About me

I provide more than talk therapy & integrate a clinical approach grounded in research on neuroscience and psychology. I have 21-plus years of post-licensure experience and a demonstrated history of providing comprehensive clinical expertise in addition to supervising and training other therapists as a clinical supervisor. My educational and career development opportunities were significantly enriched through clinical supervision with a psychiatrist, which provided invaluable insights into diagnostic frameworks, and effective treatment interventions. Additionally, my work alongside multidisciplinary clinical treatment teams at various psychiatric hospitals has enhanced my understanding of holistic mental health care, and deepened my skills in managing complex cases, contributing to patient assessments, and coordinating effective interventions across diverse treatment settings.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

An integral part of the therapeutic relationship involves honoring and respecting the strength and courage it takes to reach out for help. It should always be considered an honor and privilege when someone shares a part of themselves with us. You should expect to feel heard, understood, connected, and more hopeful about the possibilities that lay ahead for living your best life & functioning at your full capacity in your valued roles and relationships.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My clients experience the benefit of comprehensive clinical expertise & my commitment to the values of best practice, evidence-based practice, & excellence in standards of care. Evidenced-based neurobiological interventions promote emotional regulation, resilience, growth & the creation of new neural pathways that can last a lifetime.

Are you feeling hopeless, fearful, or locked in despair? My specialty areas include working with core beliefs of "not good enough" shame, rejection, deeply entrenched internalized judgment, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, & alcohol/substance use disorders.

Linda is a perfect fit as a counselor for what I am going through. I felt very comfortable discussing my situation and listening to her advice and looking forward to reviewing the articles she emailed me.

Linda is so warm and such an easy person to talk to. She listened with empathy and kindness but also provided me with so many tools I had not even thought of. Before my appointment I was feeling awful but after I feel hopeful for the first time in a very long time. I can't wait for my next appointment!
