Hello! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida with a master’s degree from Liberty University and 12 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s relational and emotional challenges. I specialize in sibling conflict, family estrangement, relationships with adult children, empty-nest and retirement transitions, midlife identity shifts, anxiety in high-functioning women, caregiver stress, blended-family dynamics, grief, and boundary-setting. You love your family—but something isn’t working anymore. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can understand unhealthy patterns, communicate more effectively, establish healthier boundaries, and create more fulfilling relationships. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-based counseling that thoughtfully integrates Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process.
In our first session, we’ll start by getting to know one another and talking about the challenges that brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about your current concerns, important relationships, personal history, strengths, and what you hope to accomplish during our time together. You will never be expected to share more than you feel ready to discuss. Together, we’ll begin developing a personalized plan to help you move forward with greater understanding, confidence, and healthier connections.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and more than 12 years of experience helping people understand themselves, their relationships, and the challenges they face in a clearer way. My background as both a therapist and an educator allows me to explain complex patterns in practical, easy-to-understand language—not simply telling you what to do, but helping you understand why you feel and respond as you do. I combine evidence-based therapy with compassion, honest feedback, and resources you can use between sessions. For clients who desire it, I also thoughtfully incorporate Christian faith into the counseling process. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood while gaining the insight and tools needed to make meaningful, lasting changes.
I am dedicated to helping people grow and improve their lives—both within themselves and in their relationships. I enjoy working with individuals who are committed to personal development. My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, low self-worth, or a challenging life transition. They may recognize recurring patterns in their thoughts, emotions, or relationships but need support understanding where those patterns began and how to change them. I especially enjoy working with clients who are curious about themselves and willing to take an active role in therapy—even if they are unsure, discouraged, or afraid when they begin. Together, we will work toward greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, emotional healing, and practical changes that support a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Clients do not need to have everything figured out; they simply need a willingness to begin. For those who desire it, I also offer the option of thoughtfully integrating Christian faith and values into the therapeutic process.

I use attachment-based therapy to help clients understand how early relationships and significant life experiences may influence their current emotions, beliefs, relationship patterns, and responses to closeness, conflict, rejection, or abandonment. I provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore these patterns without judgment, strengthen emotional awareness, heal relational wounds, develop healthier boundaries, and practice more secure ways of connecting with themselves and others.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals in identifying and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. When we are working together, the goal is to help you learn how to reframe irrational or unhelpful thoughts, develop coping strategies, and adopt healthier ways of thinking and behaving. The benefits of CBT include gaining a deeper understanding of personal emotions, improving problem-solving skills, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and building lasting tools for managing stress and difficult situations. CBT is evidence-based and often leads to long-term improvements in mental well-being.
I offer Christian counseling for clients who want their faith meaningfully integrated into the therapeutic process. My approach is clinically grounded, spiritually sensitive, and tailored to each client’s preferences. I thoughtfully integrate Christian beliefs, Scripture, prayer when desired, and principles of spiritual formation with established evidence-based therapeutic methods. This may include exploring how faith experiences and beliefs influence identity, shame, forgiveness, and relationship patterns. I also help clients address spiritual wounds, church hurt, or religious trauma; distinguish between unhealthy guilt and constructive conviction; and develop discernment, healthy boundaries, and healthier relationships within a Christian worldview. Scripture may be incorporated in a psychologically informed and clinically appropriate way, and prayer may be included when requested by the client. I respect diverse expressions of the Christian faith and collaborate with each client to determine how much—or how little—spiritual integration would be helpful. My role is not to impose my beliefs but to help clients align their mental health goals with their faith and spiritual values. Christian counseling may benefit clients who want to address anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, or life transitions through both clinical and faith-based perspectives.
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients move from feeling stuck toward identifying practical, achievable changes. Together, we clarify what the client wants life or relationships to look like, explore times when the concern has been less intense, and identify strengths, resources, and strategies that are already helping. I may use scaling, coping, exception, and future-oriented questions to help clients recognize progress and determine their next manageable step. Although past experiences are explored when relevant, the primary focus is on the client’s preferred future and what can be done in the present to move toward it. This collaborative, strengths-based approach can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, anxiety, life transitions, boundary-setting, and other clearly defined goals.
As a former teacher, education naturally plays an important role in my therapeutic approach. I use psychoeducation to explain mental health concepts in clear, practical, and relatable ways so clients can better understand how their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and life experiences affect their well-being. Because people learn in different ways, I may recommend books, audiobooks, podcasts, videos, worksheets, assessments, and carefully selected social media resources. I want clients to have reliable resources they can use between sessions to explore topics more deeply, reflect on their own experiences, and continue developing self-awareness. My goal is to help clients understand not only what they are experiencing, but also why it may be happening and what they can do about it. This understanding can reduce shame, encourage personal growth, and equip clients with practical tools for creating meaningful, lasting change.

I took a lot of time to try to find a therapist with Christian values because that was the most important part to me. I am definitely pleased with Lynn in all aspects so far but especially this one.
