What We Do
How many times have you waited for the perfect sign to start something, to shift, change, or break away?
You're not alone. For many of us this happens at every decision point or crossroads.
The secret is, YOU are the sign. There is a reason why you are here. Going all in is scary, no doubt about it, and with the right supports and guidance, there is always a way through.
You can learn to feel confident in your intuition again.
Let's get started.
Grief and Loss
Complex grief is an Intense long lasting grief that does not simply ease over time. It can occur when the loss is ambiguous, sudden, violent, or for a person who has past trauma, depression, anxiety, or other pre-existing mental health adaptations. If you've wondered why a loss seems to feel more intense for you than to others, if you've been told it's time to get over it and you just can't, or if you struggled to finds spaces for support and healing, grief and loss work is for you.
For Adopted People
Adoption is trauma. To be adopted is a traumatic experience that lasts a lifetime. That doesn't mean adopted people cannot thrive, however, there are nuanced challenges that we have to traverse everyday that non-adopted people do not. We offer mentorship and ally supports to adopted people traveling to their homeland or who are working on cultural and intangible heritage reclamation.
Trauma Work
The impacts of trauma are far reaching, interfering with our identity and self-confidence, relationships, and overall wellbeing. Trauma comes in many form, but all unchecked trauma inevitably becomes debilitating. Creating safe collaborative spaces is essential to our healing, trauma work cannot be rushed. Even with trauma, we can feel empowered again, all it takes in this moment is the first step.
Therapeutic Groups
Looking to start a group, but need clinical guidance or a trained leader? We offer consulting services to help get your group off the ground and running, and clinical leadership or co-facilitation from an experienced licensed professional.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a focused treatment method that functions as a neurobiological tool to help locate, focus, process, and release experiences and symptoms that disrupt a person's wellbeing and healing. Brainspotting can also find and strengthen our naturally occurring resources and resiliency, and has been found useful in performance and creativty enhancement.
Clinical Supervision
Pre-licensed therapists are some of the most overloaded workers in mental health services, and need and deserve meaningful and healing supervision. We offer BBHT certified clinical supervision hours for LPC or LPCC in Minnesota, with a focus on accessible and culturally centered supervision for Asian, Black, Indigenous, POC and Queer providers

​
Hi, I'm Lynn and I've been working in mental health for over 20 years. I do healing work at my private practice, informed by my experience in mental health, social work, co-occurring addictions treatment, healthcare policy, and advocacy. I believe that community is essential for our wellbeing, so not only will we explore what make us who we are from the inside, we will also uncover how environments, relationships, jobs and professions, families and upbringing, spirituality, and trauma inform we are.
​
I specialize in grief and loss work, attachment, identity, and complex trauma, all with consideration of our cultural lenses, for adults and couples. In addition to mental health counseling, I provide mentorship, allyship, and support for people who have adoption trauma and are traveling to their homeland or working on cultural and intangible heritage reclamation.​ Click the button below to schedule your initial consultation.
