Lindsay teams with clients to find creative and committed ways to kindle healing and design sustainable wellness. In sessions Lindsay likes to create a culture of groundedness, safety, humor, creativity, open-mindedness, insight-gathering, growth-seeking, practicality, and deep trustworthiness. Lindsay uses a variety of therapeutic techniques. For example, she may explore how one's family of origin impacts current relationship dynamics. Lindsay can utilize mind/body and art-based practices to heal past trauma, alleviate current anxiety and learn how to change nervous system responses. Maybe workbooks are used for clients who benefit from psychoeducation and practical tasks to improve coping skills or communication strategies. Lindsay highly values her training in anti-oppressive, inclusive and anti-racist approaches to therapy. Given the impact of systems on health, Lindsay will work with other providers in clients' lives and assist clients in navigating healthcare barriers while problem-solving how to strengthen a client's community and social health.
