About My Practice

Why call it Balanced Approach, LLC?

 Successful therapeutic relationships thrive on flexibility rather than a rigid,one-size-fits-all approach. While various therapy methodologies claim to be the definitive solution, nearly all can be valuable when tailored to specific situations. I believe in customizing therapy to fit your unique circumstances and adapting as we progress toward your goals. My approach is balanced—I draw from a diverse toolkit of therapeutic techniques to find what resonates best with each client or couple. 



Individual Therapy

 At times, you simply need someone who listens attentively—a seasoned professional with years of experience and clinical expertise—to help you work through the challenges that are hindering your path to a fulfilling life.

Couples Therapy

 

 Conflict naturally arises in relationships, and how you handle it shapes your connection. Busy schedules or a wish to avoid conflict can cause couples to drift apart, feeling more like roommates than partners. I specialize in rekindling connections and restoring friendship, teaching effective conflict resolution, rebuilding trust, and enhancing intimacy in your relationship.

My Mission

 My mission is to provide compassionate therapy where genuine connections are swiftly forged. I am dedicated to understanding and supporting each client's unique journey with empathy and expertise, fostering a safe space for healing, growth, and lasting positive change. 


I want my office to feel warm and inviting so that everyone feels comfortable and welcome.

About Lynne


With over 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist and an additional 15 years providing community-based social services, I bring a wealth of professional knowledge and expertise to my practice. On a personal note, I am also a wife, mother, and grandmother, which gives me valuable practical experience and empathy. Throughout my career, I have trained in numerous treatment modalities, allowing me to tailor my approach to each client's unique needs. My therapy style is eclectic, strengths-based, and insight-oriented, all within an affirming, non-judgmental environment seasoned with warmth and humor. While I am experienced in addressing a wide range of issues, I have a particular interest in Life Transitions and Couples/Relationship Issues.
