Hi! I’m Linda, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Registered Nurse. My medical background annd experience inform my approach to the physical and nervous system components of mental well-being. I integrate ketamine-assisted therapy with EMDR and somatic therapies to offer a comprehensive approach to addressing trauma symptoms, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Alongside individual therapy, I provide in-person ketamine-assisted therapy groups. Trauma, depression and anxiety are psychological AND physiological, and I am uniquely qualified to address both.

We are currently accepting new child patients for reduced fee therapy! I offering comprehensive psychological services to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in helping adult clients understand how past trauma continues to affect their functioning. With children and adolescents, I work with both clients and parents to help change behavior and cope with emotions such as anxiety and sadness.

Life inevitably brings us painful feelings, thoughts, and experiences that we often respond to by trying to suppress, run away from, avoid, or numb ourselves. This may result in struggles such as addiction, anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, etc., and may cause us to lash out at our loved ones or act in ways we do not feel good about. My clinical approach is inspired by the concept that we cannot always “get rid of” painful parts of our lives or the things outside our control, but what we can do is work to develop a different relationship with them so that they come to have less influence or power over us day to day.

I work primarily with adults who are having trouble negotiating difficult life stages. I treat both short-term, acute problems and more pervasive, long-standing problems. My years of training, first in CBT, and later in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches allow me to use both in my practice. The client and I decide on treatment approaches based on his or her strengths and preferences.

I chose to become a mental health professional because I myself have had many life experiences that have required me to pivot when things just weren't working.

Have you found yourself overwhelmed by the weight of past trauma either from childhood abuse, intergenerational trauma, or sexual assault & feeling stuck with the memories playing out in your head?

I work with adults & LGBTQIA folks just like you: ones that have it within them to thrive again after trauma & life challenges, but just need the support to tap into their strengths to get there or support gathering & sorting pieces of life to make sense of everything.
