, and there isn't anything you can say to me that will scare or overwhelm me. I'm here to help carry the load until it becomes manageable for you.

My goals for you

I utilize motivational interviewing, narrative storytelling, and cognitive behavior therapy to identify your goals and areas of focus. I believe that you need to know where you're headed before you can build a roadmap to get there. Who do you want to be, and what is standing in your way?

Our first session

The first session is an introduction and opportunity to ask or answer any questions to determine if we might be a good fit. I want to know what works for you and what doesn't. We'll work to identify treatment goals and plans and build a framework for what to expect moving forward.
