Certified Trauma Specialist | Certified Grief Counselor

Life’s challenges—from loss and unresolved trauma to anxiety and relationship strain—can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. True healing begins when we understand both where you are today and the deeper roots of how you got here.

My name is Linda. I believe that profound transformation begins when you understand where you are today and the roots of how you got here. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you process painful experiences, break unhealthy patterns, and regain balance in your life. My approach explores your personal history across generations, examining family systems to interrupt negative cycles and cultivate thriving connections. As a Certified Trauma Specialist and Certified Grief Counselor, I bring deep, specialized experience to every session.

True healing happens when we address the mind, body, and relationships together. I individualize our clinical work by integrating advanced, brain-body tools like EMDR and Brainspotting to safely process unresolved trauma and deep loss. When working with couples and families, I draw on Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method Couples Therapy to heal attachment injuries, interrupt painful generational cycles, and build secure relational bonds. To support your daily mindset and personal agency, I weave in practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and Choice Theory.
