New to Grow
Hi, I'm Lindsay. With 12 years of experience, I believe true healing begins when you feel genuinely seen. I am here to walk alongside you with a listening ear and a commitment to true collaboration. Through non-judgmental listening, we will navigate life's heavy seasons together, empowering you to rediscover your resilience. You do not have to carry it all alone.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Reaching out for support takes immense courage, and I want to honor that from the moment we meet. In our first session, my only expectation is for you to come exactly as you are. This isn't a cold clinical assessment; it is simply a safe space for us to connect as humans. We will move entirely at your pace. If you are ready to dive in, I am here with a listening ear. If you need time to just breathe and share slowly, that is perfectly okay, too. There is zero pressure to unpack your entire story on day one. I will gently guide our conversation to understand the weight of what you are carrying right now, and you are welcome to ask me anything. My deepest hope is that you leave our first hour feeling a profound sense of relief—knowing you are truly seen, heard without judgment, and no longer navigating your journey alone.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Over the past 12 years in the behavioral health field, I’ve learned that the best therapy doesn't feel clinical—it feels like a genuine, safe conversation. Because my background also includes teaching and mentoring future professionals, my biggest strength is taking complex concepts and breaking them down into practical tools you can actually use in your daily life. I leave the clinical jargon at the door. Instead, I focus on creating a space that is incredibly secure, ethical, and rooted in strict confidentiality, so you can fully exhale and trust the process. I won't just sit and nod while you talk; we will truly collaborate. I bring my deep understanding of human behavior, and you bring the expertise on your own life. Together, we will use proven methods like CBT to untangle whatever is keeping you stuck and build the resilience you need to confidently move forward.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are individuals and couples ready for meaningful change but feeling stuck, overwhelmed by their thoughts, or disconnected in their relationships. You might be navigating a heavy season, experiencing a shift in your faith, or finding that your usual ways of coping no longer work. Whether you are facing lingering anxiety, communication breakdowns, or a quiet sense of not being enough, you are welcome here. I am best positioned to serve clients who value a collaborative, non-judgmental space and want more than just a place to vent. If your goal is to gain practical, everyday tools, rebuild emotional intimacy, or align your choices with your core values, we will be a great fit. You do not need to have it all figured out before we begin; you just need a willingness to show up. Together, we will pave a clear, compassionate path forward
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Sometimes, the weight of our own thoughts makes it hard to see a way forward, and it’s completely okay to need a safe place to untangle them. My approach is rooted in genuine empathy and the deep belief that you already hold the capacity for healing. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we will work side-by-side to gently explore the thinking patterns that might be keeping you stuck. Rather than just focusing on clinical exercises, I am here to walk alongside you as we discover practical, everyday tools to bring peace, clarity, and confidence back into your life.
Interpersonal
Our connections with others are at the heart of our well-being, but sometimes relationships, life changes, or feelings of isolation can leave us feeling untethered. If you are carrying the weight of a difficult transition, a lingering conflict, or a sense of disconnection, you don't have to navigate it alone. Using Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), I offer a deeply empathetic, safe space to gently explore how your relationships impact your emotional world. Together, we will work collaboratively to heal past relational wounds, find clarity in how you communicate, and empower you to build the fulfilling, supportive connections you deserve.
Motivational Interviewing
Change is rarely a simple, straightforward path, and it is completely normal to feel torn between wanting to move forward and feeling anchored to familiar habits. Using Motivational Interviewing, I offer a true partnership built on deep respect for your autonomy and your unique timeline. Rather than directing you or telling you what to do, we will work together to gently untangle any hesitation, clarify your core values, and empower the inner motivation you need to create lasting change at a pace that feels safe for you.
Christian Counseling
When navigating life's heaviest struggles, your faith can be a powerful anchor, but it is also natural to experience seasons of profound questioning or spiritual weariness. In Christian counseling, we seamlessly weave evidence-based therapeutic tools together with the guiding principles of your faith. I provide a grace-filled, non-judgmental space where you can bring your whole self—doubts, pain, and all. Together, we will seek out healing, peace, and renewed hope in a way that deeply aligns with your foundational beliefs.
Couples Counseling
Every relationship goes through seasons of disconnect, where you might feel like you and your partner are speaking two different languages. In couples counseling, my role is not to take sides, but to provide a secure, compassionate space for both of you to be truly heard and understood. Together, we will gently unpack the cycles that lead to conflict, learn to communicate your deepest needs safely, and work collaboratively to rebuild the trust and emotional intimacy that brought you together in the first place
