Each person feels grief in a their own unique way, depending on their personality, cultural traditions, spiritual beliefs, and the way in which their loved one died. Some react with silence, while others experience and outpouring of feelings (commonly: shock, disbelief, despair, anger, guilt). I offer a compassionate presence and support in being with and working through whatever emotions and feelings may arise on what can often can be an overwhelming and otherwise lonely journey towards healing.

Attachment, separation, and loss are the touchstones of a life lived. And thus it is unavoidable that we will experience profound losses in the course of our lives -- some developmentally necessary and appropriate and some unexpected and devastating. When a loss is sudden and painful, no matter how it arises, it can leave one felling helpless, in shock, and even traumatized. Therapy can help ground a persons in the midst of such debilitating experiences, serving to both normalize and internalize the key aspects of these transition points in one's life. It will entail a process of healing and transformation as it reveals a necessary stage in the ongoing emotional journey of one's life.

Some people resist moving on with their life because they fear a loss of the safety their loved-one provided them with. They seek shelter in denial, or behave like the loss of a special person did not occur, when, in fact, what they need is closure. There are three steps I take in helping a client seek closure: 1) The client must identify and experience the range of painful feelings that constitute grief; 2) Once the client has gotten in touch with his/her emotions, the client must identify changes or maladaptive behavior decisions that are related to the loss; and 3) The final step in closure is acceptance - to complete unfinished business and to say "hello" to the future.

When I work with grief and loss I appreciate that your story needs to be told....sometimes over and over. Perhaps your friends and family are tired of hearing your story and catching your tears. In my counselling office you will find unlimited time and tissues. For as long as it takes. Grief work is called "work" because that's exactly what it is. Sometimes it takes a therapist to help you through this intense period....someone who doesn't need you to be "your old self" again right away. I will stand beside you through this dark tunnel and have the patience to hang in until the light starts to shine again. And it will...

I support people going through grief by using a mindful approach. This forgiving way of working through one of the most difficult, stressful and confusing times in life allows you to grieve at your own pace without any judgement. Often people with good intent ask if we are still grieving, perhaps they are not aware that there is no timeline to grief. If you are grieving and you need support I can help you navigate this very surreal time.

Learn the different emotions connected with grief and loss while exploring different strategies to work through and process your grief and loss. It used to be that wearing dark clothing signaled to society that someone has experienced a profound loss. This way, society knew this individual needed support, warmth and kindness. However, that approach has been phased out. Rather, we tend to live in a society that has imposed a limited range of emotional expression and a time limit on processes such as grief and loss. This can be challenging. Discover ways to connect with and express your grief and loss without feeling guilty for not fitting into societies expectations.

During a lifetime we all experience losses along the way. In a culture that rewards a 'be strong and get on with it' attitude, we often miss the opportunity to grieve in a way that heals the wounds of loss. As life continues and we experience further losses, our grief appears to deepen and widen, leaving us bewildered at the intensity of feeling that may engulf us. If you have experienced a recent loss; work, relationship, illness, loved one, death of a beloved pet, or if you are having difficulty reconciling a past loss, counseling can help you to move through and resolve difficult emotions and find new meaning in your life.

We all experience loss at times in our life. It is natural to want to defend against this pain but that leads to more difficulties because the pain of loss is not released. Therapy helps to gently let go of the pain from the grief and loss. As we deal with the losses in our life we build resilience and meaning in our lives. Everyone grieves differently and it changes us. Therapy needs to honour who you are in your grief.

Though every experience of loss is personal and unique, there are maps to help us navigate this painful process. Sometimes present grief is complicated by past losses that have re-surfaced and this can make dealing with it alone especially difficult. As an experienced and knowledgeable counsellor in the area of Loss and Grief, I can support you in not feeling overwhelmed. I am there as a compassionate listener and witness, as well as a guide, as your heart heals and you are able to celebrate life again.

"There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go." ~Author Unknown. Processing grief - the accepting, knowing, and letting go referenced in that quote - is a difficult and layered journey. I believe a therapist's role is to be a companion and witness on that journey, someone who offers guidance along the way, but mostly sits with us in our grieving and thereby shows us we can bear, accept, and ultimately transform it.

Many of the usual grief behaviors may seem like manifestations of depression. These emotions and behaviors may include such things as: sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, fatigue, shock, preoccupation, sleep/appetite disturbance and social withdrawal. Although these reactions are all very normal, some people may be troubled by the length of time or the severity to which they are experiencing them. This is a good place to try counselling for guidance through the stages of mourning.

When you lose something you love and care about - whether it be a person, a pet, a job . . . anything, it can turn your whole world upside-down. It can make you question everything that you once believed about yourself and the world. Often those around you don't know how to help, or are grieving themselves and are unable to be there for you. I provide a safe place for clients to honestly express their pain or anger, and to begin to make sense of their loss. In their own time, I support clients as they move forward and find ways to put together a life with new meaning.
