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.

Your anxiety is sucking the life out of you. Maybe you find yourself constantly doubting everything you say and do. You have this awful voice inside that tells you something is fundamentally wrong with you... that you’re not good enough, or smart enough, or worthy enough, despite how hard you try to shut it up. Your relationships feels superficial. You overthink and stay small, because feeling lonely at least feels less scary than being rejected. But you hate that feeling too...so the cycle continues. There's a nagging feeling like how you grew up has something to do with this.

Feeling overwhelmed? Life can bring on challenges that are difficult to work through without support. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I understand the complexities of intergenerational trauma. The weight of cultural and societal expectations can take a toll on one’s mental health. Family & religious pressure can also have a negative effect on our own identity and self-perception. I believe that no matter what our past has given us or what our future holds, we are capable of working through our life challenges. My goal as a therapist is to help clients embrace their authentic self and discover new paths of healing and growth.

If you are struggling with your emotional pain or feel like you can’t control your fearful, anxious thoughts — there is hope. Pain has a way of forcing us to confront our vulnerabilities and limitations. You may be dealing with doubt, anger, fear or confusion. Perhaps you can’t stop focusing on your weaknesses instead of your strengths. You are stuck doubting or criticizing yourself. Or maybe you belittle your emotions or experiences.

The path from growing up quietly queer in a small Midwestern town to living as an out lesbian in the 4th largest city in the country has informed my work within the LGBTQ+ community. I believe that knowledge is an integral part of building acceptance and pride in oneself and the community, and I am eager to continue working with people in all stages of the coming out process. Most recently, my focus has been on HIV prevention and treatment; I am passionate about working with clients who are at high risk for exposure, entering treatment, or working to maintain viral suppression.

Reaching out and asking for help is one of the hardest yet most vital parts of growth and self improvement in our lives. We all need help at some point - yes, even me! Therapy can not only help in dealing with the chaos life throws at us, but also help us learn how and when to ask for that help. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a safe environment to explore oneself and improve overall mental health. I'm also incredibly passionate about advocating for the expansion of mental health awareness through psychoeducation and increasing access to quality care.

Hi There! I know that the process of finding the right therapist can seem exhausting, and sometimes confusing- but I am here to help and ease some of that confusion as you step into the world of therapy. If you think about two needs that connect us all to each other- is that we want to know that we are heard, and that we matter. Regardless of our background or characteristics, the desire to feel heard and understood is universal. My goal as a therapist is to help meet these needs for you through our work together. I aim to meet you where you are at in your healing journey, and see you for who you are and your unique needs.

The world would have you believe that being superhuman is a pre-requisite to being a mom, wife, professional, a woman. While you try to do the best you can, are you often left feeling drained, anxious, self-conscious, irritable, or, at times, alone?

Fortunately, you are not alone, as this is a very common feeling women experience. It is painful, affects our confidence, and often leaves us lost, not knowing where to turn.

You believe the only person you can trust and depend on is you. You desire to be in deeper relationships but back away when people get too close. You long to have a social life, yet feel on guard and more focused on the numerous thoughts circling through your mind then the conversation with loved ones. Criticism and self-blame become all too common. Feeling trapped, fighting an internal battle of what to do, it’s almost easier to stay to yourself. Ultimately, you make it through the day but aren’t truly living.

You have it all. The job, the partner, the family. People are impressed with how you juggle it all, but you don’t like how you show up in each arena of your life. You never feel like you are fully there, fully yourself. You feel like you’re just “doing” things to keep up the facade of being a nice person. But it feels fake and unfulfilling. You are proud of what you have, but you aren’t proud of who you are being. Your life looks perfect from the outside, but on the inside, it feels off.
