I have worked with persons who have been victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health issues and homelessness, among others.
My therapy style is motivating and supportive, but direct, while using humor and optimism to develop an effective therapeutic rapport and bring about change.

This is my second review that I have written for Lindsey and I have only recently started my sessions with her. She is like the best friend you didn't know you could find when your life is upside down. Her ability to listen and help you make sense out of confusing emotions is a comfort during this tumultuous time in my life. I am dealing with a number of serious issues including domestic abuse, PTSD, depression and anxiety. I feel safe and respected with Lindsey. She is willing to work with you where you are at and yet is able to be more direct if you need or want that, too. Lindsey really cares about finding out what you need to move forward with your healing. I am looking forward to working more with Lindsey and so happy to have been matched with her!

Lindsey is very approachable and considerate. This is my first ever therapy experience and I appreciate her guidance when I don't really know how to approach my emotions and issues. Lindsey has given me tangible tools in the form of questionnaires, guidelines, etc. to help me process issues after our scheduled video chats have ended and does a great job of circling back on issues in follow up sessions. She is very no-nonsense when I am struggling to justify my behavior or concerns and wildly supportive when I take steps to address situations that are not serving me. I am so grateful to have her in my corner in this season of life as I explore new ways to grow and heal.
