I help people understand themselves better, make sense of their feelings, and learn from resentments and disappointments by using a heart-centered and holistic approach. Two of our most basic needs are to be connected and to feel loved. Without these, we feel a lack of purpose and isolated. When we feel alone, disconnected and insecure, we're filled with negative thoughts and feelings of guilt and shame.
Left unattended and unvalidated, these feelings take root, growing into resentments and increasingly unhealthy behaviors. If we lack positive feelings about ourselves it's difficult to trust, communicate and feel safe in the world. Often times family and friends find it difficult to actually hear your struggles and feelings.

I had the pleasure of obtaining supervision from Lynn my last semester before I received my license in alcohol and drug counseling.

Watching her work with her clients was also something I greatly benefited from as she encouraged the clients to explore their lives with thoughtful and gentle guidance. Working with Lynn molded me into the counselor I am today. If you need support and someone
