About Lynn

Hello! My name is Lynn and I have 10 years of experience working with the adult population. I provide individual therapy and over the last 7 years I have had the opportunity to work with adults of varying ages, primarily women who have experienced abusive or toxic relationships, specifically narcissistic abuse. Our understanding of how relationships work originate from our family of origin. We learn attitudes and behaviors from our caregivers and many times these behaviors are toxic, dysfunctional or destructive. I can help with understanding the patterns in your relationships or behaviors that create strife or stress. I focus on mind, body and soul. I use integrative therapies to help you to identify unhealthy thoughts and behaviors and replace them with healthy ones to creating meaningful change and learn to successfully navigate the relationships and interactions with the people in your life. I approach all of life including therapy from a Christian worldview. I would be happy to integrate faith into the counseling process by request. My approaches to therapy primarily includes; Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) some Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Interpersonal therapy, Solution Focused therapy and recently I have been trained in basic EMDR therapy and FLASH. To learn more about EMDR, go to www.EMDRIA.org. I believe that you are the expert about you. My job is to partner with you and walk along with you through your journey of healing.

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I grew up with a mom who struggled with mental health issues. At that time, seeing a therapist was not common but my mom was determined to understand what was going on and how to cope better. I watched her go to therapy on a regular basis and talk to her family about what she was experiencing. My mother essentially removed the stigma of mental health in our family, normalizing the struggles and reaching out for help and talking about it. My mom is one of the bravest people I have ever known. Her mental health journey played a very significant part in my decision to pursue a career as a therapist. When I was finishing up my bachelors degree in business and marketing, I felt that God was definitely guiding me towards counseling and away from business. I believe that He placed a special gift and love of counseling in my heart. I know it is my calling in life and I love to help and walk with people on their own mental health journey to wellness and healing.
