More about Lindsey
- 8 years' experience
- LMFT
The approach I offer is shaped by my professional trainings and personal experiences as well as over a decade of work developing specialties in anxiety, depression, body image, life transitions, burnout, and women's issues. My passion is working with individuals who yearn to discover and harness the power of their authentic selves. I help you explore and heal past wounds, allowing for deeper connection to yourself and others. My approach leans heavily on Interpersonal Neurobiology in order to tap into, regulate with, and respond to the wisdom of the body in a way that guides you toward fulfilled living.
