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 the first therapist I have ever had and I couldn’t be more grateful. I love the advice she gives and her willingness to listen to what I have to say as well as how easy it is to schedule an appointment with her. When I signed up for BetterHelp I was a bit scared about what was to come because I never really thought therapy would help me and I didn’t know how doing therapy online would work, but now that I’ve been signed up for almost 2 months I’ve realized that just having someone to talk to and explain what I’m going through has truly been amazing. I always feel like I am annoying my friends when I try to talk to them, or I worry that they don’t want to have to deal with my problems, but therapy has relieved me of that feeling and I believe has made my friendships even stronger. My friends, family, and doctor recommended I started therapy and even though I felt I didn’t need it, I am so glad I did it! Linda being my first ever therapist has really set my standard high for any other therapist I encounter!

Linda, is a very admirable and magnificent therapist. You sometimes even forget that she is one that the way you converse is quite casual and the whole story gets out there instead of like a public talk where you filter out the dirty talk. I always look forward to my conversations with her and always prepared of what I want to talk with her about, because I get so zoned in that I go over our time limit. So that really shows that I enjoy being with her and time passes quite fast, that to be looking at the clock every 5 minutes to wait for the session to finish. It's more like looking at the clock every 5 minutes to make sure you still have enough time.
