Meet Linda

I specialize in supporting individuals who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, cultural/ racial trauma, and relational issues. I have experience working with diverse individuals such as BIPOC, immigrants, and blended families. Life can be challenging to navigate at times. Therapy can be a healing process to discover your true self and can guide you through obstacles, and explore your passions. I provide a safe and welcoming therapeutic environment and can guide and empower you to find wellness and maintain life balance. I offer a client-centered, strengths-based approach to processing emotions and attachment experiences, as well as build coping skills (i.e., mindfulness, emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, etc.) while providing interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotional Freedom Technique, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

I provide a safe and welcoming therapeutic environment and can guide and empower you to find wellness and maintain life balance.
