I’m so glad you’re here!

Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming and daunting because not only are you searching for credentials, you're searching for someone you can trust with the hardest parts of your story. I'm here to ease that search.

I work with adults and older teens navigating anxiety, low confidence, low self-esteem, as well as those carrying the weight of traumatic experiences. Using EMDR therapy, I help clients process what's happened to them, quiet the noise of self-doubt, and move toward a life that feels full of self-trust, self-confidence and resolution.

My approach to helping others heal is collaborative, solution-focused, intuitive, and gentle. I believe people change when they are ready to heal their inner world, which in turn repairs their outer world, such as their relationships, career, and family.

I specialize in healing trauma through EMDR, which can be extremely effective at reducing fear, anger, guilt, and sleep problems. EMDR heals your past so that you can thrive in the present.

Lindsey’s style

My approach is grounded and calm, with a touch of relatability. I work from a trauma-informed care lens, which means I move at a pace that feels safe for you, honor what your nervous system has learned to do to protect you, and never push you toward a memory or feeling before you're ready. At the same time, I keep an eye on where you want to go. My work is solution-focused, so alongside processing the past, we're also building practical tools and steady progress toward the life you're working to create.

I embody a holistic approach in learning about my clients and how we can collaborate toward healing. In our first session, I listen to your history, your triggers, what excites you, and most importantly, what is causing you the most suffering. Depending on your needs, I may provide real-time calming tools within the initial session. Together, we decide on a path forward to meet your goals within our therapeutic sessions.
