My name is Lindsey, and I’m a licensed mental health counselor who provides a safe, supportive, and welcoming space for individuals to explore areas of dissatisfaction, challenge, or transition in their lives. Together, we can identify your strengths while also focusing on areas where growth and change feel important to you. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and use a strengths-based, forward-focused approach to help clients build emotional regulation skills, improve relationships, manage stress, and develop a stronger sense of self.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, you can expect a validating and welcoming environment where we begin exploring what brought you to therapy. We will talk about any previous therapy experiences, what felt helpful and what didn’t and start identifying goals so we can create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
With fourteen years of experience in the human services field, I bring a broad range of knowledge and insight into working with diverse mental health concerns and treatment approaches. I strongly value the therapeutic relationship and believe healing happens within a space built on consistency, compassion, trust, and genuine connection.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with individuals who are looking for a supportive, nonjudgmental space to heal from past experiences, develop practical coping skills, and move forward with greater confidence and self-understanding. I also have advanced training in working with individuals with substance use disorders and am committed to supporting people at any stage of recovery. My goal is to help clients manage emotions, rebuild relationships, and create a life that feels meaningful and sustainable. I look forward to supporting you in this process and welcome you to take the next step when you feel ready.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Drawing from a foundation in DBT, I aim to empower clients to move beyond patterns of past trauma and interpersonal conflict towards a life that feels more manageable, balanced, and fulfilling. The four components to DBT include mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing focuses on a collaborative, person-centered approach to counseling that is designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation and commitment to change. This treatment method can be helpful for individuals who are struggling with substance use disorder or other patterns of behavior that may be counterproductive to your overall goals.
Strength-Based
A Strength-Based approach to therapy focuses on a person’s abilities, resources, resilience, and potential. It can explore previous successes and help identify what was beneficial or worked well in a past situation to help improve a current situation.
