Linda has extensive experience supporting children and youth experiencing anxiety, social challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation.
I am passionate about working with parents who are navigating the challenges of parenthood, whether they are adjusting to life as a new parent, managing co-parenting or blended family dynamics, or feeling overwhelmed by their child’s behaviours and emotional needs.

My therapeutic counselling approach is integrative, combining evidence-based psychotherapeutic modalities (such as Person-Centered, CBT, and Narrative Therapy) with somatic and body-oriented interventions. Rooted in my advanced training in somatic yoga therapy, these body-based tools are applied therapeutically to address nervous system dysregulation, dissociation, and trauma stored in the body, always anchored by a strong relational therapeutic alliance.

I take a narrative approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that we are each experts in our own lives and that our identities are shaped by the stories we hold about ourselves, our relationships, and our experiences. Together, we'll explore the impact of challenges such as anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, emotional dysregulation, parenting challenges, neurodiversity (e.g., ADHD, ASD, ODD), behavioural concerns, family and relationship difficulties. I value the role of somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and connection with the natural world in supporting resilience, emotional wellbeing, and growth.

Pitt Meadows, BC V3Y
For many of us, we can feel stuck in our lives and reach a point where we just don't want to keep doing the same things over and over again. We may feel stuck in the ways we cope with everyday situations, or feel frustrated in our relationships, or angry or depressed about past hurts and losses. Counselling can help individuals and couples discover new ways of coping with emotional and mental health issues by helping you navigate the ups and downs of life.

You may feel deeply and value meaningful connections, yet find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns. You might overthink interactions, question your worth, or feel anxious in relationships even when you care deeply about others. Many people I work with are thoughtful, emotionally aware individuals who want to better understand themselves and the patterns shaping how they connect with others and themselves. They may have insight into their struggles but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their sense of self.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
