Get to know me

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

In our first session together, you can expect a warm and supportive space where we begin getting to know each other. I'll take time to learn about you-your background, your current concerns, and what brings you to therapy. We'll also talk about your goals for therapy and whether you're looking for short-term support over 6-8 weeks or a longer-term therapeutic relationship. Most importantly, the first session is about building trust and developing a connection that feels safe and collaborative.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to listen with empathy while also challenging clients to grow. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) throughout my sessions, because I believe the way we think about ourselves directly impacts the choices we make. At the same time, I'm not limited to one therapeutic approach-I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques to meet each client's unique needs. I work hard to build trust and understanding, and I come to each session ready to engage, support, and hold clients accountable. Together, we'll confront unhealthy thoughts and behaviors while creating space for real, lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My name is Linda, and I'm a licensed mental health counselor with over ten years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I work best with clients who are ready to do the work of healing-those who are open to self-reflection, honest about their experiences, and motivated to grow. I offer a warm, safe space for exploration and support, and I incorporate homework assignments when appropriate to help deepen insight and support progress between sessions. My approach is both compassionate and practical, meeting clients where they are while encouraging meaningful transformation.
