About Me

Meet Lindsay

I help people and organizations build resilience so they can thrive in the face of change. I’ve spent my career exploring human behavior, guiding individuals and teams to turn challenges into opportunities for growth, and helping people discover their own strength and potential.

I’m a Therapist, Professor at the University of Utah, Podcast Host of The Therapist Question Box, and owner of Rise with Purpose Therapy. I bring a collaborative, experiential, and results-focused approach to every engagement — whether it’s a workshop, keynote, or consultation — helping audiences and clients take actionable steps toward change.

My own journey has taught me that growth often comes through challenge. Losing my mom at 17 was a formative experience that deepened my empathy and fueled my passion for helping others navigate life’s transitions with resilience, insight, and courage.

My mission is to create a space for healing, understanding, and connection, helping people find more peace and joy in their lives. Life can be messy, but we don’t have to figure it out alone—I’m here to walk alongside you."

I love this work, and I love people. I believe in their inherent goodness and capacity for growth..

Outside of work, I’m happiest outdoors — skiing, behind a boat, or wandering mountain trails — and at home with my four kids and husband. I bring experience, energy, and heart to every audience, guiding people and organizations to adapt, grow, and thrive.

"Lindsay delivers her material in such a way that is real and relatable to her audience by vulnerably sharing personal life experiences, what she has taken away and learned from these experiences, and how we can all apply these same principles and lessons into our lives, no matter our circumstance. Lindsay is kind, funny, friendly and entertaining to listen to and has so much knowledge and wisdom to share."
"If you’re looking for a speaker who can genuinely connect with an audience and leave a lasting emotional impact, Lindsay is it. Her ability to be vulnerable, yet empowering, makes her message memorable and deeply moving. Her real world expertise leaves a deep impact. She doesn’t just speak—she uplifts, encourages, and reminds people of their own strength."
"Lindsay is an amazing speaker! She spoke to our group of young women ages 11-17 on difficult topics in a sensitive and relatable way. The girls were responsive to her presentation and connected with her as they shared real, raw experiences. She was the highlight of our girl’s camp. I highly recommend Lindsay as a speaker."
"We had the privilege of hearing Lindsay speak recently and her presentation truly resonated with everyone in the room. She spoke about life being made up of chapters and not letting one hard chapter define the whole story. She brought a unique and deeply empathetic perspective that impacted our group."
"Lindsay was incredibly engaging and relatable. Her tone was warm and authentic, and it felt more like a heartfelt conversation than a formal speech. She connected with the audience in a way that made everyone feel she was speaking to them, not just at them. People left feeling uplifted and equipped with strategies to support their mental health and personal growth. Her insights were not only powerful, but also practical and easy to hold onto."
"The entire group left feeling seen, encouraged, and reminded that healing and growth are both possible, even through deep pain. Her story about her mother’s passing and her personal journey was shared with such honesty and strength, it created a safe space for others to reflect and share on their own struggles."
