for women, femmes and thems who want more than traditional talk therapy
Welcome! I’m Lindsay and I’m so glad you’re here.
Any ending, beginning, change or transition can disrupt your sense of who you are in the world —
whether that be a divorce or separation, perimenopause/ menopause, a cancer diagnosis or surgery, a move or career change, a new relationship or empty-nester.
These life changes can stir up old wounds, past relational or sexual traumas and overwhelming emotions that leave you stuck looping in old, dissatisfying and painful behavior patterns — preventing you from feeling deeply satisfied in your next life chapter.
When moving through these major life initiation portals, we know that traditional talk therapy simply is not enough to heal your past wounds and relational traumas to create the loving boundaries, satisfied connection and deep satiation you dream of with yourself and others.
As a somatic psychotherapist, I believe your body — specifically your nervous system and your attachment system — knows the way through this heartbreak or life event.
Perhaps you’re going through a break-up or divorce — yet underneath you know there may be unresolved emotions like grief, anger, sadness or shame that’s making it hard to move on
Maybe you’re highly self-aware — and yet find yourself cycling through the same old behavior patterns that leave you feelings reactive, unfulfilled and dissatisfied
You’re surviving through a cancer or other major health diagnosis — yet your quality of life has been greatly diminished, leaving you feeling disconnected from your body and loved ones and longing to thrive again
You might be feeling numb and disconnected from yourself and others, relationally or sexually — and long to have fulfilling, connected relationships where you feel secure, relaxed and confident in yourself
Maybe you find yourself looping in people pleasing and doing what others want — and feel building resentment of not honoring your needs and feelings each time
Perhaps you’re struggling to hold healthy boundaries with others — and fear causing conflict or rocking the boat if you were to truly honor your needs and wishes
Maybe you’re feeling ready to work through your relational or sexual traumas — the pain of abandonment, rejection and loss from a betrayal, early childhood wounds or living in a culture that dismisses, objectifies and violates women’s bodies
You might be feeling dissatisfied and unfulfilled in your relationships, your romantic or sexual partner, your friends or loved ones — wishing you felt more connected, more supported and more seen for who you truly are
Ready to explore how our work together can guide you on the path to heal your past, thrive in your present and expand into your next life chapter of joyful and satisfying relationships with yourself and others?
