About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in the
State of Florida. I earned my Masters Degree in Counseling from Nova
Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2000. I have 20
years of professional counseling with a wide range of clinical training.
I have been able to assist individuals, couples and/or families deal
with life stressors with a focus on the presenting diagnostic issues:
depression, anxiety, mood, domestic violence, child welfare, dependency,
delinquency, parent/child conflict and trauma issues to name a few. I've
worked as a Foster Care Worker, Child Protective Services Counselor
and Protective Investigator in the State of Florida. I have years of
experience working with the Court System, Educational System and other community providers.

My counseling style is Eclectic Therapy with a primary focus on Client
Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy models. I view myself
as eclectic because my intervention style is based on the assessment
process and what I see from an individualized standpoint is helping the
individual/couple/family achieve their specific needs and achieve success.

I am excited that you and/or your family have made a decision to
identify life issues/stressors and seek help for the concerns that
continue to be unresolved. This is truly tough love when we are able to
hang in there and provide therapeutic support for each other.

I look forward to the journal to success and being BETTER! :)

Written on Feb 17, 2025 after therapy with Linda for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching

I have been seeing Linda for a couple years now throughout my struggles with infertility and miscarriages. Whenever I start feeling overwhelmed I book with her and she gets me back on track. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone! She is very understanding and gives logical steps to get you to a better place.

Written on Jan 23, 2025 after therapy with Linda for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

Linda helped me through a decade of manipulation and hurt. Her approach was gentle but steadfast, her energy and enthusiasm helped me overcome my fear and insecurities. I left many sessions with a completely different perspective which opened my eyes and helped my confidence.
She is thoughtful, knowledgeable and kind.
