She has over 20 years of experience in detox, inpatient and outpatient therapy programs, hospital/medical settings, long-term care facilities, and community mental health. Through these experiences, she has worked with many populations from various walks of life. Linda utilizes a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Gestalt Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Psycho-Education with individuals ages 18 and up. Her theory is individuals who have the motivation to improve and courage to seek growth through vulnerability and hard work can accomplish all the goals they desire. She views the counseling process as an alliance between client and therapist and considers the clients as the experts of their lives. Within the structure of the therapeutic relationship clients can access their inner strengths and promote change. She also realizes how important it is to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their well-being including their physical health, support systems (family, friends, etc.), work or school environment, and faith/spirituality in this process. Linda can help you begin the process to improve your emotional health no matter where you are in life. Linda's goal as a counselor is to provide a safe space where the client can explore their primary interests, develop goals and determine strengths and assets as the client progresses toward their aspirations. She is committed to empowering her clients with the tools, training, and knowledge they need to perform optimally day in and day out. Through the use of evidence-based strategies, she is able to help her clients with a variety of performance skills ranging from mindset and motivation to improving focus and concentration, handling performance errors, self image issues, developing confidence and mental fortitude.
