Her academic appointments keep her abreast of current research in her areas of expertise. Her media experience includes seven years as the resident expert for ABC Family’s Living the Life television show and regular appearances on network television and radio. Her current assignment as a national news consultant allows her to comment on mental health issues in the news.

It is often said that being with Dr. Linda is like having coffee with a friend. She makes the complicated issues of relationships and mental health easy to understand and applicable to every day living. The ease she has with people, coupled with her clinical training and experience makes her a sought after speaker on college campuses, conferences and special events.  Whether she is doing a TV skit with Tim Conway or discussing teen violence with Queen Latifa, Dr. Linda will entertain, educate and integrate faith and mental health in every day living.

I am passionate about helping you live life to the fullest, to walk confidently in what God has called you to do, and to find healing and hope where needed.  What I offer is practical advice and commentary on everyday living. I believe we can only walk in wholeness when we pay attention to all parts of our being—body, soul and spirit. – Linda
