02 · In Linda's own words

What Linda says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

With over three decades of experience, I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in helping people navigate complex emotional landscapes, including addiction recovery, trauma healing, grief processing, and career transformations.

I understand that healing is a deeply personal journey, and I approach each client's experience with profound respect and empathy. My therapeutic approach honors individual spiritual and personal beliefs, offering a flexible and inclusive space for exploration and growth. Whether you're seeking faith-based guidance or a more secular approach, I'm committed to meeting you exactly where you are.

My expertise centers on helping clients work through difficult emotions like guilt and shame, and supporting meaningful processes of personal forgiveness and transformation. I specialize in creating supportive environments where individuals can develop resilient coping strategies and rediscover their inner strength during life's most challenging moments.

Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I provide compassionate, tailored support that empowers clients to move forward with greater understanding, hope, and self-compassion.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Linda practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Linda's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

  1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

    BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Linda at this point.

  2. Naming Linda specifically

    BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Linda is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Linda.

  3. If the caseload is full

    You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

  4. The first conversation

    A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

  5. If the fit is wrong

    Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Linda

Built from what Linda actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Linda's - Linda has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

  • “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

    Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

  • “With 37 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

    Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

  • “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

    On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Linda's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Linda. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
