Linda began her career as a psychotherapist after working as a special education teacher in  the public school system. Her early counseling experience was in the field of chemical  dependency; providing care in a hospital setting. It was here that Linda took an interest in the  impact of traumatic experiences on a person’s wellness. She began to specialize in treating  clients with histories of trauma, particularly within the family system. Linda took a special  interest in how traumatic experiences express themselves through the body and can lead to  psychological symptoms (especially anxiety.) As a therapist who takes a systems approach to  treatment, Linda is open to including loved ones in the treatment process and coordinating  with other providers. 

Linda has experience using a wide range of methods to meet clients where they are at.  Depending on clients’ goals and willingness, Linda is able to use both art and music as tools  for communication. Linda can also facilitate relaxation exercises and visualizations. She is  trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) to assist clients who are  struggling with traumatic memories.  

Linda graduated from Chapman College in Orange, CA with a Master’s degree in Counseling  Psychology. She has worked for a large medical group, in private practice, in a crisis center,  and as an interventionist in a Colorado high school, among other settings. 

Her specialties include: 

• Treatment of Traumatic Memories

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy
