Is life too hard? Are you overwhelmed with uncomfortable emotions: anxiety, depression, anger, or are you just plain numb or disengaged? Have you lost your joy and passion for life? I help adults understand and connect with themselves and those they value. I take a warm collaborative stance using a combination of relational, psychodynamic, and somatic approaches to help clients advance toward their emotional goals.

Everyone needs a space to be completely themselves without judgement or pretense. I work with individual adults, teens, partners, and families. Relationships come in all shapes and sizes; couples, families, and poly-constellations. In relationship counseling I partner with you, working from a place of empathy and personal responsibility, to work through conflict and/or aspects of your relationship you'd like to change and develop tools to improve overall satisfaction and contentment. You may be able to use your PPO out-of-network benefits with just a copay. Ask me how.

Lynch also provides treatment for adults suffering from anxiety, depression, social phobia, relational difficulties, and life transitions.
"Anyone with children knows that they are challenging as well as rewarding. It is when these challenges outweigh the loving relationship that children start to typically manifest symptoms. Due to internal and/or environmental stresses, children can become withdrawn, oppositional, easily overwhelmed, and scared. This in turn can compromise your child's present and future relationships, academic performance, self-esteem, and the parent-child relationship. When difficulties are addressed early, children gain a sense of mastery and safety lasting a lifetime."
Dr. Lynch has worked with young children in preschool, research, state/county, and clinical settings over the last ten years.

Everyone deserves a life full of confidence, connection, and fulfillment. However, most of us experience times when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. I support teens and adults by creating a safe space to explore who they are, look deeper into what they want out of life, identify patterns, help build resilience, and develop healthy ways of coping with life’s challenges. I also work collaboratively with parents to provide guidance and practical tools to empower families to create a positive, nurturing, and connected family environment.

I focus in Early Childhood Needs, Adoption/Adoptee Experiences, and Parent Support Needs. Children are not mini-adults, despite their best efforts to convince us otherwise! Children are ever-changing, efficiently growing into their next phase of development every-single-day. Imagine, tripling in size and skills in just a year! To make things more complicated, children learn, grow, and communicate through play. No wonder it can be hard to fully know how to help our children through life's surprises. Throw in curve balls like significant life experiences of adoption, divorce, or a pandemic, and we've got a puzzle!

Psychotherapy can increase the level of functioning for children and adults who struggle with ADHD.
I developed a skill building treatment to help you meet your goals by finding strengths, setting goals, chunking, boosting motivation, mood management and finding focus. These treatments include CBT, Emotion Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and 12 Step Facilitation. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship in addictions at the University of California, San Francisco. These six super skills help build executive functioning including attention, planning, emotional regulation, flexible thinking and impulsivity. These skills can help you improve focus, stay organized and reach your goals.
