Meet Linda

I work with individuals navigating challenges who are ready to explore, process, and heal while building resilience and self-confidence. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. Trust can take time, and as we build our relationship, you can expect me to challenge you with empathy and compassion, work at your pace, and help you forge a path that fits you. I practice active listening to reflect on your experiences and support you in having those hard conversations with yourself.

Interests

When I'm not providing therapy, I'm an active mom of one, a Pilates convert, and a lover of all things caffeinated—you’ll often see me with my emotional support Stanley water tumbler for balance. I need the sun on my face, and the language can get a little spicy.
