I specialize with those who have endured trauma, depression, anxiety-related issues, eating disorders and family conflicts. I provide treatment to adolescents, young adults, adults and families. I firmly believe a strong therapeutic relationship is key to a clients therapy success and so my treatment is collaborative with a goal to promote empowerment and strength-building.

Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

I have experience dealing with diverse populations.

Hello, I am Linda an LCSW who graduated from Columbia University in 1999. I Love what I do and consider myself a “people person” which makes my job so enjoyable. I have completed thousands of assessments and am goal oriented. Over the past 25 years I have worked with almost every population but do not consider myself a know-it-all, I still have room to grow.
