“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself”.

— Rumi

Individual therapy

Working together, we will explore your past and how it is impacting your present. We will identify where the shame originated. Together we will start to make sense of your story and learn how to build more self compassion so you can live with more freedom.

I will use techniques from CBT, DBT and mindfulness to identify and process the feelings associated with anxiety and shame. We will practice strategies for moving through anxiety when it arises and takes over. I’m here to help you feel more grounded and reduce anxious thoughts and overwhelm. I can help you move out of the freeze and into more connection and presence.

couples therapy

I work with couples who feel stuck and are seeking support from a third party to help gain movement and provide hope. Couples often need help to learn better communication skills, to fight fairly, and improve connection and intimacy.

In couples therapy, I use the PACT model (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy).

I was trained in PACT level 1 and 2. I enjoy this therapy with couples because it is active and deals with things in the moment. I show up to each session present and open to what is happening between the couple. This is not a cookie cutter model and is flexible and works with each couple where they are.

Hi there, I’m Lindsay,

I work with an attachment lens to help people understand what is driving their behaviors and reactions. I work with people who want to become less reactive and have more insight into what is happening for them when they are struggling in relationships. I have worked with many people to heal from past relational wounds, toxic relationships, and narcissistic abuse. I also help people navigate current tricky relationships, especially with family members or even siblings. I do think my work with couples helps me be a better individual therapist and understanding the complexities of relationships.

FAQS

Individuals:

  • Most people can expect to be in therapy 6 months to a year. Some people decide to stay longer, but this is always an open discussion to evaluate your needs and individual goals for therapy.

  • I like to meet with people weekly for the first three months so we can form a relationship and get to know each other. The quality of the relationship is one of the most important aspects of therapy so it is important to develop a good foundation. After three months we can then check in and see if you would be ready to move to bi-weekly sessions.

  • I offer 50-minute sessions and 80-minute sessions for individuals. It can also be helpful to meet for a longer session if we aren't able to meet as frequently. Of course, all of this depends on what works for you and we will talk about a meeting plan in our first session and continue to review through out our sessions.

  • I don’t want anyone to feel ambivalent about their therapist. Therapy is an investment in yourself and well being. I will check in for our first few sessions if you feel comfortable talking with me, and if you feel we are starting to develop a rapport or comfort level that is working for you.

  • I am not a crisis facility and am not available at all times or after hours in the evening. If you are experiencing an emergency, please contact an emergency service provider or go to the nearest emergency room. Below is a list of helpful numbers to have on-hand.

Couples:

  • This is common, and it isn’t helpful to “drag someone into therapy” who may not be ready. I often suggest you start in individual therapy to clarify your own wants and needs in the relationship. Doing your own work can often impact the system and start to create some positive change.

  • I would estimate 6 -18 months for couples. It can take longer to start to get traction on some issues that have been stuck for awhile.

  • 50-, 75-, and 90-min sessions for couples.

    I recommend 75 minutes for couples sessions, since I want ensure there is time and space for both people to share equally.

  • When I become the couples therapist I exclusively stay in that role for the duration of our work together. Sometimes the work in couples therapy can be very stimulating and people often need their own additional support with individual therapy. I am happy to find great referrals for your own individual therapist, to support the hard work you are doing in couples therapy.

  • I recommend reading books or listening to podcasts. I encourage all of my clients to read “Wired for Love” by Dr. Stan Tatkin or his audio book “Your Brain on Love” available on Audible. Esther Perel has a wonderful podcast “Where Should We Begin?”.

  • Psychobiological is a fancy way to say it looks at our physical responses when are we getting activated and when we are shutting down. It teaches us to “learn how to deal with each other” by reading each other's body language and physical cues for distress.

    We learn to better understand and read your partner, not change them. PACT heavily focuses on our attachment, and what we each learned from our family of origin. We all learned “rules” regarding emotions and relationships from our families, and now we have to make it work with someone who grew up with a different set of rules and expectations.

Book a free consultation

Reaching out is the first brave step towards change. I want to make it as easy as possible.

A good way to start is a complimentary consultation over video. This is meant to be low-pressure, give us a chance to talk, put a face to a name, and hear about what you are looking for in a therapist. You won’t have to share anything you aren’t ready or comfortable to share yet, and you don’t have to have anything prepared in advance. We can talk and see if we may be a good fit to work together.
