Grief is the emotional suffering we feel when we lose something or someone important to us. This can include the loss of friend, partner, or family member, a change in life circumstances, death of a pet, getting fired, loss of health, safety, a dream... anything that we once had and now do not. The intensity and process can be unique for each person, but like all other emotions that impact the quality of our life, ignoring it or suppressing it does not work. Seeking support as we move through the various stages of grief is very helpful. Planning for our healing is crucial so that we do not become 'stuck' in the pain. A skilled therapist can assist us during this vulnerable time.

After loosing someone close to you it is often hard to find emotional balance. Therapy can provide you with a safe space to process your loss and the difficult emotions that often follow. Feeling sad, lonely, angry, and confused are all normal and healthy emotions to experience during this time. Working with a therapist can help you through these tough emotions as well as how to feel normal and happy again.

Everyone experiences loss at some time in their lives, but sometimes the loss of a loved one is too much to bear alone. Adapting to this profound change in our lives is very difficult. Talking with someone with whom you comfortable, can help you navigate this stage in your life. You will learn new skills as you deal with your feelings and adapt to the changes you are experiencing. Be confident that with time you will recover and feel hope again.

In my practice, I offer compassionate support to individuals navigating the complex and often overwhelming emotions associated with grief and loss. Grief is a universal experience, yet it is uniquely personal. Whether someone is mourning the loss of a loved one, facing the end of a relationship, or coping with a significant life change, the journey through grief can be challenging. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and empathetic space for clients to express their emotions, memories, and concerns without judgment. Through a combination of grief-focused counseling, narrative therapy, and mindfulness techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to honor their unique grieving process.

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.

Grieving is not something to overcome, rather to be respected. It is the careful and essential process toward healing; toward finding acceptance and understanding. It can’t be rushed, but it can be directed. Through compassion and therapeutic guidance, grief can do its work effectively. Profound changes in our lives can be daunting. Despite years of experience, I am humbled by those in grief. Grieving is complicated. The boundaries of pain reach beyond sadness, loss, and adjustment, often to unfinished business, guilt, and anger. It seems unimaginable, but with guidance, fragmented emotions can find balance again. Life will find its way.

In today's society, we are expected to "suck it up and move on" in situations related to loss. However, grief has a mind of its own. It shows up when we don't expect it. It comes back when we thought we've dealt with it. Trying to avoid it and numb it out only makes it stronger. Therapy can help you heal. Whether you have lost a loved one through death or a relationship ending, have gone through a difficult life transition or are grieving the loss of something else important to you, we will work together to practice ways to sit with, honour, transform and heal grief in a supportive, non-judgmental and compassionate space.

Being alive means experiencing inevitable loss, which is normally followed by grief and recovery. The loss can be the loss of a person, image, ideal, or even a hope. However, the grief and recovery can sometimes be complicated. Every person follows a unique pattern of grief processing. The key for a healthy recovery lies in understanding this pattern in a supported environment. The therapy is about helping the client to get to this insight. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

The way that I imagine being part of your journey through these moments is by holding your hand and walking through this unknown path together, while discovering new aspects and meanings of the self along the way. I will check in with you to ensure that we are walking this path on a pace that is most suitable for you, for there is no need to rush during this time.

I Guide my clients through therapeutic art-making combined with talking therapy to tackle grief & loss in their lives. I may or may not direct my clients on what pieces of art to make to help them through their grieving process. The benefits of an Art Therapy approach to grief & loss is that it gives my clients another outlet for expressing difficult feelings, helps them find healthy ways of coping, and allows them to create meaningful pieces of art to commemorate their memories of their loved ones. I allow my clients to be the experts on their feelings, and allow the art sessions to flow naturally based on where they are in their grieving process.

I believe we all need the space to share our pain and loss in a warm and caring environment in which we can make meaning of life’s most difficult transitions and events. I also believe that it’s important that you as a client are allowed to work at your own pace and set your own goals, because the process of grieving isn’t something you can put a timeline on. Instead, through an empathetic relationship I facilitate your growth and help you adapt to life’s pain and challenges.

Individual therapy is focused on your unique needs and goals. Individual therapy includes learning about your history and life experiences then establishing goals to accomplish in counselling. Our histories are the roots that provide us with a foundation of strength and resilience. But, our histories can also hold the stories that cause pain, insecurity and doubt. It is our belief that the best therapy comes from helping to heal the roots that cause those stuck points. Through this we can create lasting change.
