Philosophy
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32
My goal is to provide clients with a safe space to practice vulnerability, so that they gain a sense of freedom by uncovering truths about their thought processes and circumstances. I hope to help clients live their lives to the fullest by focusing on the whole person.
Lindsey has counseled adolescents and families in both
in-patient and out-patient settings. She has led process and psycho-educational
therapy groups as well as developed and directed a therapy group for adolescent
girls who had been sexually exploited. Lindsey has led groups for mothers with
young children through her volunteer work with Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPs).
In her spare time, she teaches small groups for women's bible studies and for
her church youth group.
Lindsey loves playing tennis, taking her dog on walks, and spending
time with her husband and three children in her free time.
