We all experience life differently and sometimes trying to figure out how to handle those experiences can be overwhelming. I am here for you, so you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to provide you with a warm, safe, and inviting environment where I can help you with processing any thoughts and feelings you may have about life challenges. I am a LISW-S and have over 20 years experience working with adults, children, teens, families, and groups. My primary areas of focus have been anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, behavioral issues, anger management, stress management and sexual abuse. In session, we will learn how our thoughts lead to our feelings and behaviors and how to use those thoughts to ensure better outcomes. I will give you the tools to help you better deal with life stressors while empowering you to do so.

Get to know me

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

The first session will be used for us to get to know each other and for me to learn more about you so I can assess your needs. We will work together to develop goals for treatment and to plan how to move forward as a partnership.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I enjoy working with Linda. She is very relatable and authentic which is something I sincerely appreciate. She’s good at leading me to examine myself so I can begin to understand why I am feeling what I feel. She prompts me to get out of my comfort zone in order to heal. She’s highly intelligent, and makes me feel very comfortable talking with her about anything. I feel I can be totally me without judgement.
