Lina (she/her)
*Lina will be accepting new clients in September 2022
My name is Lina (she/her) and I am a neurodivergent, 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 my practice and I aim to co-create with you a comfortable therapeutic space that prioritizes authenticity, empowerment, and curiosity.
My practice is focused on anti-oppressive and trauma-informed care for marginalized individuals including, but not limited to, BIPOC, neurodivergent, 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, immigrants, and poly communities. My values best align with person-centred and humanistic approaches as I believe clients are the experts of their own life. It is my honour to take the role of a supportive co-collaborator alongside my clients on their healing journey.
As a certified yoga and movement teacher, I seek to integrate mindfulness and somatic techniques to deepen the mind-body connection. I believe understanding how we hold emotions and trauma in the body is an important part of the therapeutic process.
Additionally, I have a strong dedication to supporting the neurodivergent community, as I have a first-hand understanding of the inaccessibility of the society we live in. I continually work to dismantle my own internalized ableism and address dominant narratives around disability. I aim to help neurodivergent clients identify and work with their individual needs surrounding sensory overstimulation or understimulation, executive functioning, emotional regulation, meltdowns, and shutdowns.
In my personal life, I enjoy gardening, playing with my 2 cats and 1 dog, doing yoga, and consuming any and all sci-fi media! I look forward to connecting with you.
