Grief and Loss Counselling in Rossland, BC.

While loss is an inevitable part of life, there is no right or wrong way to work through this time. Counselling can help you manage depressive and other difficult symptoms that can occur during times of grief. Grief and loss are a personal journey and I am here to provide support to you as you navigate this experience in the way that feels authentic for you.

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.

Grief & loss can seem debilitating and overwhelming and many people struggle in moving on. Counselling is a highly effective resource for healing after a loss. Through compassion and understanding we will work to heal the pain of the event and move into acceptance and peace. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, the loss of health or mobility, divorce or mid life transition, we can help.

Grief can be a difficult experience to navigate. I use a Narrative approach to helping clients move through the pain of grief. Using this approach, I help clients form a ‘relationship with grief’, knowing it can be with us for the rest of our lives. Clients come to know and understand grief, and spend time with it rather than running away or avoiding it. When grief is familiar and known, it has less power to overtake us at unexpected times.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by loss, struggling to cope with the pain, and finding it hard to move forward?

Imagine having someone by your side who truly understands what you're going through, who offers compassionate support and effective strategies to help you heal.
