Hi! I'm Linda...
I take a warm and practical approach to working with couples, parents, and individuals, to guide them to making better choices towards a happier future.
By focusing on emotions and solutions, I offer strategies that help you build greater self-awareness and confidence in your relationships. This way, you can develop a deeper connection with yourself and with others while staying true to your values.
When it comes to parents who are separating, I always keep the child’s best interests at the forefront. My goal is to guide parents toward making decisions that are thoughtful, respectful, and beneficial for the whole family.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your relationship, improve communication, or work through difficult situations, I’m here to support you every step of the way in creating positive, lasting change.

I cannot recommend Linda as a couples counsellor highly enough! Linda was absolutely phenomenal in helping my husband and I navigate some of the toughest times in our relationship. Going into counselling, we were both unsure of what to expect, but Linda made us feel incredibly comfortable and provided us with a safe space to express our thoughts and feelings.
Linda was patient, empathetic and skilled at identifying the underlying issues that were creating tension in our relationship. She provided us with tools and techniques to communicate more effectively, which made it easier for us to express our needs to each other and work through our differences. It's like the light has been turned back on for us!
Thanks to Linda's guidance and support, we were able to reconnect on a deeper level and enjoy a more fulfilling loving relationship. Linda truly helped us turn our relationship around and we are forever grateful for her expertise and guidance. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone struggling with relationship issues. She truly deserves a 5-star rating!

Linda helped my husband and I through a difficult time. At first we were anxious, but Linda helped us feel comfortable to share our sensitive issues and she never judged.
She gave us techniques to better manage our private situation and we’re still using them.
We’re so grateful for Linda’s guidance and support because now we’re connected on a deeper level. We highly recommend Linda to anyone who’s seeking help in their relationship.

Linda has helped me navigate an incredibly difficult time in my life and marriage, she’s helped me truly understand the root of my sadness, fear and disappointment and to cope in some difficult circumstances. Her insights, advice and strategies have been so valuable and a lifeline to my situation.
No matter how hard some session have been, I’ve left feeling lighter and with some hope for things to come.
I found Linda kind, empathetic, experienced and generous in nature. It was a long drive for me, but worth every minute to do in person visits. My husband and I have both since suggested Linda’s services to friends

Linda has been a very special part of my life, my healing journey and has honestly helped shape the woman I am today.
I see her as a very special shining light in my life. I am so grateful everyday I came across her kind and nurturing soul.
She not only helped me through a very dark traumatic time in my life, but she helped me see myself, hear myself, helped me navigate my way through my traumas and life experiences.
Linda also allowed me to see how courageous and brave I am and allowed me to walk a path of unlocking my true potential in my mind, body, spirit and life.
I see Linda as a special mentor in my life and will continue to have her as a mentor in my life to help guide me through either troubling times or even just times where I’m growing and I need a little guidance to help me see my right path for me to take by allowing me to trust myself, my intuition and coming back to me, my home, my heart.
