Hi there, I'm Lindsey!

She has worked as a child development specialist in home and agency settings and currently spends much of her time working within a non-profit, clinical setting. Lyndsie is pursuing her doctoral degree in psychology, public policy, and law in order to support and advocate for children and families who have been involved in high conflict, custodial litigation disputes. Throughout her career, Lyndsie has worked diligently to develop and implement long-term, innovative, team-based projects. She has also collaborated with county-wide programs, school districts, and local agencies, served on multiple interdisciplinary teams, and supervised staff within the mental health field. Lyndsie has facilitated adult groups focusing on pregnancy, stillbirth, and infant loss for over 10 years within various clinic, county, and hospital settings. She also serves as an advocate for children on the Autism spectrum along with their families who may have difficulty navigating school-based, court-related, and mental health supports. Lyndsie's passions include offering parenting support, positive communication and values, supporting clients through feelings of grief and loss, and aiding parents and siblings of individuals with special needs in various capacities, among other psychosocial topics and education. Lyndsie's goal is to meet her clients where they are and work towards a compassionate, collaborative, and mutual understanding where forward progress meets health and overall well-being.
