I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Colorado with over 20 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, career challenges, and life transitions. I have extensive experience helping people who have experienced trauma, including disasters (natural or human caused), suicide of a loved one, and/or physical, sexual, emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in judging anyone. My approach combines EMDR, cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, psychodynamic, dialectic-behavioral, solution-focused, and mindfulness counseling. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Lyn is an amazing counselor. She truly does her best to get to the root of any issue, and dives right in to effective ways to address them. I've never had a better counselor, honestly.
