About Me

My name is Lindsey and I am a family-focused mental health counselor and registered play therapist with many years of experience working with children and families who are facing significant stress. I believe all families are unique and I strive to create a space where families can build upon their strengths and resilience while learning new skills.

Background

I am a certified children’s yoga teacher and often utilize playful yoga and mindfulness activities during sessions.

I currently provide supportive counseling services for families at Children’s National Health Systems, partnering with caretakers around a variety of issues including coping with postpartum depression and managing their child’s challenging behavior. 

I also previously worked as a family counselor for teenage parents in the DC area and have expertise in medical illness anxiety and medical complexity.

As a parent myself, I know of the incredible joys and challenges families experience. Together we can identify and practice unique strategies that work for your unique family.
