As a clinical social worker, Lindsay's approach is rooted in understanding her clients in the framework of their environment. The holistic view encompasses family, social, economic, physical, cultural and spiritual experiences. Lindsay strives to build an authentic connection with each of her clients and utilizes a "strength based approach" as a means to see opportunities and solutions rather than problems and emotional discomfort. Her style is warm and nurturing, though simultaneously open and direct. Your time together in sessions depends largely on who you are and what you need. Lindsay firmly believes that there is no "one size fits all" in the therapeutic process. Her aim is to engage with her clients of all ages in an interactive and collaborative effort to find sustainable change through growth and learning experiences. Her primary areas of clinical focus are children and families; parenting and child development; postpartum; life transitions; relationship issues; trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Post-Partum
When a child is born, so is a mother. Entering into motherhood comes with profound changes. You enter into a world of unknowns and uncharted territory. The transition is different for each woman. You are not alone if you are a woman who has found the transition to be overwhelming, stressful, and/or less satisfying than what you expected. The reality is many women struggle during the postpartum period, yet many do not share their experiences with others in fear of judgement. Lindsay can help you sort through the many thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe place as you begin your life as a new mom or a seasoned mother to additional children.
