Hi, I'm Lindsey!

​

I'm so glad you've found your way here. Reaching out takes courage and can be the first step towards meaningful growth.

 

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, and OCD. My clients are often high-achievers who look like they have it all together on the outside while quietly running on empty on the inside. As a recovering anxious perfectionist myself, I know how exhausting it can be. I also know that asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's one of the bravest things you can do.

 

I create a warm and welcoming space where you can tackle life's challenges. Whether you’re feeling swamped, having a hard time connecting with others, or just not feeling like your usual self, I'm here to support you.

​

I offer Telehealth services in Illinois, so you can explore your thoughts and feelings from the comfort of your own space.

​

Outside of the room, you may find me playing with my two dogs and toddler, reading a good book, baking, or helping my mom with a market. 

 

Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but it can help start your journey towards a more fulfilling life, I’d be honored to work alongside you. Reach out today, and let's get started on this transformative journey together!
