I have over 10 years of experience helping adults, children and seniors in crisis.
Do you ever feel a deep longing to live differently—to experience more fulfillment and connection—yet find yourself caught in the same painful patterns? Do you sometimes feel like you’re living in a body that has been shaped by trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, or chronic illness? In therapy, you will learn to experience strong emotions without losing your sense of self—and to allow space for others to do the same. You’ll develop the ability to respond thoughtfully rather than react in ways that fuel defensiveness, blame, isolation, or ongoing conflict.

Hi all, I am Linda, and I have a deep passion for helping folks grow to the heights they want to achieve. I have been a counselor for many years, and have spent a great deal of time helping those who have experienced trauma. I love working with people and have a special place in my heart for the Arts and Music. For many years I owned a woodcraft and ceramic business and continue to keep crafts close. I was a non-traditional student and received my bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology in 1996 from East Stroudsburg University and completed my Master's Degree in Social Work in 2020. I am currently licensed as an LCSW in PA and Mass

" Everyone has the Ability to Change for a Healthier Self...." Choosing the right counselor/therapist is the first step to building a trusting relationship. After considering the therapist’s credentials, education and experience, ask them about themselves. You are the consumer, ask questions. You can then get a feeling if they are a good fit for you. Ask about their availability and Fees. Does their schedule work with yours?

I find meaning in working with adults and couples who feel chronically anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or unsure of their direction in life. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware individuals who have spent years feeling misunderstood—by their families, partners, or even themselves.
I often support clients navigating neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD, AuDHD), attachment wounds and the long-term impact of emotionally immature or critical parents. Transitions such as college to adulthood, relationship changes, aging parents, grief and loss, and midlife reassessment are common themes in my work.

A dream client isn't someone who's perfectly put-together or problem-free. Instead, they bring a willingness to engage in the therapeutic process. They are open to exploring their thoughts and feelings, even the uncomfortable ones, and are curious about gaining self-awareness. They understand that therapy is a collaborative effort and are willing to actively participate, both in sessions and by reflecting on their experiences outside of therapy. While they may struggle and have setbacks, they are committed to the process of growth and are willing to be vulnerable. Ultimately, a dream client is someone who shows up authentically

I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania. I have over twenty-four years of experience as a therapist. My areas of expertise are addictions and couple's counseling.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
