Welcome! My name is Lina and I am a Registered Social Worker. Life is all about relationships; relationship with ourselves, our parents, our partners, children, friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc. Relationships often bring us joy, purpose and meaning in life but can also be the source of feelings of anger, sadness, grief, worry and disappointment. I am here to help support you with the various relationships in your life and to help you feel more happy and fulfilled.

Are you feeling stuck? Many see therapy as an intimidating space with one-sided conversations and a professional who analyzes you from behind a clipboard saying the occasional "mhmm" or "how does that make you feel". I see therapy as a space where we meet as two flawed human beings and try to work at things together. I want to help you get unstuck from painful thoughts and feelings that are getting in your way and help you find meaning.

Do you spend a lot of time worrying, overthinking or dealing with overwhelming thoughts? Feeling powerless over your worry or anxiety is exhausting and can also impact your life in a negative way. You might be avoiding situations that make you worry or feel anxious, have a hard time sleeping, feel not good enough or do things in a certain way to keep the anxiety manageable in the moment. Worry does not have to run your life.

My therapeutic orientation is primarily cognitive behavioural. My approach to therapy is collaborative and supportive, with a focus on creating a safe environment for therapeutic change and combining client strengths with evidence-based treatment principles. Specifically, I specialize in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and mindfulness and acceptance-based treatment approaches (MBCT, ACT).

My career as a therapist started as a career in theatre and film due to my love of narrative and storytelling. Over time, I became more interested in how the stories we believe about ourselves shape how we live our lives. I use scientifically supported treatments like CBT to explore these stories and see how helpful or not they are. Of course, we often already know that something isn't working, but it can be hard to believe anything different. To that end, our sessions usually include seeking out new experiences to develop new perspectives. My clients tell me they're surprised by how much more they can do than they first thought.

I am intrigued by the way that humans are wired to connect with others. In my practice, I strive to build a meaningful connection between us in a gentle and caring way. Similarly, I aim to assist you in building authentic connections with important people in your life. I will help you to explore your strengths and resilience while assisting with the goals that brought you to therapy. I value diversity and the strength that it brings to the development of authentic relationships. I operate from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework that is LGBTQ2IA+ affirming.

Have you or a loved one struggled with OCD for a long time? Has the OCD either worsened or continued to significantly interfere with functioning in daily life? Being tormented by excessive thoughts that go against one’s personal values and attempting to stop, control or neutralize these thoughts with compulsive behaviours or mental rituals is the cycle of OCD. The good news is that breaking this cycle is possible. Common emotions that you are probably feeling are anxiety, distress, frustration, guilt, shame, depression, anger, and hopelessness. Please understand that you are not alone as OCD affects 2% of the entire population.

Does anxiety run your life? Are you always ready and waiting for the other shoe to drop? You fear that you won’t be able to cope and worry that you’ll lose control of your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Maybe you feel stuck in the past, haunted by painful experiences; churning over the same thoughts and images again and again. Imagine moving out of survival mode; being excited about life and feeling motivated by joy and not fear. Imagine being able to put the past behind you, and living fully in the present. You don't have to struggle alone. With empathy and authenticity, I am honoured to join you on your healing journey!

Do you feel pressured to be perfect and live up to others high expectations? Do you feel angry, stuck, overwhelmed, or powerless? Do you consistently experience intrusive thoughts and engage in repetitive behaviours that affect your daily life? Are you trying to make sense of your feelings after a difficult transition, traumatic event, or painful loss, and seeking healthier ways of coping? I am here to support you.
