As a little girl, I always wanted to help people. As I grew up, that desire became even stronger until I decided a career in mental health was the best way to fulfill that desire. That desire was further cemented when I became a Christian and saw how people were hurting. Throughout life's circumstances, I developed a passion for marriages and families although I do see clients on an individual basis. I view every client as unique and will treat each client as such. My personal belief is that counseling should be a safe and productive place to share, and I make every attempt to make every effort to make each client feel that way.

Let's work together to help you feel some relief and live the life you deserve. I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor with over 23 years experience working with young children, families, and college students. I have worked as an early childhood teacher, college advisor, and mentor to students, teachers, and parents. I have experience as a behavior specialist/mental health consultant, helping children navigate through a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges. I also work with adolescents and adults who experience anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, as well as other mental and emotional health concerns.

It's time to do something about how you are feeling. Never been to therapy before, or not sure that talking about your problems is right for you? Feeling stuck and knowing that you need to make a change? Change is possible and getting to the life you want is possible. Call or email to see if this is right for you. Or if your loved one is struggling with addiction and you are looking for ways to cope with this-- I can help you better cope and manage these relationships. The people who come see me are professionals, persons who didn't see themselves talking with a counselor, or maybe not even sure they have a problem.

The problems you're experiencing may seem overwhelming, but they can provide an opportunity for you to change your life for the better. Seeking out help is an important step toward dealing with the problems that have kept you from thinking, feeling, and relating to others the way you want. I enjoy helping individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing a variety of challenges. My two primary areas of focus and expertise are working with clients who are experiencing problems in their relationships, and those who are going through a transition in their life that is creating stress.

Therapy is a journey that is unique to each person. It can help you learn more about yourself, your relationships, and how you interact with the world. Lyndsay’s approach is integrative and tailored to fit client’s specific needs and goals. She has a strong belief in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and is dedicated to creating a safe, creative space in which clients can process and share with empathy and without judgement. She works to encourage and support clients in better understanding their story and breaking unhelpful thinking patterns. Lyndsay hopes that clients leave with tools to use in and out of session.

My ideal client is an individual that wants to find their optimal wellness. Individuals that come with issues regarding addiction and trauma I am particularly drawn to helping but I work with a broad range of issues, including but not limited to ADHD, generalized anxiety, Impulse control disorders, depression and mood concerns. My ideal client is open toward keeping the focus of treatment on what wellness could be for them, while perceiving problems and symptoms as just obstacles to overcome on the path toward what they really want. They understand that with a good road map we can go anywhere.

Welcome and congratulations on choosing to embark on a different journey!! I have spent 25 yrs getting to know people of all ages: 6 - 80 years young. I find my passion lies with ages 17 and older. There seems to be a common struggle with finding a sense of meaning and purpose, or the loss of such, while juggling the demands of school, career, relationships and society. The more we lose ourselves, along the way, the more we lose the ability to cope with challenges in a healthy way. I believe in walking along side individuals in the exploration of what is missing or maybe not yet found! Are you ready to get started?

Living in a world that constantly tells us it’s not okay to be who we truly are is hard, hurtful, and exhausting. I want to help you be more of you - not less. To help you be gentle with yourself, own your voice, take up space, and feel liberated to be your full, authentic, and dynamic self. If you’re tired of shrinking yourself or being shrunk by others, I want to support you as you embrace this process of expansion. My goal as a counselor is to help you accept yourself just as you are, have compassion for where you are right now, and commit to making changes that help you live a meaningful, values-driven life that works for you.

I’ve been in the mental health field for over 20 years and have been providing clinical care since 2011. I’ve worked with first responders crisis settings and provided services to first responders in a therapeutic environment. I work a lot with domestic violence, sexual trauma, and human trafficking. I pull from several modalities including CBT, trauma-focused CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, solutions focused, strength-based, and reality therapy. I like working with people who are motivated to improve their lives. Because I work with such a wide range of issues, I can be helpful and supportive in many different areas.

I have had the opportunity to assist people in obtaining their personal goals since 1994.

We all have learned to walk through this world with a certain degree of guardedness and protection. Through a safe and gradual process, I assist people in letting down the walls that we formed to protect us. I have found that when our masks start to come off, we can form more authentic and real connections with others. You can safely begin to open, become vulnerable, and get in touch with what you desire. Together, we discover how you can live in a more authentic way in your life. Freedom and happiness are attainable in this world!

I have experience in integrating spiritual awareness along with my counseling to help my clients work on and learn to cope and work through their issues. I am committed to providing quality mental health care through a holistic approach to people in need. I believe that all people deserve the opportunity to lead healthy, happy and productive lives.
