Linda assisted me through a difficult period of my life. I have learned to "move onto the next chapter," and so many other brilliant life lessons and I have an improved outlook on the future.

LInda got me through very difficult times. She helped me understand underlying issues and helped me trace my behaviors to buried traumas and programming- much, if not entirely, rooted in my upbringing. It's been illuminating. Above all, she provided simple tools for seemingly complex problems. Our sessions have left me optimistic and unafraid to challenge my assumptions.

Linda is EXCELLENT - one of the best therapists I have ever had. We had a good connection and she was able to help me a great deal. I love her. The ONLY downside is that she is very busy and sometimes a challenge to book.
I would recommend her highly as long as you have a flexible schedule.

Linda is very attentive and kind she created a safe space for me to truly share who I am and be open and vulnerable, by opening up she was really able to understand me and make me feel heard. She helped me reconnect with my intuition and trust myself again! Thank you Linda!
