About Lindsay
Hello, I’m Lindsay!
I grew up near the shores of Lake Michigan in a suburb of Chicago. My family spent summers on a serene lake in rural northwest Wisconsin. This midwest simplicity sparked a lifelong journey to inner peace and the pursuit of authentic well-being.
I have a BA in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Master’s in Art Therapy from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2017, I became a Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist, dedicating my practice to improving the mental health of children, adults, couples, and families.
In 2020, I went to live in Mexico where I explored alternative wellness such as Kundalini Yoga, Breathwork, Plant Medicines, Transpersonal Therapy and Mindset Coaching. My journey led me to combine these holistic practices with research-backed approaches — such as Positive Psychology, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, The Gottman Method & Polyvagal Theory. I integrate these diverse approaches, helping people overcome limiting beliefs, transform their habits, and build healthy relationships.
Working with Couples
I consider myself a “love futurist,” passionate about shaping the future of human connection in an evolving technological world and empowering my clients to create a life filled with genuine love and connection.
My approach to couples therapy is grounded in evidence-based practice that teaches couples how to communicate effectively and build a secure attachment based in trust and commitment. I’m passionate about helping couples navigate their journey at every stage of their relationship.
Premarital Counseling
Helping newly engaged couples build a strong foundation of trust, communication, and emotional intimacy—so they can walk into marriage feeling truly seen and supported.
You’re preparing for one of the most exciting chapters of your life. Amidst the celebration and planning, premarital counseling offers something quieter but deeply meaningful: space to pause, connect, and intentionally lay the groundwork for a strong and lasting marriage.
Premarital counseling isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about strengthening what’s already good. It’s about learning how to navigate life’s inevitable challenges together with empathy, curiosity, and confidence.
What We’ll Explore Together
In this supportive and guided space, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen your connection by exploring essential topics that often shape long-term relationship satisfaction:
Communication & Emotional Intimacy

Understand how you each respond to stress or disagreement—and how to navigate conflict in a way that strengthens, rather than erodes, your bond.Shared Values & Family Expectations
Clarify the beliefs, traditions, and family dynamics you each bring into the relationship.Money, Roles & Decision-Making
Discuss financial attitudes, division of responsibilities, and how you make decisions as a team.Sex & Intimacy

Align on life goals, parenting (if desired), career paths, and how you envision your shared future.
Why Premarital Counseling Matters
Marriage is a journey of growth, and every couple—no matter how in love—will face seasons of stress, change, and uncertainty. Premarital counseling gives you tools to navigate those seasons with resilience and care. It allows you to:
Strengthen your friendship and partnership
Create rituals for connection and repair
Identify and honor each other’s emotional needs
Build a marriage that feels like a safe and sacred space for both partners
It’s an intentional act of love—an investment not just in your wedding day, but in the life you’re building together.
Start Your Marriage with Intention
Whether you’re newly engaged or approaching your wedding date, premarital counseling can bring depth, clarity, and confidence to your relationship. You’ll walk away with new insights, practical tools, and a deeper sense of connection.
Let’s create a strong foundation—together.
Therapy for New Parents
Supporting your transition into parenthood with care, clarity, and compassion.
Becoming a parent is one of the most profound transitions in life. It brings love, joy, and meaning—but it can also bring exhaustion, identity shifts, relationship strain, and waves of uncertainty. Whether you’re navigating the early postpartum months, adjusting to new roles, or simply trying to stay grounded amidst the chaos, therapy can offer a steady, supportive space just for you.
This season of life can be tender and overwhelming. You don’t have to go through it alone.
Common Reasons New Parents Seek Therapy
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally depleted
Shifts in identity and sense of self
Navigating changes in your relationship or marriage
Managing postpartum depression or anxiety
Processing a difficult birth or fertility journey
Coping with the mental load and pressures of caregiving
Struggling with boundaries, guilt, or isolation
Whether you're a birthing parent, non-birthing partner, adoptive parent, or in a blended family system—your experience matters, and your story deserves to be heard with empathy and understanding.
What Therapy Can Offer New Parents
A safe space to slow down and check in with yourself
Tools for managing stress, emotional overwhelm, and intrusive thoughts
Support for rebuilding emotional connection and communication in your partnership
Validation and normalization of the challenges of early parenthood
A place to reflect on your values, expectations, and hopes for your family life
Parenting often asks you to care for everyone else. Therapy is a place where you get to be cared for, supported, and seen.
Because Caring for Yourself Is Caring for Your Family
Early parenthood doesn’t have to mean losing yourself. It’s possible to honor your own emotional needs while showing up for your child. Therapy can help you reconnect—with yourself, with your partner, and with the life you're working so hard to build.
If you’re feeling stretched thin, unsure, or just need a space to breathe—reach out. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
Couples Intensives
Deep breakthroughs. I help couples move through conflict, repair connection, and create real change. No dragging it out. Just intentional, focused healing.
Sometimes, weekly therapy just isn’t enough. When your relationship feels stuck, strained, or on the edge, a couples intensive offers the space, time, and guidance to truly turn things around.
This one-day (or multi-day) experience is designed for couples who need focused, uninterrupted support to address deep-rooted issues, break painful patterns, and rekindle emotional connection. Whether you're navigating a crisis, rebuilding trust, or simply feeling distant and disconnected, this intensive gives you the opportunity to slow down, be heard, and move forward—together.
With a blend of evidence-based approaches, compassionate insight, and a tailored structure, you’ll walk away with greater clarity, renewed hope, and practical tools for lasting change.
This isn’t about fixing everything in a day. It’s about creating a powerful shift that lays the foundation for healing and growth.
Discernment Counseling:
For couples at a crossroads, I provide a safe space to explore what’s next—bringing clarity, peace, and honest connection without recycling the patterns and pain.
Discernment counseling is a short-term, structured approach designed for couples who are uncertain about the future of their relationship—especially when one partner is leaning out and the other is leaning in. It’s not traditional couples therapy; instead, it provides a safe, non-judgmental space to slow down and reflect before making a life-altering decision about staying together or separating.
With the guidance of a trained counselor, each partner gets the chance to be heard, understood, and seen—both individually and together. The goal isn’t to fix the relationship right away, but to gain clarity, honesty, and confidence about what the next step should be. Whether couples ultimately choose to pursue therapy to rebuild or decide to part ways, discernment counseling helps them do so with compassion, respect, and a deeper understanding of how they got to this point.
Divorce & Co-parenting
I help individuals and couples navigate divorce and co-parenting with clarity, respect, and emotional steadiness—so you can protect your peace and prioritize your children, even in the midst of big transitions.
Divorce can be one of life’s most difficult crossroads—but it doesn’t have to be defined by conflict or emotional chaos. Whether you're in the early stages of separation or navigating ongoing co-parenting challenges, therapy offers a safe space to process the changes, gain clarity, and move forward with intention.
These sessions are designed to help you manage the emotional impact of divorce while building healthier communication, boundaries, and cooperation—especially when children are involved. Together, we’ll focus on reducing tension, fostering mutual respect, and creating a co-parenting plan that truly supports your child’s emotional well-being.
This work isn’t just about ending a relationship—it’s about beginning a new chapter with grace, clarity, and stability for everyone involved.
