ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS/ACEPTANDO NUEVOS PACIENTES: Are you feeling like you are stuck in a rut or unsatisfied with the quality of your relationships? Are you trying to improve your relationship or rebuild from a break up? Perhaps you are having trouble adjusting to a much wanted or even unplanned/unexpected life change. I work collaboratively with you to reactivate your strengths, make healthy changes, and find your sense of improvement/satisfaction/adjustment.

I work with individuals and couples who might be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship or intimacy concerns, familial stressors, and life transitions. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, though my specialty is working with adults going through life changes. These life changes often include but are not limited to career shifts, relationship changes, motherhood and moving. I enjoy working on self-awareness, managing anxiety and depression, creating goals and making change, communication and relationships, boundary setting, and self-care. My hope is that clients gain self-awareness and feel empowered to make change.

Are you struggling with relationship issues? Do you feel distant from your partner? I help couples find peace in their relationship by fostering communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding the foundations of the union that are vital to the success of any relationship. Your goals for your relationship are my goals for your relationship. I work with clients from all backgrounds, including traditional and non-traditional relationships or unions. LGBTQIA-plus allied, as well as poly affirming.

Therapy can be a powerful tool for positive change no matter what's going on in your life. A calm, protected space to work through challenging relationship dynamics could provide just the relief you're needing. Maybe you and your partner are in a rut and feeling disconnected. I can give supportive tools and unbiased guidance to help strengthen connection, improve communication, and set healthy boundaries. You deserve to enhance the relationship you have with yourself and those you love most.

I use a nonjudgemental, strength-based approach to help people identify and change unwanted patterns and problems in their lives. Some people come to me because they want to better understand and change their relationship to alcohol and/or other drugs. Couples often reach out to me because of violations of trust such as infidelity and deceit from addiction. These problems are particularly challenging to face and talk about. Anger, sadness, shame, and resentments can get in the way, making it difficult to heal, grow, listen, and to love.

Are you feeling lost, isolated, or “stuck” in your circumstances? Are you feeling overwhelmed with your responsibilities or can’t seem to break out of old patterns? Is your quality of life not as fulfilling as it used to be, or as you would like it to be? My passion is in helping others explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, open, and nonjudgmental environment.

Making your first therapy appointment can be daunting. As a psychotherapist, I get that. It is my priority to make individuals, couples, and families feel understood, heard, and respected. Here's your opportunity to make a change in your life. ..............................Life has its challenges. My therapeutic approach is to help you navigate the process of overcoming difficulties within your life. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are apprehensive about starting treatment, are motivated for change, and are open to working outside of their comfort zone.

My approach to therapy is empathic, strength-based and interactive. I believe that a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship while empowering the client is imperative for change. I have been providing therapy since 2000 for adults, couples, and children. My main approach to therapy is to utilize cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) in order to process thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that contribute to distorted thinking and behavior, therefore affecting emotional well-being. The goal is to challenge and reframe so that the client achieves their personal goals, to cope with life transitions and obstacles, and improve mental health

Are you feeling burdened by the weight of your emotions? Do you feel support could be helpful and unsure of what your needs are? Maybe you feel hopeless, and are wondering how it will be possible to get through the hurdles. Different seasons in life may cause you to feel stuck and unsure of the next best step. My passion is to support you in owning your control as you take strides towards improving relationships, self-esteem, and increasing self awareness.

My areas of expertise focus around relational issues (with spouse/partner, parents or adult children), anxiety/depression, managing anger/emotions, young-adult development and life transitions (moves, school/career, divorce/separation, aging, etc.) Repeat arguments, miscommunications, lack of understanding, stonewalling/withdrawal, infidelity, difficulty navigating needs and expectations. Together we will identify patterns, stressors, and the role of beliefs, goals and emotions in motivating behavior. Life comes with problems, and success is rolling with the ups and downs. Come together or come alone.

Life is hard and sometimes asking for help is even harder. Beginning therapy can be nerve wrecking, but it can be a place to build yourself and the relationships around you. Everyone’s experiences and obstacles are different, which is why I prioritize a collaborative style that is adjustable to your needs. Creating an environment that is warm, empathetic, interactive and humorous is important in achieving a safe and non-judgemental space for my clients.

Do you feel stuck and anxious? Do you want to bring love and trust back into your relationship? Are you facing a difficult transition such as a break-up, parenthood, or a career challenge?

My clinical specialties include couple conflict and communication issues, transitions within relationships, difficulties with family of origin, parenting, depression and anxiety, and personal growth and fulfillment.

I specialize in aiding clients, from a holistic lens, as they work through anxiety, depression, trauma, imposter syndrome, work-life balance, marital issues, communication, and emotional regulation. I work to find both practical and insightful tools to handle an array of conflicts and stressors in our everyday life. I will help you navigate your patterns, utilize your strengths, and find meaning in the desired change you seek. In each session, you will be provided with a comfortable atmosphere where you can freely feel openness, honesty, and trust to convey what ails you and receive guidance and tools.

Therapy can seem daunting, though not quite as daunting as a lifetime of emotional discomfort. Lindsey’s approach to psychotherapy is warm and collaborative, empowering her clients to achieve happiness and an unbreakable inner well-being. Trust and confidentiality allow clients to speak freely from the depths of their mind and soul while feeling truly seen, accepted, and cared for even in their darkest moments. Through a compassionate therapeutic relationship, clients work with the therapist to discover the formation of their unique personality traits, beliefs, and patterns in relationships that contribute to present-day distress.

An integrative and holistic approach to change, healing, and future growth. Assessing your own being, needs, and internal control while promoting health in the mind-body-and soul.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you and your partner experiencing conflict that you can't seem to resolve? I can help you understand the underlying issues and needs that lead to withdrawal or anger, and work with you to re-establish strong bonds. Together we will identify the negative patterns that repeat, learn how to interrupt those and to instead create positive conflict resolution skills. I am passionate about the work I do as a therapist, and I respect each person's struggle and strengths.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping clients empower themselves and obtain a better quality of life. I offer an individualized approach to each client, utilizing strength and evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I believe that life circumstances are often out of our control, but we can learn tools to react effectively to such circumstances. I help to guide my clients in learning more productive thought and behavior patterns to 1) reach desired goals, 2) develop an improved understanding of themselves, and 3) ultimately bring about positive change in their lives.

My ideal client is someone who is feeling "stuck" within their lives and looking to break free of negative patterns of thinking, unhealthy habits, chronic feelings of low self-esteem or the "dead-ends" associated with unhappy, unfulfilling relationships. My clients understand that the power of psychotherapy is exactly its ability to heal and transform their lives. I serve clients dealing with anxiety, depression, anger management, child and adolescent issues, life transitions, domestic violence, sexual abuse, childhood trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief / bereavement, and relationship problems.

In our modern world, many of us recognize the need to take time to slow down and get in tune with ourselves and our relationships. I actively engage with clients in a reflective process to explore current life stressors, challenges, & behavioral patterns. A relational framework is utilized to help guide clients through an exploration of how current and past relationships influence their lives. Within the context of a safe and trusting therapeutic environment, I help clients to identify the steps needed to overcome challenges and promote positive change.
