Meet our Bay Area LEP
Linda brings the same evidence-based, culturally responsive approach that defines BridgEd Psych to families across the Bay Area. As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, she specializes in psychoeducational evaluations, ADHD and autism assessments, and school consultation — with a deep understanding of the Bay Area's diverse school systems and communities.
What sets Linda apart is that she doesn't just understand complex needs professionally — she lives it. As a parent of a medically complex child herself, Linda knows firsthand what it feels like to navigate systems that weren't designed with your family in mind, to advocate when no one seems to be listening, and to search for answers that actually help. That experience shapes everything about how she shows up for the families she serves.
Linda works in collaboration with Dr. Burciaga, ensuring every BridgEd Psych evaluation — wherever it takes place — meets the same high standard of care, thoroughness, and parent-friendly communication.
Fun fact: Linda and Ashley have been classmates, colleagues, and best friends since 2008.
