About Lynne

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, specializing in Individual and Couples therapy. I am also a Board Certified Coach specializing in relationship issues and life transitions. 

I have over 20 years experience as a psychotherapist, and another 15 or so providing community-based social services. Although originally from AL, I have lived and worked in several states (AL, KY, IN, CA, NE and GA). I believe this gives me a more global perspective on issues that we all face from time to time. I am experienced in a broad range of issues, but am especially interested in Life Transitions and Couples/Relationship Issues.

My approach to therapy is based on client need, always with a strengths-based/insight-oriented perspective in an affirming, non-judgmental environment. I have completed the Level 3 Practicum Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and am now participating in Certification Consultation Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy which I use in my therapy work with couples. Some additional modalities I use are Mindfulness, Choice Theory & Reality Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). 

I am not accepting new clients at this time, but will be happy to put you on a waiting list. If you would like to discuss whether we would be a good fit to work together, please contact me.
