INDIVIDUALS
I work with individuals wishing to explore how they show up in the world and within relationships. My clients gain self awareness and release beliefs, habits and unconscious patterns.
Using both IFS (Internal Family Systems) and Brainspotting, we processes deeper in the subconscious, beyond the words and stories you know by heart. This is in-the-moment work, allowing the body to release old experiences and brain to release old reflexes.
Using these tools, the brain begins to reorganize – meaning that you’ll be less reactive, more grounded and intentional.
It’s a little bit different, a little bit woo and incredibly effective.
SUPERVISION
Working with new therapists working toward licensure is an especially enjoyable part of my career. As a former licensing board member, I balance the legal and ethical exploration with client conceptualization.
Associates who enjoy working with me are rooted in systems theory, attachment and narrative therapy, who are deeply curious and are focused on health and growth. I am licensed to supervise in both Oregon and Arizona.
In addition to supervision for licensure, I provide discipline supervision for those sanctioned by OBLPCT on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to explore if we would be a good fit.
ABOUT LINDSAY
We play many roles in our daily lives and try to find harmony between work, self, family and relationships. I have learned self-reflection and gained an understanding of this delicate balance through my own personal and professional experiences.
Being a real person with a real partner and kids, I have found ways to make my relationships healthier and minimize the impact of traditional pitfalls and stressors.
It is most beneficial for a client to have a healthy, productive relationship with their therapist. It is equally important to me to have a healthy relationship with my clients. While I help you understand your current relationships and individual needs, I also believe that therapy can be a good way to be change your approach to interpersonal relationships. In our sessions, I check in on how you’re feeling. I often ask, “How is our approach working in your life? Are you satisfied with the work we are doing?”
My practice focuses on working with both individuals and couples who want to make changes in their lives. These changes typically involve overcoming established, often unhealthy, patterns in relationships, but we also focus on life transitions, parenting difficulties, communication issues, and specific interactions with friends, partners or family.
Together, we learn to recognize the impact on marriages or friendships and find ways to successfully reconnect.
