"What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us. And when you bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen."
Henry David Thoreau

Lindsey works to create a therapeutic environment marked by warmth, empathy, approachability, and collaboration. It is important to Lindsey that you feel that she is the best fit therapist for you as your comfort and connection will make the most impact in your willingness to share and grow.
Lindsey empowers her clients to develop a more positive view of who they are and who they can be. She believes clients have the ability to face and overcome challenges more successfully once they see their own natural strengths. Building on these strengths, Lindsey provides strong person-centered interventions providing clients with additional skills and techniques to improve their social emotional functioning.
Understanding that often emotional pain can take root in the mind/body and cause difficulties with thoughts, behaviors, and overall functioning, Lindsey incorporates aspects of Evidence Based strategies such as, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, Motivational interviewing, Psychoeducation, Brainspotting, and Mindfulness to help tailor interventions for optimal healing and recovery. Lindsey uses Brainspotting as a tool to neurobiologically process and release sources of emotional/body pain and a variety of other challenging symptoms that are typically out of reach of the conscious mind.
In her free-time, Lindsey enjoys hiking, reading, traveling, spending time with her friends and family, and training two dogs to be therapy dogs one day.
