Hi, I'm Lindsey!  I was born in the Midwest and was raised in a white, low-income, divorced, and then later, a blended family.  I hold the unique understanding of life as the a child of an alcoholic and I am a survivor of childhood trauma. While those early years were hard and indescribable in some ways, they also helped mold me into the sensitive, strong, and deeply compassionate human I am today.

​​

In my work as a client, I have explored the systemic experiences of being a woman in this culture and how it deeply impacts our beliefs, self-worth, and desires.  I have processed trauma and grief and challenged myself to break free of expectations and cultural norms, and to embody an authentic version of myself.  In my work as a therapist, I support clients to untangle the stories they have been told about themselves, heal old wounds from trauma, get to know themselves and their worth, and embrace who they were meant to be.  I have a genuine love for the work I do and a deep sense of purpose in helping folks recover from intimate partner violence, childhood sexual abuse, and anxiety and depression as a result of trauma.  I often use EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) in my sessions and work from a feminist, multi-cultural, trauma-informed lens.  Outside of my clinical practice, I am a fierce advocate for women and survivors of violence. 

​

In addition to working with clients, I also provide clinical supervision and consultation to Associate level therapists and other clinicians in the state of Oregon, as well as, managing the day-to-day needs of the practice.

In my personal life, I am a social being and spend lots of time in community with others.  I have a great love for reading, taking my dog on adventures, paddleboarding, river swims, and challenging my body in all sorts of athletic endeavors.
