Greetings!
I am Lynn and am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional as well as certified in Telemental Health through the Telehealth Certification Institute. I have 10 years of experience working with people from 3 -90 years old. With such a wide age range, I have encountered a variety of issues from depression, anxiety , trauma, grief, relationship issues, ADHD, as well as coping with developmental disabilities, to name a few.
Whatever brings you here, I believe that with the right tools and roadmap, people can overcome obstacles to successful living and begin to live the life that brings them fulfillment. I believe that the therapeutic process is a collaborative effort built through an authentic and trusting relationship. That is what drives my style of warm honesty and compassionate regard for individual struggles while seeking the most effective strategies for you, as an individual. When appropriate, I do like to bring humor to the process. A good smile or laugh at ourselves can sometimes bring much healing.
People are my heart and lifework. I consider it an honor to partner with people in their pain and difficulties and see the process of successful internal resolutions come to life! I consider it a privilege to collaborate with others, helping to empower them to become their best!

Lynn is purely amazing. She is kind and humorous. She is intuitive. She is skilled. She is direct. She is patient. I have never met a counselor as powerful as she is in my life. I may never have found her, had it not been for Faithful Counseling.
Faithful Counseling is one of the best decisions I have ever made for my life and Lynn has been powerful in instigating lasting change. I look forward to every session with her! Thank God for Lynn & for Faithful Counseling!
PS: The app is really terrific, too!

Mrs. Smith has helped me tremendously through my situation this last mouth. She helps me think through it logically and also provides me with scripture for me to fully understand. She is respectful and understands my feelings. I could have asked for a better counselor to assist me through my current hardships.

Lynn has been wonderful in helping me through several life transitions. She is knowledgeable, understanding, and has a great sense of humor! She has helped me reframe and rethink my problems in each session, which has helped tremendously with dealing with situations as they arise outside of sessions. I have recommended her to several friends and look forward to our session each week.

Lynn is so passionate about what she does, it makes barriers fall and walls crumble. As a woman of color, you wonder if you'll get what you need from a therapist that's not of your ethnicity. Lynn is one of a kind, and I'm grateful to THE MOST HIGH for bringing her in to my life.
