Hi! I'm Lindsay. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been in the field of Social Work for the past ten years. I have worked in a multitude of settings. I have worked with children as young as 4-5 years of age to older adults in their 70s. I have been working in telehealth medicine since December of 2019. I had previously worked in community health. My main focus has been anxiety disorders, but I also work with those experiencing symptoms of depression, stress, family issues/concerns, and relationship problems.
I specialize in helping adults, parents, and families navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, family conflict, maternal mental health concerns, grief and loss, identity issues, and life transitions. As both a therapist and a mother of teenagers, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges that come with family life and the many roles we hold. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes that align with the life you want to create.
Grief is my specialty. I've lived it, not just studied it. I was a guardian and caregiver for my parent through Bipolar Disorder and Alzheimer's Disease, which means I understand what it's like to grieve someone who is still here, to navigate a complex medical system on someone else's behalf, and to carry your own needs while holding everyone else's.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience across mental health, child welfare, hospice, and hospital settings, and I hold a Doctorate in Health Sciences. I work with individuals facing grief at every stage: life cycle changes, chronic illness, and end-of-life. I'm also trained as an end-of-life doula and hold certifications in palliative and trauma-informed care.
I'm licensed in Indiana and Minnesota.

My experience ranges from working with teens and adults, supporting their navigation through various challenges such as healing from trauma, anxiety, and depression. My therapy style is focused on creating a warm environment that is also empowering for clients.
I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.

My background across military and medical settings has taught me that everyone’s journey is different. I’m committed to providing a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you can feel truly understood as you grow.
I believe therapy should be a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable being honest about what you are experiencing, while also feeling supported and challenged to grow. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, stress, and other challenges. I take a strengths-based approach and believe that you already possess many of the tools needed for change sometimes we just have to uncover them, strengthen them, and learn how to use them differently. I strive to make therapy relatable, meaningful, and practical so that what we discuss in session can make a difference in your everyday life.
As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe everyone deserves a kind space to feel better and grow stronger. Taking the step to reach out is brave, so I’m proud of you for being here!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Indianapolis
Searching for therapists in Indianapolis starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist feels like a practical fit. Indianapolis has therapists across neighborhoods like Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, Irvington, and downtown, with experience in concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training match what you want to focus on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
In a major metro area like Indianapolis, having many choices can make the search harder to narrow. Location may matter if you prefer in-person therapy near work, home, or a route you already take. Virtual therapy can be useful if your schedule shifts or you want more flexibility. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each profile before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and what to expect.
Therapy in Indianapolis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists on its platform, review availability, and book care directly. You can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage available in Indianapolis. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs before your first session, compare therapist bios, and book when you are ready.
