Introduction

About Lindsey I offer therapy for adults and couples, including intensive session format for EMDR or couples, EMDR consultations as a CIT, and clinical supervision. I use a blend of proven therapy methods to meet each person’s unique needs. My training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Ego State Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is my favorite—no matter how many times I use it, it still feels like magic. I believe in the strength and potential of every person. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where people can feel comfortable being themselves. I’m a casual therapist—often barefoot and cross-legged–I don’t have all the answers, but I’m here to help you figure them out. I’m also a bit of a nerd when it comes to research and reading, so I can combine the art and science of therapy to help clients grow and thrive. With optimism, humor, and kindness, I aim to build real connections and guide people on their healing journeys.
