Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I’m Lindsay, a queer-identified licensed clinical social worker, and I’m really glad you’re here. I work with individuals and couples who want a space to be real—no pressure to have it all figured out. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life transitions, identity exploration, stress, and anxiety. For couples, I focus on trust issues, parenting dynamics, and fertility-related stress. Together, we’ll work to understand patterns, improve communication, and build a stronger, more connected foundation.

Therapist

On the outside, you may be holding it all together. Inside, it may feel like a lot. You may be dealing with intense thoughts, emotions, or experiences from the past that still show up in the present. Sometimes you already know the skills or what you "should be doing," and the harder question is why your mind or body keeps reacting as though something from the past is still happening now. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. I also support LGBTQ+ individuals. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey that we take together.

Hi! I have been in the therapy field for over 18 years, working with individuals and families in both outpatient, group, and residential settings. After a few unsatisfying careers and emotional stagnation in relationships, I recognized I needed to do some significant work on myself. I pursued therapy for myself which led me to appreciate the capacity and curiosity to want to help others.
