Hi there, I'm Lindsey!

I am a compassionate, clear, and curious therapist. My priority is to get to know you, your life, and explore what makes you, you. Together we work to discover what you would like to see be different in your life and set transparent goals for this.

My focus

I address life stress, life transitions, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I specialize in children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I provide family therapy and emphasize the importance of inclusion of parents & caregivers in the therapeutic process for children and teens.

My approach

I am person-centered, trauma-informed, strength-based, and solution-focused. Working together means a lot of exploration of who you are, what is working for you in your life & clarity in developing the path we are on together in our sessions.

My communication style

I am soft, understanding, and believe in the importance of laughter & art in healing. You are the expert in your experience - I provide the structure. It is important for me to understand who you are and adapt our space to meet your needs. I believe in the importance of feedback and open communication in our therapeutic relationship.

My goals for you

Our beginning stage of time together focuses on understanding you as a person. As we move through this, we will dedicate time to identifying clear goals to guide our time together. I will give you clear strategies, concepts & practices to try outside of our session space. We evaluate what is working, what is not, and adjust together.

Our first session

Our first session is dedicated to getting to know each other and determining if we are a good fit for one another. I am transparent in my process and what to expect when working with a therapist like me. I am very curious about you and will ask a lot of questions to get to know you, your life, and your motivations in seeking therapy.
