In grief and loss therapy, I approach each client with compassion and empathy as they navigate through the difficult and often overwhelming emotions associated with losing a loved one. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space for clients to express their feelings, explore their grief, and develop coping strategies to move towards healing.

When you lose someone or something precious to you, it’s natural to experience pain and grief. The process of grief and bereavement is normal, and most people go through it. But when grief takes over your life and makes you feel hopeless, worthless and helpless, then it becomes important to talk to a counsellor about telling the difference between normal grief and depression. The Family Enhancement Centre has several therapists who specialize in Grief and Bereavement counselling. Contact us today to know how we can help you.

Over the course of our lives, we experience various losses and we grieve in many different ways. It can be difficult to know how to begin working through grief and you do not have to be alone in this process. I believe that grieving is a journey and I welcome the opportunity to support you in your path to healing. Within therapy, we can explore some of the emotions you are experiencing, unpack expectations about what grieving looks like, discuss possibilities for connection with what’s most important within your life, and consider possible ways to honour the loss(es) you have experienced. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Grief and loss is a normal and appropriate response to the loss of a loved one, past trauma, the loss of a nurturing and loving childhood, deployment/unemployment as well as many other unwanted circumstances. Giving yourself the time and compassion to move through this necessary process allows you to emerge with a renewed sense of hope and empowerment to move into a new and empowered life.

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.

With Gestalt therapy the five tasks of mourning, are supported: (1) To accept the reality of the loss, (2) To experience the pain of grief, (3) To adjust to the environment in which the deceased is missing, (4) To withdraw (some) emotional energy and reinvest it in another relationship, and (5) To find a place for and maintain a continuing bond with what we lose, however not in any specific order. A gestalt therapist supports the bereaved with an emphasis on a "loving authentic presence and communication that allows expression of EACH other’s personhood" so that feelings are honored and explored at the clients own pace. The here and now is emphasized and that is what leads to support/change

I offer a compassionate space where the weight of sorrow can be acknowledged without judgment. I gently support clients in exploring how loss affects their emotional, physical, and relational worlds, and I help them navigate the complex waves that often arise. With steady presence and an emphasis on emotional safety, I guide clients toward integrating their grief rather than feeling pressured to “move past” it. Over time, this process allows meaning, connection, and self-compassion to naturally re-emerge, supporting healing at a pace that feels right.

There are many forms of loss we encounter in life - relationships, places, work, meaningful engagements, roles at work or at home, etc. The deeper any of these mean to us, the harder it can be to process the loss. I offer a place to sit with loss, to explore what's going on with it, to learn what's normal & what to expect in this type of journey. Grief has it's own schedule, it's important to honour this, and to grieve well.

I walk with my clients in their journey of grieving, through their difficult time as they try to understand their loss and their feelings. I offer them a safe space and time to understand their feelings for their losses. There are many other kinds of losses in our lives. We may lose our loved ones, our health, our physical mobility, our relationships with others, our dreams or our jobs. These are losses which we may not realize that we need to grieve. We may feel that something is not quite right.

It is hard to believe the grief and anguish we suffer through grief and loss until you are experiencing it. Many well-wishers want to "get over it" and "move on."

They will help us gain a new perspective.

I define grieving as: "Your body is healing an emotional break and/or bruise". A loss of any type will create emotional bruising or an emotional break - such as the loss of a loved one. Grieving is a normal emotional healing process. Our emotions will heal, just as a broken leg will heal. However, we are to nurse the bruise/break properly, otherwise the emotional body can not heal itself. I will help you develop a healthy emotional wound care system. I provide a safe place for you to vent your feelings. Venting feelings or I like to call it "washing your emotional wound" is the first step. Then I teach the emotional nursing steps which will guide and support the healing process.

Grief, another powerful emotion we experience when dealing with loss, is a conditioning that affects all human beings. In our society there is often a notion that we should hurry up and get over our grief but maybe we should grieve as long as we need to. One way to see loss is to see loss as change and then to let change in. By developing a practice of loving kindness towards ourselves and others we can take a gentler approach toward loss and pain.

In times of deep loss, finding a way forward can feel overwhelming. With rich experience supporting those living with terminal illnesses and families who have lost loved ones, I understand there are no "right" ways to grieve. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can share your unique journey. I’ll be here with you, honoring your feelings and helping you heal at your own pace, with empathy and care.
