Grief and Loss Counselling in Langford, BC.

I use my own experience of loss and relevant therapeutic insights to guide you through the grieving process. When your grief hurts those closest to you or interferes with your day to day functioning, you need to give attention to your hurt. This is where a trained outsider can be of help. We all go through similar stages of grief when faced with a significant loss, but in our own unique way. We need to take the time and address what is possible at each moment. By making sense of where you are in the grieving process, clarifying your beliefs and expectations of how much time grieving should take and what the end result should be, you will be able to integrate your experience.

I understand that the pain you're going through right now feels unbearable, like a heavy weight on your soul. In our work together, we'll create a safe space to explore your feelings and memories, using therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique experience of grief. While the journey ahead may be challenging, it's important to remember that healing is possible. You don't have to go through this alone; I'll be here to support you every step of the way, helping you find a path toward hope and renewal.

I provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients can process the emotional, physical, and relational impacts of loss at their own pace. Drawing on a holistic, body-based approach, I help clients connect with their feelings, navigate complex emotions, and honour their unique grieving process. I also integrate faith-affirming support when relevant, allowing clients to explore spiritual questions or beliefs as part of healing. Clients benefit from practical strategies to cope with daily challenges, deepen self-awareness, and gradually rebuild a sense of meaning, resilience, and hope after loss.

While grief and transition are a natural part of life, we are still often overwhelmed by sadness, anger and all the confusing emotions that come with loss. There is no right or wrong way to grieve—just your body and mind doing what it can to process the pain of major life change and the loss of how things were. Working with me means compassionate care that helps you to approach and feel your feelings in a safe way, taking things one step at a time. I promise you that all grief can be transformed into a gentle honouring of who or what was lost. I would be happy to team up with you in your journey towards peace and acceptance.

My approach to grief and loss honors the deeply personal and nonlinear nature of healing. I provide a safe space to process complex emotions—whether sadness, anger, guilt, or relief—without judgment. Using trauma-informed and somatic therapies, we’ll gently explore your unique relationship to loss while rebuilding a sense of meaning and connection. There’s no ‘right way’ to grieve; together, we’ll move at your pace, integrating memories and emotions in a way that allows you to carry love forward while reclaiming hope.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, angry, lonely, guilty, relieved, isolated, confused, or numbed out? Loss and grief is most often associated with loss of life, but it can also be central to the presenting problems and underlying issues that are brought into my counselling office by most of my clients. Death, divorce, relocation, immigration, job loss, relationship breakdowns...these are all losses that we need to work through. Talking about your loss and processing your feelings is a good place to start.
