Lina (she/her) is an autistic and ADHD, queer, disabled, and bicultural individual living and working on the stolen lands of the səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam) Nations.  Intersectional inclusivity is an important part of Lina's practice and she aims to co-create with you a comfortable therapeutic space that prioritizes authenticity, empowerment, and curiousity.   Lina’s practice is focused on anti-oppressive and trauma-informed care for marginalized individuals including BIPOC, neurodivergent, 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, immigrants, and polyam communities. Her values best align with person-centred and humanistic approaches that build upon client strengths and inherent traits. As a certified yoga and movement teacher, Lina can also offer tools to help deepen the mind-body connection. She sees herself as a supportive co-collaborator alongside her clients on their healing journey.

Additionally, Lina has a strong dedication to supporting the neurodivergent community, as she has a first-hand understanding of the inaccessibility of the society we live in. She continually works to dismantle her own internalized ableism and address dominant narratives around disability. She aims to help neurodivergent clients identify and work with their individual needs surrounding sensory over/understimulation, social demands, executive functioning, emotional regulation, meltdowns, and shutdowns.

In her personal life, Lina enjoys gardening, playing with her 2 cats and 1 dog, doing yoga, running, and consuming any and all sci-fi media!  She looks forward to connecting with you.
