I'm an action oriented Clinical Psychologist who specializes in anxiety, stress, and trauma. I help people identify beliefs and behaviors that are interfering in their live and help them move towards their goals.
I work with clients who struggle with ADHD symptoms, self-esteem, anxiety challenges, OCD, and relationship concerns. I also work with clients struggling in a relationship, whether that is a romantic relationship or the relationship with the family you grew up with.
Lydia is SO freakin’ likeable. She has such a warm, nice, and uplifting energy. She also comes to this work with a lot of knowledge and expertise in treating mental illness. She’s kinda the total package.
I believe people have the inherent ability to connect to their best selves if given good tools, opportunities & have the motivation to do the work. I believe it's important to provide as many tools as possible for clients to use on their own. I am active & direct in therapy while also providing empathy & support. I love working with couples & families because the ripple effect of creating positive, healthy relationships is huge & can extend for generations.
I specialize in co-occurring disorders (mental health and chemical health) and trauma-informed practices. With previous work experience in a variety of settings, I currently serve a broad spectrum of adult individuals.
As a dedicated therapist, I have the privilege of working with diverse clients in an online setting. My approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based techniques. Whether supporting adults through life transitions, helping children improve their emotional regulation, or fostering stronger connections in couples, I am committed to facilitating growth and healing. Together, we navigate challenges, celebrate progress, and create a safe space for transformation.
I'm a psychologist with expertise in working with anxiety, depression, dissociation, and the full range of traumatic experiences and specialize in supporting clients who feel that therapy isn't for them. In working with me you can expect a high level of collaboration, dedication to your success, and lots of nerdy metaphors. I draw from interpersonal neurobiology, developmental psychology, and attachment theory to make evidence-based therapy models less generic and more useful for your specific situation.
Do you constantly feel like you're never good enough? Do you feel like you compare yourself to other people and think they're so much better looking or smarter than you? Do you feel like you have to wear a mask and pretend you're someone you're not just to get people to like you, not leave you, or reject you? If you said 'yes' to any or all of these questions, you've come to the right place. These are common signs of perfectionism and people-pleasing, my specialty! If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and put in the work to find and use your voice to share your opinions and needs, feel safe being vulnerable to deepen your emotional connections, and learn how to compassionately hold yourself accountable when you make a mistake, this CAN be your reality with the scientifically based tools you'll learn working with me as your guide. To learn more about working together, reach out by sending me a message through my profile on here. I'm excited to hear from you!
A good therapist's job is to hold up an accurate mirror. A good therapist helps you to become more aware of and access the skills and strengths you have, and is not afraid to point out the barriers to progress that you are experiencing.
