I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma, abuse, coping with grief and loss, families dealing with dementia/alzheimers, addiction and the challenges of sobriety.

Linda maintains a highly professional environment during therapy sessions and continuously seeks new ways to better mental health and coping advice. She does respond in a very timely manner and only has a delay in response time occasionally due to focus on other clients which is completely fair and understandable. I have recommended BetterHelp to several close friends due to her ability to properly assess a clients state of mind and stay actively engaged in their healing process.

Linda has helped me in my personal growth tremendously. She has made me so comfortable with sharing and being vulnerable. One of the things I have really enjoyed in our sessions is how encouraging she is. I have been able to process my struggles in such a healthy way through her support. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of therapy.
