Hi, I’m Lindsey, a mental health therapist who helps adolescents and adults who feel stuck, scattered, or 'behind' in life reconnect with clarity and purpose. Even if you're unclear about why you are feeling lackluster about where you are at in life, you know you want to navigate life with a greater sense of agency and purpose. It is possible!

Purpose isn’t something you figure out by thinking harder, it unfolds when your body finally feels calm enough to listen.

Many people come to therapy struggling with some combination of anxiety, ADHD traits, and a lived experience of trauma, and the truth is, these experiences often overlap. A chronically activated nervous system can make it hard to follow through on actions, or even know what actions to take. I take a gentle, non-pathologizing approach to this overlap: instead of assuming something is “wrong” with you, we explore how your brain and body are responding to stress, unmet needs, or external pressures/conditioning. Together, we identify practical strategies to support your attention and nervous system so daily life feels more manageable and purposeful.

For clients who may benefit, I also offer neurofeedback as a supplemental modality within counseling to help strengthen attention and support the brain’s natural capacity for regulation.

Taking goal-oriented action both in and out of sessions is an essential part of the therapeutic process; not just knowing what you want to do but how to do it! And that's one of my biggest areas of strength: helping you make a plan to align your actions with your truest version of self.
