I help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or weighed down by the past find steadier ground and feel more at peace in their lives. I know reaching out for therapy can feel hard, and I’m glad you’re here. Whether you’re facing a major life change, carrying old pain, or feeling stretched thin by everyday stress, you don’t have to sort through it alone. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re feeling and figure out what you need to feel more hopeful, grounded, and in control.

Since life has not given us the instruction manual, I am here to support you with an approach as individualized as you are. I have over three years of experience in clinical in-patient and outpatient settings as a social worker working with children, teens, and adults; a year of experience serving as an adjunct instructor at a university; and seventeen years working with the military community.

With the right help, I firmly believe anyone who is willing to put in some hard work can increase their self-knowledge, grow in the understanding of other perspectives, heal wounds, and cultivate meaningful relationships. I hope to truly get to know you and hear your story so that I can help you find fulfillment and growth in a very challenging world.

Hello! I'm Lina, a compassionate psychotherapist specializing in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and self-esteem. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely seen and understood. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and engaged, and I view therapy as a collaborative process built on curiosity rather than judgment. I value depth over quick fixes and strive to create a space where you can explore your inner life with honesty, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and make choices that feel more authentic.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist whose work is grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care. I completed advanced graduate training in clinical psychology, followed by supervised work in outpatient and higher-acuity settings, where I treated adults and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

In my practice, I primarily use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapies, integrating them in a way that’s tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. I pay close attention to cultural and contextual factors, and I use measurement-based care so we can see whether treatment is actually helping you over time.

Clients often describe me as understanding, direct, and collaborative: I’ll bring structure and clinical expertise while also respecting your pace and values. I work with individual adults (and in some cases teens) who are dealing with issues like chronic stress, perfectionism, identity and life transitions, grief, and the impact of past traumatic experiences.

My goal is to provide a space that is both validating and change-focused; somewhere you can be fully honest, feel understood, and also develop practical skills to live in a way that feels more aligned with who you want to be

I have been a therapist for over 25 years providing individual, couple, family, and group therapy.

The most valuable experience I enjoy seeing is the transformation of a person healing and growing to their desired outcome. I believe every person has the ability to achieve their highest potential.
