Parenting may be one of the most rewarding jobs we will ever have, but it is also one of the hardest. Sometimes the distance between what we have envisioned for our families, and what we experience daily, seems impossibly wide. You are not alone. There are families like yours facing similar challenges who have reached out for help and found support, hope, and relief.

Families come to Connected Beginnings for many reasons. They may have a child whose tantrums and resistance to transitions have become unbearable. They may be experiencing intense family stress such as divorce, loss, or a traumatic experience. Some families come to Connected Beginnings with diagnoses like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, or developmental delays. Others sense the difficulties their child faces are not typical, even if their challenges don't yet have a name.

Whatever unique challenges led you here today, I am happy you are here and look forward to connecting with you and your family.

About Lindsay

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in psychotherapy with young children and their families. I have worked with children and families for more than a decade. A registered Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator, a DIR Floortime Practitioner (DIR Basic), and a trainer for Strengthening Families, I also have extensive training in many other evidence-based models including Child-Parent Psychotherapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT.

My approach is play-based and child centered. I am also deeply committed to partnering with parents and caregivers to support my clients. Meaningful change in a child's behavior and well-being can only occur in the context of their most important family relationships.

I grew up in Raleigh, NC, pursued my undergraduate studies at Northwestern University, began graduate school at California State University-Los Angeles, and received my MSW from the University of Oklahoma. I live in Cary, NC with my husband and two sons.
