Grief and Loss Counselling in Walnut Grove, BC.

I previously provided consultations for the BC Coroner's Office for 14 years. I functioned as a behavioural investigator and my role was to investigate completed suicides of youths 18 years of age and under. Needless to say this provided me with an opportunity to provide initial grief support to the most some of the most vulnerable clients at a most difficult time! As difficult as this role was it was an honour to have this opportunity to be there at the darkest hour!

Grief can leave you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally numb, stuck in regret, or disconnected from yourself and others. In our work together, we'll create space to gently explore the different parts of you that may be carrying sadness, anger, guilt, fear, or longing while also paying attention to how grief is held in your body. Using a blend of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches, therapy can help you process loss at your own pace, reconnect with yourself, cultivate self-compassion, and find a way to move forward while continuing to honour what matters most to you.

In my grief counselling practice, I specialize in guiding individuals through the intricate emotions that emerge following the loss of a loved one or a significant life change. No one person's journey through grief is identical and it's often not a linear path. I provide a secure and nurturing space where you can openly express your feelings, delve into memories, and address the challenges associated with grief. I am committed to fostering a compassionate and understanding environment, supporting you on your journey to healing and finding a path forward.

I understand that the pain you're going through right now feels unbearable, like a heavy weight on your soul.

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.
