Hello, I'm Linda, a licensed psychologist with a PhD, specializing in trauma and trauma-related disorders, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). My journey in psychology spans approximately 25 years, and throughout this time, I've had the privilege of helping many individuals navigate their way back to a fulfilling life.
During my graduate years, I immersed myself in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for the treatment of PTSD and now have the honor of training others in this effective approach. My professional path has taken me through the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I worked closely with both combat survivors and individuals affected by military sexual trauma. More recently, I've been part of an anxiety disorders unit, treating not only PTSD but also a variety of related issues such as dissociative disorders, social anxiety, panic disorders, and generalized anxiety disorder.
My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity for healing and growth. I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences and emotions. Together, we'll work on developing strategies and skills that empower you to overcome challenges and enhance your well-being.
I understand that seeking therapy can be a significant step, and I'm here to support you through this journey. Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of trauma, struggling with anxiety, or facing other mental health challenges, I'm committed to helping you find your path to recovery. Our sessions will be collaborative, tailored to your unique needs, and focused on achieving your personal goals.
Outside of my professional life, I continue to find joy in meeting new people and assisting them in getting their lives back on track. It's a privilege to be part of your journey towards healing, and I look forward to working with you.
If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help. Let's work together to reclaim your life and build a brighter future.
