About Linda

In my practice, I specialize in working with couples using Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, also known as EFT. I was attracted to this approach because this model offers solid statistics on its effectiveness, it is based on well-proven theory and EFT also offers lasting results so that couples often continue to improve after counseling has ended.

I was drawn to EFT because there is no blame of either partner, the approach gets to the important needs each person desires in the relationship and the key communication patterns are changed from negative to effective, positive and loving. And, EFT incorporates many elements from Brief Therapy, which I have used extensively to help people find faster relief from problems and stressors.

I bring more than 15 years of experience working in the counseling field. My approach is one of acceptance, kindness and a gentle sense of humor. My background includes working as a clinical director or supervisor at three outpatient-counseling programs, as a therapist at two Valley psychiatric hospitals and as a therapist working with families and individuals.

My previous business background includes extensive experience in management coaching and facilitating teamwork development; therefore, I also bring to my work an understanding of the work-related pressures that can impact marriage and relationships.
