Grief and Loss Counselling in Streetsville, ON.

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.

Whether through a death or a break up, loss and the grieving process is extremely difficult. I’m sure you’ve heard of the stages of grieving (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance). But, they don’t always go in that order, and they often jump around in your time line. Your grieving process has no time limits, and every journey is unique. I will walk with you through that, at your pace. No matter which stage of grieving you’re in, reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

The experience of loss may result from many life experiences including the passing of a human loved one or a beloved pet, the ending of a relationship, job loss, or changes to our physical or mental capabilities. Grief is one of the most challenging of human emotions. Together, we will navigate your unique grieving process to enable you to experience growth and empower you to create a life you can accept and enjoy despite your loss.

Grief is the normal and natural reaction to significant emotional loss of any kind. It involves conflicting feelings caused by the end of, or change in, a familiar pattern of behaviour. It is the feeling of reaching out for someone who has always been there, they are no longer there. The grief journey is so individual and unique, so our work with people who need loss support is also specific to our clients' needs. We help people properly diagnose their difficulties and help them make sense of their conflicting emotions so that they can move through life with more peace and certainty.

My approach to assisting with loss and grieving is to normalize the experience...loss of someone or something we love creates grief. Helping people learn how to best withstand and manage the emotions, the way loss can stop you in your tracks, and how to begin moving again is vital work. The bottom line is that, as long as you love, you grieve. We CAN learn to manage.

I am happy to help individuals cope with the distress associated with the loss of a loved one, or any significant loss in their lives. I provide empathy, validation, and non-judgmental support to clients as they navigate their grief journey. Together we may work on: understanding your emotions, processing complex feelings around grief, healthy coping strategies, meaning making and long-term healing.

Grief after pregnancy or infant loss is often invisible to the outside world, but its impact runs deep. As someone who has both experienced and supported others through this kind of heartbreak, I offer a space where your loss is acknowledged and your pain doesn’t have to be hidden. Clients often share that they feel deeply understood and less alone in our sessions. Together, we’ll gently explore your grief, honour what’s been lost, and find ways to move forward that hold space for both healing and remembrance - on your terms, in your time.

Grief and loss can feel overwhelming, touching every part of life and leaving people unsure of how to move forward. In my approach, I create a compassionate, supportive space where clients can express their feelings openly, without judgment. Together, we explore the unique ways grief shows up, whether through sadness, anger, guilt, or even numbness, and find meaningful ways to cope and heal. Using approaches like person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and narrative techniques, I support clients in honoring their loss, making sense of their emotions, and gradually rebuilding a sense of hope and connection in their lives.

Loss of a loved one is often one of those most challenging hard ships that we face. Although many try to prepare for loss, we are often faced with more than sadness and emptiness, but with feelings of guilt, anger, disappointment. Therapy can help an individual come to terms with their loss and learn to rebuild life. Although we will not ever forget those who have been close to us, the memories associated with their lives will feel less painful with time.

Therapy with me offers a compassionate space to feel and express your grief fully, without judgment or expectation. Here, you can say out loud the things that feel too heavy to share elsewhere and receive emotional support as you navigate the depth of your loss. Together, we create room for your unique way of grieving—whether through silence, tears, reflection, or story. You’ll be supported in learning to both honour and live alongside your grief, finding ways to carry it with gentleness and meaning.

We all must deal with grief sometime in our lives. However, there are times we lose someone dear to us and it feels as if we will never see the sun again. Processing our loss through therapy helps to make that dark journey less difficult and in time blur the sharp painful edges of pain. During therspy we will look at and restructure negative debilitating thoughts and replacing them with more constructive and positive ones. We never fully get over the loss, but we learn how to celebrate and cherish our missed loved ones.

Experiencing a loss can be devastating. It can permeate our thoughts, disorient us, leave us feeling exhausted and depleted. And yet, experiencing it is the key to moving forward. I can help you bear the load in times of struggle, and process your feelings in times of clarity. Grieving is a form of healing, an undertaking that's closely connected to what it means to be human. It is often painful, but walking the path with someone beside you can help a great deal. Reach out today to start this journey with someone you can trust to care and respond to you with kindness and compassion.
