Meet Lincoln

I interweave the skills of mindfulness and teachings of Buddhist psychology to help clients manage anxiety, stress, and depression, increase self-esteem, refine communication, set boundaries, and navigate difficult relationship and family issues. I would describe my therapeutic approach as empathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental, embodied, and collaborative. I draw from a variety of models to meet clients where they are. I provide a humanistic, relational psychodynamic perspective that offers space to explore how past experiences shape present patterns of relating to others and the self. I have specialized training in trauma, couples, and sex therapy.

I would describe my therapeutic approach as empathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental, embodied, and collaborative.
