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 very kind and knowledgeable of my mental health concerns. She has been helping me come to terms with unrealized codependency with my spouse and has helped me cope with my partners depression. I felt helpless and she has helped me to find a more positive outlook along with helpful literature recommendations.

Linda has been an amazing source of help for me in one of the more difficult times in my life. I feel listened to when I need speak, and I feel supported when I am at a loss for how to grow. I cannot recommend Linda enough.

Linda is everything I need in a therapist and she's a great one at that!! We set clear goals together, she gives me space to work through things while also offering new perspectives, and she keeps me accountable far more than any other therapist I've worked with. I'm so happy I started working with her and I feel like I'm finally making major strides on my healing journey!! 1000% would recommend working with her!

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.
