Clinician
Lindsey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in treating issues pertaining to anxiety, depression, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships. She particularly enjoys working with individuals and couples who are seeking to better understand themselves within their relationships.
Working from a family systems perspective and often drawing from Attachment Theory, she is able to help people identify where they are “stuck,” and how they can shift their dynamics and strengthen their relationships. Lindsey is also a Child Mental Health Specialist and offers parent support for issues pertaining to parent/child bonding, behavioral modification, and psychoeducation on child development and age-appropriate parenting strategies. She most often utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy to support clients in reaching their goals. She offers a direct but warm approach, and aims to balance the emotional labor of therapy with an apt sense of humor and authenticity.
Lindsey grew up in South King County and has called both Federal Way and Maple Valley “home.” She has worked in child and family services, private practice, and as a counselor for members of the armed forces. In her free time she likes to read, “zen out” in nature, and do hot yoga. She most enjoys spending time with her husband, her two young children, and their tuxedo cat, Goose.
