Hi there, I'm Linda!

I understand reaching out can be daunting, especially when dealing with inner thoughts and struggles. I offer a safe and respectful space to begin your journey towards wellness. Please contact me for a brief discussion about your needs and goals.

My focus

I work with adults managing anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger management, bipolar disorder, PTSD, addiction, trauma, and self-esteem issues. Together, we will create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I utilize a client-centered, collaborative approach tailored to individual needs. My skills include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, and Harm Reduction Treatment. I am high energy, have a sense of humor, and am dedicated to helping you become a better version of yourself.
