Meet Tyn

I'm an old soul, good listener, and loud belly laugher. I'm a wife, a mother-to-be, a Texan, and a creative writer. When I'm not writing, you can probably find me sippin' something tasty or starting and not finishing a book.

Career lately

I have worked in the mental health field for the last decade. I am a trained trauma therapist and have worked alongside many lovely clients navigating the ups and downs of life, anxiety, complex trauma + ptsd. Early in my career as a therapist, I started writing to combat stigma about mental health and therapy and it revealed to me my love for writing. Lately, I spend the majority of my time putting my thoughts on paper and reclaiming the areas of my life I neglected earlier in my career. I own a small private practice but no longer accept new clients. I also work as a consultant to other therapists.

Readers like you. Bringing bright colors back into my life and home. I'm inspired by people who take really good care of their creativity and when folks create just as much space for their sadness as their joy. I'm inspired by the people who have the courage to get it wrong and who embrace imperfection with both hands.

Parts of you feel seen, understood, or cared for in bits of my work. I hope you find words that you want to keep in your pocket for later on.

What's inspiring me lately

By connecting with my work, I hope
