Her Story

Growing up with a parent navigating significant mental health challenges, Lynette often felt alone and unsure how to help. Years later, she spent five years as her father’s caregiver while finishing her doctorate, starting a new role, and building a family. Those experiences shaped her calling to walk alongside others through grief, caregiving, identity shifts, and change—helping people find balance, resilience, and hope.
