"Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature’s laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air."

Linsey’s therapeutic practice is grounded in a deep understanding of how culture, identity, and emotional well-being intersect. She believes healing begins by exploring and understanding oneself in relation to their community and cultural background.
Linsey takes an interactive and engaging approach to therapy, bringing warmth, humor, and lightness into each session, especially during moments of emotional difficulty and deep reflection. She believes therapy is most effective when there is a genuine connection between client and therapist, built on trust, authenticity, and shared intent. She encourages clients to bring their full selves into the process with honesty and courage.
Linsey has worked in community mental health for over seven years, supporting people through crisis situations and those struggling with thoughts of suicide. She has worked with BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and other marginalized groups facing challenges such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and trauma. Linsey also takes an affirming stance toward kink and polyamory, creating a supportive and respectful space for clients with diverse relationship and sexual identities.

Healing, according to Linsey, is a collaborative effort. The therapeutic space is one where both client and therapist work together, each contributing to the growth and understanding that occurs. Linsey is dedicated to helping clients confront their inner truths and unlock the love, belonging, and peace they deserve. |
