Grieving doesn’t follow a timeline, and no two experiences are the same. Whether you’re coping with the death of a loved one, miscarriage, relationship loss, or a major life transition, therapy can help you process the pain without rushing your healing. At Rooted in Resilience, we create a compassionate space where you can honour your loss, express your emotions freely, and slowly reconnect with hope. Together, we’ll explore meaning, memory, and what it looks like to carry grief while still moving forward.

The treatment plan would focus on supporting you, the client, through the natural grieving process while promoting emotional healing and adjustment. I would integrate person-centered support with elements of grief counseling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address any unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness-based strategies to build emotional resilience. As therapy progresses, focus would shift to helping the client find meaning, rebuild a sense of purpose, and adapt to life without the deceased or what was lost.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

Grief can feel like carrying around a heavy suitcase that clouds every aspect of your life.

You might experience shock, anger, confusion, sadness, despair, frustration, guilt, shame, and life might feel meaningless. I work support you in unpacking the complex feelings behind grief, so that you don't have to be alone. Together, we can work to honour what you have lost, while building a path forward.

The people who have touched our lives, family members, and special friends (pets) we love are important to us. When anything risks those we love, we also feel distressed. Our deep connection to them means we experience this incredible emptiness when they die. Though we know that death is normal, natural, and inevitable, this knowledge does not eliminate the emotional pain of our loss. Through my losses and the losses of others, I have learned that life is over, but it is never finished. If you are experiencing a recent loss of a family member, friend, or special friend, I am available to journey with you through this loss. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
