Hi, I'm Lindsey! So glad you are here!

A little about me...


  • I'm not allowed to a family function without bringing some kind of baked good


  • Thrill seeker-bungee jumping, skydiving, cliff jumping- why not?


  • I could beat you at Disney trivia all day long


  • I am known to eat no less than 4 Texas Roadhouse rolls...don't judge, you know you love them too


  • Will forever fight my husband for a cat even though he is allergic


You’re a high-achieving, overwhelmed human.

I’m going to keep this simple because life is crazy and you already have a lot going on.


Finding a new therapist feels exhausting at times. "What if she isn't the right fit?" "What if she doesn't help me?" "What if I have to tell my story to someone else that just doesn't get it?"


I understand all of these worries. And I'm here to tell you that I have a plan for you. Whether you are an overwhelmed parent, employee, sister, wife, friend, or child...we can find peace and stability together.


I am passionate about helping women and children realize their full potential and delight in who they truly are. I feel so honored to sit with women and parents, play with children, and help you all find the redemption and hope in your story. 

I've got you!

My Approach

I believe that finding a connection to yourself and others is the first step to finding joy and fulfillment. This belief directs how I interact with clients. I am gentle, kind, accepting, empathetic, and warm  as I know my interactions with clients provide the foundation of safety for the healing process. 


This is why I focus on being a safe haven for clients to come to when they need rest and comfort and a secure base to give clients the tools and confidence to take the next steps towards growth. I do this by attuning to each client’s emotions and needs and helping them find confidence  in being able to meet their own needs.
