The clients who come to see me are adults of all ages whose lives are diminished by depression or anxiety, whether lingering or overwhelming. Such feelings make it difficult to focus on tasks or leave the house. Some clients struggle with unsupportive family members or relationship partners; others cannot shake off the impact of trauma they suffered as children or adults. Often I see young people who want to be Independent Adults, but feel they’ve lost their way, cannot find stable relationships, or establish boundaries with parents or roommates. My older adults are coping with aging; but they desire social connection and purpose.

I believe in facilitating patients’ understanding of themselves while using a strength based approach. My approach to therapy is naturally warm and compassionate. And I believe that inclusivity, cultural competency and patient’s empowerment are integral aspects of psychotherapy. My experience is in treating depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder and personality disorders, grief, acculturation issues, life transitions and identity development. In addition, specialize in working with patients who identify as transgender, gender fluid and LGBTQIA community.

In my practice, I work with clients experiencing a range of concerns and who come to me from a broad spectrum of backgrounds and identities. My clients tend to be introspective, curious, and self-aware and are looking for tools to manage their emotional concerns and for pathways towards improving their quality of life. My clients want therapy that honors their full humanity and is solution- and present-focused. Clients who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community often seek therapists who share that identity; as a queer-identified therapist I am honored to serve my community.

I truly enjoy working with clients who are seeking understanding of themselves and wanting to create some change in their lives. I also understand that true intimacy is created from the client-patient relationship, therefore it is tantamount to find the right therapist that you (the patient) feels safe/comfortable enough to say anything that is needed in order to illicit insight/change. I ask that all my clients outline specific therapeutic goals so that together we be clear as to our purpose and stay the course of treatment. I am client-focused and open to feedback since treatment is made for the client.

Do you struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt, or low self-esteem? Do you find yourself avoiding social engagements or so preoccupied with excessive worrying? Finding ways to navigate these difficult feelings can help you get back on track. I use a psychodynamic approach and CBT that focuses on uncovering patterns of behavior and ways of relating to ourselves and others that are often outside of our awareness. I also consider how our past impacts who we are today. Through acceptance and empathy, we will establish a trusting therapeutic relationship and work together toward your personal growth and self-discovery.

Do you find yourself struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or relationship issues? Are obsessive compulsive behaviors creating a negative impact on your personal or professional life? Have you found it difficult to find purpose or direction? With a specialization in Spiritual and Depth Psychology I utilize evidenced-based interventions and protocols such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction techniques and coping skills to empower my clients to live their best possible lives.

Expecting, birthing, or parenting a baby brings the underlying "stuff" to the surface. You might be noticing tensed muscles, an aching head, an upset stomach, or racing thoughts about the most awful things that have happened or that possibly could happen. Maybe you feel exhausted and drained all day long but lie awake at night with your heart pounding, too anxious to fall asleep. Maybe you're yearning to bond with your little one but feeling like you're blocked by a wall. Too overwhelmed, too worried, too tangled up in the scary thoughts, and in too much pain to be present. But this chapter doesn't have to feel this way!

Seeking therapy takes courage and strength. Are you experiencing feeling stuck due to childhood trauma? I am here to provide you with unconditional support to process through your anxiety, depression, and other unresolved feelings at your pace. Sometimes we may need someone who is there for us and there are no problems in life that are too big or small. You have taken the first step to seek help, I can help you discover your inner strength to bounce back and deep inside you may be wishing for peace and equilibrium. As a therapist, I aim to help you reach those goals together to bring about inner peace.

For over thirteen years, I've been seeing clients (both individuals and couples) and my goal has always been to help them achieve meaningful change, whether in getting through a difficult current situation or wanting to break old patterns that keep them from living a more fulfilling life. Some challenges I've helped people overcome include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, feeling stuck in a rut, grief, hopelessness, self-esteem issues, and work-related stress. Exploring these issues with a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental therapist can really help.

The experiences and interactions we have throughout our lifetime can have an impact on our well-being, thoughts, emotions, relationships and decision making. As we begin to understand our thoughts, emotions and behaviors we may be able to face life challenges in more effective ways. At times, attempting to understand ourselves without any support can feel confusing or exhausting. In therapy sessions I will provide you with support in a collaborative and safe space as you discuss past challenges or current stressors. Sessions are individually tailored to meet your therapy goals.

Dr. Flynn aims to foster supportive relationships and help clients develop skills to respond to the diverse stressors of their contexts, including the systemic impediments to wellness they face. Here, he utilizes multiple evidence-based models (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Interpersonal Process) while emphasizing empirically-supported relationship factors that undergird and enhance the psychotherapy process, as well as the intersections of mental health and systemic oppression/social justice.

When you find a therapist who understands who you are, can support you, and has extensive experience, therapy is an opportunity to grow and develop to your fullest potential.
