Lindsay has been incredibly helpful the past 5 months. She’s seen me through past traumas, dealing with adult children, and feeling at the end of my rope. Her EMDR training makes her especially valuable!

More about Lindsay

  • 11 years' experience

  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with in a variety of settings. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, life transitions, attachment, and ADHD.

I am trained in a variety of evidence based models including EMDR, TFCBT, Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety, and Multi-dimensional Family Therapy. My approach combines frameworks from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Liberation Psychology, and Somatic work. I believe in creating an inclusive, accepting, brave space for your healing journey. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I appreciate Lindsay’s attentiveness & her flexibility. Thank you very much!

Reviewed June 2023

Lindsay has helped me to change my life. I have tried so many things to "get better" throughout my life and felt like I was getting no where. With each new EMDR session, I feel so much relief and like I can take back a little control of my spiraling thoughts. I know I have a long road of healing left but I have hope for success for the first time in my life.
