Hi, I’m so happy you’re here! My name is Lindsay and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Grief Educator, recently published Author and I’ve dedicated my life to transforming our society's understanding of grief, loss, and pivotal change. My journey into grief counseling is deeply personal, shaped by my experiences of growing up with a mother who struggled with physical and mental illness, and the profound loss I experienced when she unexpectedly passed in 2011.

As the author of "A Lifetime with Death," I’ve courageously decided to share my story. I think it’s deeply valuable to hear personal stories that shed light on the complex nature of life-changing evolution, the many shapes of grief and the challenging perceptions of loss from a societal and cultural lens. With over 8 years of providing 1:1 and group counseling, I specialize in guiding clients through all forms of grief – both death-related and non-death-related as well as other moments of major life change.

Because change, loss, and evolution touch every corner of life, my approach is holistic and uniquely personalized to you. I help my clients understand their unique grief journey, explore their emotions and relationships, and develop tailored coping strategies. I’m passionate about grief education and therapy, believing that when we understand our own life experiences, we can more easily release the shame and judgment often associated with the many forms of loss and change.

At Evolving Through Grief Counseling Services, I create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and find a path forward. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that life after loss is possible, and while we may grieve for a lifetime, we don't have to suffer for a lifetime.

Whether you and/or a loved one are facing a significant loss, a major life transition, or struggling with ongoing grief, I’m committed to supporting my clients on their journey towards healing and growth. My unique combination of personal experience, professional expertise, and compassionate devotion to this work makes me a trusted guide through your next life evolution.
