Meet Lindsey

(she/they)

I believe in offering an integrative and holistic approach to therapy which considers each person’s unique needs. I use techniques based in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational, Person-Centered, and Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) therapy. Because emotions and trauma are stored in the body, I integrate somatic or embodiment practices. I am trained in Brainspotting, a powerful trauma-processing modality that accesses the body’s innate ability to heal. Most importantly, though, I will work with you to find what works for you.

I have learned that a trusted therapeutic relationship can greatly enhance the healing process, and is often necessary for healing. One of my teachers, Mariya Javed-Payne, writes “Witnessing another is one of the most profound acts of kindness and healing possible. Somatic psychotherapy is the act of guiding a person stuck in necessary, yet sometimes unhelpful survival states into patterns of engagement and safety.” I would be honored to hold space for you to tell and reclaim your story, expand your self-awareness, identify and access community supports, practice unmasking, and unearth your inherent strengths and most authentic, integrated self.

I work with Virginia residents via a convenient, HIPAA-secure telehealth platform (aka Zoom). For those in Richmond, I also offer a limited number of in-person appointments at my private Lakeside office, or the nearby park perfect for nature-based “walk and talk” sessions.
