About me

Are you looking to improve your overall mental health? Do you struggle with anxiety or depression? Do you want to change the way that you view yourself or life itself? I give tools that can help you overcome the lies that you have been told about who you are and discover the truths about yourself. I am an LCMHCS and I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. My philosophy is that no adversity is a waste of your time if you learn from it, become stronger because of it, and help others through it. That is what I do.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is a "get-to-know-you" session. Not only will I learn about you I feel that it is important that you know who you are talking to.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have worked in many areas of mental health but I am very passionate about adolescents and women's issues. Whether you are dealing with a failed relationship, past family traumas, or just feel like you are not moving forward therapy is a wonderful place to begin your journey of healing.

I work with women's and men's issues, truamas, depression, anxiety, life changes, grief, and many other issues that are caused by past and present circumstances.

I found Lynn to be empathetic and relatable. She encouraged but also noted changes that must occur if I’m to make progress towards changing my behaviors that are inhibiting my ability to get well.
