Hi, I’m Lindy.

First and foremost, I’m a fellow traveler on this journey of life. My path has taken me between the vast blue skies & crisp Aspen groves of the Rockies to the deep gray waters & mossy forests of the Pacific Northwest. As an Enneagram 4, I feel and intuit the world deeply. I consider myself a “small batch” or “artisanal” counselor, as I engage with my work on a deep level- handcrafted I see my work as both a science and an art.

I've always been drawn to understanding people and studying psychology and sociology, with earning my master’s in Counseling at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology in 2015. My vocation has spanned from professional sports & entertainment to college campus student life & ministries, as well as hospice and respite care- supporting those navigating loss and bereavement. I’ve come to understand that life is full of both play and grief, and I’m comfortable with both.

Some of my deepest lessons have come through personal and relational reconciliation. My story holds both pain and healing, including the journey my spouse and I faced with three cancer diagnoses in just four years. Through that journey, I also went through fertility treatments & had the (unexpected) opportunity to become mother to a daughter in 2016. The story-laden scars from that season, both visible and unseen, lay gently upon me, serving as a reminder of the pain and healing that have shaped my story. I wear them with pride and gratitude, honoring the opportunity of life, today. Through the story of my life, I’ve learned that my deepest suffering and greatest purpose are intertwined.

Early in my therapy career, I worked on a college campus impacted by a tragic shooting. In responding to a community in trauma, I learned that there is some pain that we cannot fix, but that in our suffering, we don’t have to endure it alone. During that time, I realized that although life brings both beauty and tragedy, we must intentionally dismantle fear and consciously choose a lens of faith and hope. My theological & psychological studies expanded my understanding of how our healing happens within relationships and community, through acts of love. I believe that healing the wounds in our stories is a relational act of love, not just for ourselves but for the good of all. As I heal, you are invited to heal as well—our wellness is not individual but intrinsically interconnected.

These experiences have served as a lens of how I want to engage my “one wild and precious life” which makes me very intentional in my daily rhythms. The older I get, the more free I feel to be myself—and in turn, I invite you to bring more of your unfiltered self into our work together.

When I’m not in the therapy chair, you’ll find me exploring forests, scheming trips to the ocean, listening to podcasts, or spending time with my family & friends (both human and furry). I love slow walks, tending to plants, and occasionally challenging myself with a triathlon. I value both slowness and challenge. Oh, and I also have a deep love for whales, warm socks, and green jasmine tea.

Above all, I believe I am a lifelong learner, continually formed and grown by those around me, always in the process of becoming.
