Finding a therapist who truly sees you and meets you where you are can make all the difference. I strive to create a space where you can show up as your authentic self—without judgment, without pretense. Whether you're navigating personal challenges or feeling the weight of societal pressures, you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we can explore your unique experiences, build coping strategies, and work toward a sense of healing and empowerment.

I provide a very straight-forward and direct solution focused approach for addressing barriers of life. I understand that sometimes we all can use a safe space to process situations that come along with being human in a sometimes less than humane world. I provide guidance through instructing the use of various breathing exercises, grounding, stabilization, and relaxation techniques to provide clients with tools for minimizing stress responses.

Throughout my career, I've found fulfillment in helping others discover their goals and potential. For the past 12 years, I've had the honor of working with servicemen in the military and their families, and I'm happy to now also serve the public beyond. My treatment approach addresses a variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, life transitions, trauma, PTSD, divorce, grief, anger management, OCD, and ADHD. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) that I use to reprocess trauma and treat OCD, self-worth, and anxiety. I see children and individuals age 8 through adult.

Hi! I'm Lindy. I offer telehealth sessions (only) and can meet with anyone in the state of Iowa. A misconception I have realized in therapy is that clients look for their therapist to "tell them what to do". I believe that YOU are the expert in your own life and I am more of a co-pilot. Those who have been clients in the past will smile when they hear, "I'm just in the passenger seat holding the map, we will go down any street you want, and we can turn around if that was a wrong turn", or "You're driving this bus!".

As a Middle Eastern therapist, I create a warm and welcoming space where you can be understood and supported on your unique journey of healing and growth. My approach to therapy is inclusive and collaborative.

I am also highly trained in treatment of personality disorders and am able to help in both individual and couples dynamics.

I am in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Midlands Choice, and Health Partners.
My goal as a therapist is to create a caring, supportive, and non-judgmental environment so a client can feel safe being themselves. I believe it is through this safety that the work to heal, learn, grow, and understand ourselves can happen. In order to gain contentment in life, breaking free from the patterns that have kept life in discontentment is key. I view therapy as a partnership between therapist and client so working together is essential to making lasting changes.
