More about Linda

  • 35 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Throughout my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood-related concerns, helping them build resilience and reconnect with their sense of self-worth.

My approach centers on creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore what matters most to you. I specialize in addressing trauma and its lasting effects, anxiety and panic, self-esteem, and the complex emotions that often accompany life transitions. I'm also experienced in supporting clients working through isolation, communication difficulties, attachment patterns, and questions about life purpose and meaning.

I believe deeply in meeting clients where they are—with genuine respect for your identity, values, and lived experience. Whether you're processing grief and shame, working toward forgiveness, or navigating relationship dynamics, I'm here to support your journey with compassion and honesty.

Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater self-compassion and clarity.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
