About me

After earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment, I began to work with clients who were recovering from opioid abuse and co-occurring disorders. This gave me the unique capacity to help clients not only with addiction, but also trauma, stress, depression, low self-confidence, guilt & shame, anger, and anxiety among many other issues. In addition to general counseling services, I am seasoned in working with process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, Internet, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions.

I have worked with many clients in the LGBTQIA community and value diversity for others and myself. I have the knowledge and skills to work with clients who struggle with sexual identity and help emotionally work through many issues that arise as a result of sexual trauma, grief or dysfunction. I also work with many clients who open and/or non-monogamous relationships. I believe that acceptance and empowerment is the foundation of this work.

I use my accumulated skills to help you identify what is holding you back and how your past helps you identify your strengths to achieve the life you want. I can use a variety of approaches to fit your needs.

Linda is a remarkably compassionate therapist. She really listens and engages with you in her sessions. She's excellent at knowing which questions to ask, and helping you to navigate whatever struggles you're facing. I have had no bad sessions with her.

Linda is wonderful and just what I was looking for in a therapist. She is kind, supportive, knowledgeable, understanding, helpful, and even funny. I enjoy my talks with her.

I’m so glad that I was matched with Linda! She is great to talk to and great at helping me figure things out. She is so kind and caring, that I not only feel better after talking to her, but just knowing that I can reach out to her also makes me feel better when stuff is happening.

Linda is a kind, understanding, compassionate therapist who also is willing to ask hard questions to uncover the underlying thoughts that are contributing to keeping you stuck. I returned to her after a year when I needed support and it felt very easy to reach out to her to re-engage.
