psychologist | photographer | naturalist

I’m Lindsay—

Through thoughtful offerings— mentorship, photography, and writing, I merge psychology, art, and the rhythms of the natural world to help people slow down, live with presence, and reconnect with what matters.

Rooted in both science and human experience, my work is a quiet rebellion against urgency. I share observations from the field—small notes that honor the nervous system and evoke the awe of Shinrin-yoku.

I invite others to slow down, notice more, and reconnect with what’s real.

With that said, a friend mentioned that she and her fiancé were debating about whether to add a bench out front — part of a new landscaping plan.

Without thinking, I said, “Don’t put a chair where you don’t want people to sit.”

Sometimes, no intervention is required. Just observation. Just trust in the intelligence of cycles. Nothing in nature is always on. Why should we be? #35mmfilm #kodakfilm #livinginceremony #alignedrest #shinrinyoku #naturetherapy #forestbathing #
Most of us try to feel whole by adding pieces. But wholeness isn’t completion — it’s remembering who you were before all the stories. #livinginceremony #35mm #shinrinyoku #oceantherapy #forestbathing #naturebathing #nervoussystemhe
There’s a kind of freedom that arrives when you stop performing your life. When you remember who you are beneath the proving and the praise. Just being — and letting that be enough. The quiet return to yourself is its own ceremony. #li

You step into a spring and suddenly realize that a billion years of rainfall, limestone, and quiet geological patience had to align so that clear water could rise from the earth—right here, right now—and meet your skin. A fish drifts by.
