Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist

Accepting New Clients

Hi, I’m Lindsay, a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s of Social Work from the University of Windsor. With over 13 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, youth, and adults, helping them navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, self-harm, burnout, and trauma.

Therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s not just for addressing major life crises. It’s an investment in yourself, a space to explore challenges, develop strategies, and grow in ways that feel meaningful to you. My approach is warm and empathetic, focusing on your strengths to help you move forward. 

Together, we’ll build on the skills you already have, making small, manageable changes that lead to meaningful progress. I believe that small victories deserve to be celebrated, as they are the foundation for lasting transformation!

My priority is to create a welcoming, safe space where we can build a strong therapeutic relationship. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, ensuring that therapy feels relevant and empowering. Throughout my career, I have developed a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences each person brings, including those of neurodivergent children, youth, and adults. I am especially skilled at creatively addressing challenges with executive function and helping clients find strategies that work for them.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing caregiver and workplace burnout. Whether you’re a caregiver feeling emotionally exhausted, a parent managing the demands of a high-support needs child, or a professional overwhelmed by work-related stress, I understand how burnout can impact your well-being, relationships, and sense of self. My approach focuses on recognizing burnout early, managing stress with self-compassion, and building sustainable coping strategies, including boundary-setting. Having lived through burnout myself, I can empathize with its challenges and am committed to helping others regain balance and purpose.

I am also passionate about supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and those who are new to exploring their identity. I strive to create a space that is welcoming, inclusive, and free of judgment, where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where both the therapist and client bring valuable knowledge to the table. While therapy requires effort, my goal is to support you in navigating difficult emotions, discovering new coping strategies, and achieving meaningful breakthroughs. Together, we will work toward creating lasting change and growth, empowering you to move forward with clarity and resilience.

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”
