Life can be super stressful sometimes. Between work, family, relationships, climate change, and frustrating chats with customer support bots, it can feel like too much. I get it. If you're feeling burnt out, haunted by past relationships, uncertain about how to be there for your partner or yourself, then you're in the right place.

I'm Lindsay, a queer therapist, and I'm passionate about supporting folks in the LGBTQ+ community. Through personalized, trauma-informed therapy, we'll work together to find the clarity you need to heal from the past and make important decisions. 

For couples and partners, I'm here to help with improved communication skills, connection, and understanding. Together in sessions, I will help you practice skills for effective listening rooted in compassion, understanding, and connection - invaluable communication skills you can rely on. 

Finding a therapist can be tough, but finding a queer therapist who understands you shouldn't be. I'm here for you, so let's get started on your healing journey. Send me a message today.

Frequently Asked Questions for Couples Therapy


What should I expect during couples therapy?

You can expect to spend some time talking about your relationship, the sticking points and journey to where you are now in your relationship. You can expect to have discussions and be invited to reflect on historical experiences you find impacting your current relationship. You can expect to talk about emotions and feel them as well. You can expect I will be with you the whole step of the way.

Do we have to talk about emotions?

You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. There are probably really important reasons why you might like to skip the conversation about emotions. I get it! However, we know that change happens when we experience something at an emotional level. This work with emotions is my passion, and I use my extensive training and experience to support and guide you through the process. I will be there with you throughout the process, warmly inviting you to try something different. This process works. It really does. The things we practice in sessions will feel more doable and more natural outside of sessions. I invite you to give a try.

Will we always meet together or will we have individual meetings?

Most of our work will be together! It’s “couples” therapy after all. However, at the beginning, after we’ve met together for the first intake appointment, I will schedule a one-on-one meeting with each partner. These meetings are a great time to get to know you individually. You can expect me to ask some questions about your past experiences in relationships and about ways you relate with yourself as well as others. I will also ask questions and be curious about what you hope to get out of therapy.

There is something I haven't told my partner, will you keep it a secret if I tell you?

If you have a secret, something you’ve not shared with your partner, it may be helpful for me to know that. However, in general, I am not a secret keeper. If you share a secret with me, I’ll work with you to support you in sharing that with your partner.

Do you do premarital counseling?

Yes, I do! I love supporting couples preparing to getting married. What a beautiful time in the relationship to grow together and set a strong foundation for the relationship.

Can we do couples counseling if we’re not married?

Of course! I’m here to support relationships in their various beautiful forms. You get to define what your relationship is and deserve the support regardless of your paperwork status.

Are you trained to do couples counseling?

Yes, I am extensively trained in a model of therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the gold standard for relationship therapy. It is a therapy model developed for relationships, partnerships, and marriages. Even though I already have extensive experience and training supporting relationships, I am also committed to continually growing and building my expertise. Currently, I am completing EFT Core Skills training, an advanced level training in EFT and am in consultation working toward certification.

How do we start couples therapy?

To get started with couples counseling, send Lindsay a message to schedule your free initial consultation. Consultations can either be by phone or video, your choice! After you message Lindsay, you should expect to hear back from her within 1 to 2 business days with available dates and times for the consultation. You can expect the conversation to be about 20 to 30-minutes. Both you and your partner need to be a part of the call or video meeting in order to start the process together. During the initial consultation, you can expect Lindsay to ask a few "get to know you" questions like, "What brings y'all to therapy?" or invitations like, "Tell me a little bit about your relationship and what you hope to work on in therapy." Because this is an initial conversation, we will not be diving in deep or be able to hear all the details. This initial consultation will be a time for Lindsay to get to know you and your partner a bit, hearing about what feels stuck in your relationship, and for you to get to know Lindsay and ask her questions about what to expect in therapy. There is no better time than today to start fighting for your relationship. Message Lindsay today to get started!
