Grief and Loss Counselling in Norfolk County, ON.

I provide a safe space for clients who are working through grief and loss to express their emotions and memories. Through the use of narrative therapy, clients are empowered to share their stories and process their emotions. Coping strategies are also taught to support clients with managing their daily lives while grieving. Clients benefit by exploring the meaning of their loss and its impacts to their identity, growing in resilience, and gradually moving toward acceptance and healing.

I understand how difficult it is to loose someone you love. Taking time to talk about the stages of grief and loss are an important part to heal. I offer you a safe and compassionate place for you to express your feelings of sadness and angry without judgement. Let me guide to through your journey and help you talk openly about your experience.

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. I help clients validate their loss, identify what their loss means to them and process their feelings that can feel consuming. 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 counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.

With warmth, compassion and positive energy I will help you discover new hope and courage for the future. Change is difficult… I’m not much of a fan myself… but together you will soon see beyond the pain. With respect and dignity we will honor the loss and find a way to move forward and get you back to living the best life possible. Together, we will create a new normal; one that brings out the best in you.

My approach to grief and loss therapy is grounded in compassion, presence, and honoring each person’s unique grieving process. I provide a safe, supportive space for clients to express their emotions freely, without judgment or pressure to “move on.” Using mindfulness, and emotion-focused techniques, we explore the layers of loss—whether from death, divorce, or life transitions—and work toward integrating grief in a meaningful way. Clients often find comfort, clarity, and the capacity to reconnect with life while still honoring what they’ve lost.

Grief can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing. Whether you’re coping with the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or other life transitions, I offer a space to process these painful emotions at your own pace. Together, we can explore how grief affects your identity, relationships, and daily functioning, and gently work toward finding meaning, connection, and healing.

In my practice you will find a safe place to talk about and work through pain, and the feelings of sadness, confusion, guilt, shame and anger that often accompany the experience of grief and loss. Moving through grief and loss is your personal journey that takes time and is experienced uniquely from your own perspective. I provide therapy, counselling and and support for people who have lost a loved one such as a family member, friend or colleague whether through death or the ending of a relationship, those who have lost an important pet or animal companion or people who have experienced a loss that includes a loss of a job or personal identity.
