As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Lindy’s heartbeat is to help others find healing and advocate for relational restoration. “I believe there is GREAT hope for our relational health when we are willing to do heart and hard work. I’ve seen the powerful freedom and restoration that can take place when we learn about trauma and attachment: concepts that most certainly touch each of our lives.”
