Linda completed both her bachelor’s degree in Psychology and her Master of Arts (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Stephen F. Austin State University. As a counselor, Linda’s goal is to individualize treatment and meet clients where they are at.

Linda believes that the relationships she has with her client's is a professional relationship, but a very real relationship, nevertheless. She sees value in creating an honest, genuine relationship that fosters mutual respect and leaves room for therapeutic humor. Her hope is that creating a healthy and positive therapeutic relationship with clients will also empower them to enrich the relationships in their own lives. Linda understands that sharing and being vulnerable is not always easy and would be honored to have you trust her with things that are heavy on your heart.
