About Me
Therapist in Sacramento, CA
My name is Lindsay, and I have lived in California for my entire life.
I was born in San Francisco and grew up on the Peninsula. My parents still live in my childhood home!
I have a Master’s Degree in Child Development from the University of California at Davis (2007), and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from San Jose State University (2014).
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2017, and have had my own private practice since 2019.
Why I became a therapist:
I have always had a strong desire to help others, starting in childhood. Early on in my mental health career, in 2008, I was a home visitor providing Parent-Child Interaction Therapyto underserved families.
At that time, I was unsure about whether I’d want to continue pursuing a career in therapy.
Looking back, that was truly my greatest experience as a therapist, because I was out in the community making a difference, and contributed a great deal to my pursuit of becoming a licensed therapist.
One of the things I like most about being a therapist is getting to know different people from different backgrounds, walks of life, and family systems.

Why I became a therapist
I have always had a strong desire to help others, starting in childhood. Early on in my mental health career (2008) I was a home visitor providing Parent-Child Interaction Therapy to underserved families.
When I reflect back on that time, that was truly my greatest experience as a therapist, because I was out in the community making a difference, which contributed a great deal to my pursuit of becoming a licensed therapist.
One of the things I enjoy most about being a therapist is getting to know different people from different backgrounds, different seasons of life, and different ways of experiencing the world.
My approach to therapy
My general approach is pretty direct, but in a kind and compassionate way.
Most of my clients appreciate that our sessions are more like conversations, rather than something that feels very formal or scripted.
I aim to help my clients feel supported and validated, but also feel a sense of trust and belonging when they are in a session with me.
My general philosophy is to meet clients where they are and go from there in terms of how I can be the most helpful.
I work with children, teens, young adults, and parents using practical, evidence-based approaches. I focus on individual, family, and community-based strengths in order to create a foundation for lasting change.
I also have specialized experience in treating children with behavior problems, as well as individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, sexual identity, and trauma-related issues.
What I like to do for fun
In my spare time, I enjoy doing a lot of different things - going out to local restaurants, playing pool, going for walks, going to Tahoe, going to concerts, and spending time with my family and friends.

What I like to do for fun:
I was a rower for 10+ years (including 4 years as a Division 1 collegiate athlete), which I truly believe has contributed to the fact that I am still completely a morning person! 4:30 am wake-ups to get to practice are no joke! :)
All jokes aside, my life looks a lot different nowadays. I have two children who keep me on my toes! I truly love hanging out with them - except when they fight - then I love it less. ;) Kidding, kidding. I often get asked by my clients (who are parents) if my children fight or misbehave. They do, not to worry.
Sometimes my skills as a therapist don’t generalize to my own life apparently. :)
