PHILOSOPHY

Sustainable trauma resilience begins within individual leaders and the employees they serve. A trauma-informed approach requires playing to intrinsic aspects of individuals in order to influence a powerful trauma resilient culture.

SURVIVOR

As a survivor of domestic violence, sexual assault, divorce, and even homelessness, she recognizes how trauma erodes personal well-being.

CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION ACCOMPLISHMENTS

▪ As a former federal labor-management leader, I received the prestigious FNCS C.A.R.E.S. Award for Excellence in Cultural Transformation. The award was conferred for demonstrated leadership in facilitating and promoting partnership in cultural transformation.

▪ Within a 3-years, turned a historically adversarial and contentious labor-management culture into a thriving partnership of mutual respect, honest communication, and alliance.

▪ Negotiated the largest reorganization in agency history affecting over 100 employees and involving national field office closures.

▪ Won full-time telework option for employees, reduced disruption to work-life, and maintaining standard performance requirements for teleworkers.

▪ At the national level, reengineered processes, and procedures for compliance with federal labor laws and negotiated multiple national collective bargaining agreements.

Dr. Linda is a fellow survivor who is understanding, intuitive, and non-judgmental. That positions her to recognize when traumatic dissociation or dysregulation are the problem, as opposed to a lack of commitment to achieve your goals. Because she is trained in advanced clinical psychotherapy, she understands the psychology and cognitive dynamics that keep survivors from thriving after abuse and trauma.

PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM DR. LINDA

Everything I ever accomplished occurred in the middle of chaos. Stuffing trauma from domestic violence, sexual assault, and divorce nearly destroyed my life and career. After decades of abusive and toxic relationships, stifled professional growth, and financial devastation, I was forced to face how I'd avoided addressing the dysfunction that ruled my life.

MY MISSION

My mission is to take survivors of abuse and trauma from pain to purpose so that they take back their power, tap into the truth of who they are, and live their best lives now!
