Psychotherapist
MD
Hi there, I'm Linda! I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. We'll work together as a team to make therapy meaningful to you. My focus I work with high school students, adults, and elderly clients managing anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals, we'll create a plan that feels empowering and achievable. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, giving you practical tools to use in daily life. Based on your needs, I may incorporate mindfulness and narrative therapy. Together, we'll identify challenges and develop strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My communication style I want to have open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to listen to you and be empathic. My journey to mental healthcare I've worked in diverse settings including the criminal justice system, emergency rooms, psychiatric care, foster care, and with elderly clients. What I enjoy most is supporting clients with mental health challenges and helping them find their path forward. My goals for you We'll work together to identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. Your goals may change as you gain new insights, and we can always adjust our plan. I'm here to provide the support and tools you need.
