In our sessions, we'll work on processing grief on your own terms, in a way that honours you and the relationship you had with the person you lost. We'll work to help you get your bearings and - in time - to return back to life after your loss.

Grief can feel overwhelming, isolating, and all-consuming. I provide a compassionate space to fully share your pain, remember and stay connected to those you’ve lost, and explore ways to integrate their presence into your life. Clients gain relief, emotional clarity, and the strength to carry love forward while gradually discovering peace, hope, resilience, and renewed purpose in their daily lives.

Whether you're grieving a loved one, a role, or a version of yourself, grief changes you—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Loss can leave us feeling torn between memories, guilt, relief, or even numbness. With empathy shaped by many years of accompanying individuals and families through change, I offer a nurturing, non-judgmental space to honour every part of your experience. My goal is to help you find meaning in the midst of sorrow, cultivate resilience, and rediscover moments of peace, gently untangling emotions with practical tools from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness. Together, we make space for what was, tend gently to what is, and build meaning for what comes next.

Your experiences of grief and loss are unique. Therapy can provide a safe space to learn about grief and what to expect during this process.

Loss has many faces, coming from many different places. Even small losses can add up and sneak up on us, leaving us empty. While loss is a common part of life, we are not always given the tools or the opportunity to do the emotional work to complete the natural process of grief so we can be free to move on. In our work together, we will explore what is keeping you stuck, and identify the resources you need to move on, while honoring your loss. I can be your companion and share many tools with you on this often lonely journey. As a certified EMDR therapist, I can also help you more easily navigate the hardest parts of the journey using the resources of your own mind.

Grief and loss can come in many forms; whether it’s the loss of a loved one, loss of identity or loss of what you thought your life would look like, I support clients in navigating their grief.

Grief never fully leaves, however, I work with clients to hold their grief in a way that allows them to honor their loss as they continue through life. Clients are able to create space to memorialize their loss while continuing to foster their relationships, work towards their goals and live a life of happiness.

Grief and loss are significant life experiences that can be difficult to manage. I have heard from many that sometimes it seems like the extreme sadness will not leave them. I work with such clients to try and make space in their life to experience positive emotions along with the sadness. Grief is very individual and some clients desire help to "move past the grief", while others do not agree with this. I work to meet clients where they are, to optimize their day to day life experiences according to their own individual hopes. In addition, I help clients to find meaning in their experience of grief and loss, honour the life of their lost loved one, and manage the related difficult emotions.

As loss may be best described as the absence of something valuable, grief is the reaction to this absence. It permeates every area of our lives. The way we experience grief is personal and changes as we adapt to the loss. Feelings of guilt, disbelief, anger, yearning, and sorrow are often present. Going through the stages of grief is difficult. Together, we will explore the healing journey ensuring you are self-companionate while honouring the one’s you have lost and to explore and understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that are integrated into your bereavement process.

I believe there are many forms of grief and loss. We may be grieving the loss of a loved one, our dream of what home is, grief of the pain of the planet, ecosystems and species, loss of an inner sense of balance. One activity I love to share with people who are grieving is to be present with a river. I invite them to pay attention as the water flows downstream and to tune into what they are letting go of. Then I invite them to notice how there is water flowing toward them and ask what newness might be emerging within? Often people are surprised to discover that our loss is creating space for something new to arise.

As a compassionate and grounded counsellor, I help clients navigate grief and loss with clarity, warmth, and accountability. My approach is especially helpful for those who feel stuck in mental loops—whether it’s guilt, “what if” thinking, or the pressure to hold it all together. I don’t believe in quick fixes or toxic positivity. Instead, I offer a space where you can be honest about your pain, explore what healing looks like for you, and build a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.

Grief and loss can be described as a roller coaster ride. When we are giving we experience so many emotions such as sadness, depression, anger, confusion and more.

In my work with clients, I recognize that most therapy eventually touches on some form of grief—whether from loss, change, or unmet hopes. I offer a compassionate and grounded space to explore these experiences at a pace that feels right. Rather than rushing toward resolution, I help clients stay present with what has been lost and discover what remains meaningful. Through gentle exploration and attuned support, I aim to help individuals integrate their grief, honour their connections, and move toward a renewed sense of continuity and possibility.

Disruption and change (personal or professional, expected or unexpected) can cause considerable psychological and emotional pain for many.

I help men to better cope with life's disruptions, increase their ability to process change and strengthen their resilience so they can successfully adapt to life's challenges and find happiness and joy again.
