The French philosopher-activist Simone Weil once wrote:
“Pain and suffering are a kind of currency passed from hand to hand until they reach someone who receives them but does not pass them on.”
These are the people who tend to seek out my services.
Psychotherapy is a second career for me, but I come to it with years of experience supporting individuals in chronic pain support groups, hospice, and foster care, residential, and occupational therapy settings.
Though I support adults experiencing a wide range of issues, I work most frequently with chronic pain and illness, dissociation and dissociative identities, grief and loss, and family-of-origin concerns. I believe the potential for deep healing, connection, and revitalization exists within this work.
Here are a few ways to work with me:
Individual therapy
Fifty-minute sessions are available to adults across NC, SC, and WA. Sessions take place at a weekly or biweekly cadence.
Relationship therapy
Fifty-minute sessions are available to couples, family members, and chosen family seeking to better understand themselves and one another.
Clinical consultations
Fifty-minute consultation sessions are available to clinicians new to working with chronic pain, DID, and/or relational psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Relational psychodynamic psychotherapy is a fit for many issues. I work with adults (18+) from all backgrounds.
Often, the folks I support are navigating several areas of focus, including but not limited to:
Areas of specialization:
Chronic pain and illness
Dissociation and dissociative identities
PTSD and CPTSD
Histories of maltreatment and abuse
Relationship challenges
Searches for meaning
Depression and grief
Loss and loneliness
Life transitions
Perfectionism, people pleasing, and negative core beliefs
Why work together?
Your time is valuable.
Should we work together, there will be no waiting 5-10 minutes for me to show up to the session; no wondering if I remember the details of your life week to week; and no hesitation on my part to go where you need to go and hear the full reality of what you have to share.
Psychotherapy with depth.
Trained in depth psychology, I am an ideal fit for anyone engaged in the process of self understanding, curious about life, and seeking to be known. You’ll find in me a warm, thoughtful, focused partner curious to better know you.
We move at your pace.
In a world that prizes efficiency and speed, I am proud to offer a space in which we can move at your pace. Identifying core issues and patterns and creatively changing takes time, but the positive effects reverberate far beyond our own lived experience, leading to a richer, more fulfilling engagement in the world at large.
About Lynn:
Welcome; I’m glad you’re here
Therapy helps us determine what is the matter in our life. It is a space in which we can explore the truth of our experience in the presence of an engaged, attuned companion. I find meaning in helping individuals explore who they are, where they might be stuck or struggling, and what they most want out of their life.
