In a world that often demands our relentless pursuit of success, it's all too easy to lose sight of our own well-being in the process. Hi! I’m Lyndsei, and I specialize in supporting high-functioning, professional Black Women, who find themselves grappling with the weight of chronic stress, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and the unique challenges that come with being a trailblazer and the "strong friend." You're the one everyone turns to for support, yet your own cup often remains empty. Together, let's explore the root causes of feeling stuck and overwhelmed, and work towards reclaiming your peace, confidence, and alignment.
As a Black therapist, my approach is rooted in understanding, tailored specifically to your experiences as a POC navigating the complexities of caregiver fatigue, anxiety, depression and burnout within the context of your cultural identity. Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques, we'll partner to grow you from where you are to where you want to be.
If you're ready to shift from surviving to thriving, I invite you to take the first step towards reclaiming your mental and emotional well-being. Let's work together to realign your life with your values, reignite your passion, and rediscover the joy that comes from living authentically. Don't wait any longer to invest in yourself and your future.

My style is genuine & holistic. My therapeutic approach combines Internal Family Systems with strategic elements of DBT, CBT, and narrative therapy—customized to your unique psychological landscape. I'm also a great fit for folks who can't quite pinpoint an issue or cause of distress but they know "something isn't right."
