I have been a counselor for over 26 years. I work with clients from very diversified backgrounds, helping clients to identify their issues, helping them to determine what is leading to these issues, and determining the best steps to address such issues. We will take a look at how your past is potentially affecting your current day and further attempt to work through any issues from your past that are stopping you from getting to where you want to be in life. I provide a nurturing, supportive and motivating environment.

Therapy with me is conversational, compassionate, and grounded. We’ll take time to understand what you’ve been carrying, where patterns may be keeping you stuck, and what you need to feel steadier and more connected. Sometimes that includes learning tools to manage anxiety day-to-day, and other times it means slowing down enough to process deeper and sometimes uncomfortable experiences. There will be moments when I challenge you, but I am right beside you throughout the journey.

I am licensed as a social worker as well as an addiction specialist. My ideal client is struggling to understand how substance use and misuse is effecting their life.Maybe they are questioning their own use, or that of their partner, children, or they grew up with alcoholics in the household. I also love working with people with depression and anxiety who want to examine where they are at and where they might want to go. I love thinking outside the box and encouraging new ways of seeing the world and its possibilities.

I am a licensed therapist with over 17 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of settings, including schools, correctional facilities, in-home programs, inpatient care, community based mental health, wilderness therapy, and early childhood environments.

I specialize in working with women navigating life transitions, parenting, perinatal mental health, stress, trauma, and relationship challenges. As a mother of three, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience into the therapy space, especially when supporting parents through the complexities of caregiving, identity, and emotional wellbeing. My work integrates evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with holistic and experiential approaches, including nervous system regulation informed by polyvagal theory, yoga-based techniques, sand tray therapy, and nature-based mindfulness. My office is located on 10 acres of peaceful land, offering a unique opportunity for grounding and connection with nature as part of the healing process. Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, creative, and easy to talk to. I value authenticity, humor, and building a genuine therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe, understood, and supported. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Hi, I'm Lindsay. I have been working as a therapist for over 10 years, but when I take my therapist hat off, I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, an aunt, and a momma to fur babies. Needless to say, I am a major animal lover. I am also a proud Harry Potter adult. I love reading, last year I read 122 books, and my favorite genres are mystery/suspense and fantasy. I also love running, I’ve run five half marathons and would love to run a full marathon one day. My favorite thing in the world is taking my puppies, Nola and Frank, on puppy runs with me (she’s 9, he's 1). If I’m not working, reading, running, or playing with dogs, you will find me fully invested in true crime.

A Big Hello to you. You are scanning all these profiles. Looking for something to stand out to make you say,"I will go with this one." It is daunting but you have made it this far. Here is the tip. Your choice is not terminal. It is absolutely ok to try multiple therapists to see who gets you the best. Who understands you the best. After each session, you should feel lighter. You may not recall all that was said, but you will note how you feel. Did you feel heard? Understood? Did the therapist talk to me like they were reading a book or did it sound like they really got me? When you get the right one, those questions will be answered with a firm, Yes. ---->Part of individual therapy is talking about friends, partners and loved ones. My training and focus are centered only on heterosexual relationship dynamics. If you are looking for letters for work, ESA, Social Security, FMLA, Family Court, you will need a psychological evaluation by a forensic psychologist. I am not able to perform assessments, letters for claims or provide appearances in court.
