In grief counseling, various techniques are employed, such as talk therapy, expressive arts therapy, and support groups, to create a supportive and understanding environment. The focus is on acknowledging the loss, expressing emotions safely, and finding new ways to connect with lost loved ones or adapt to the new reality. The journey also involves rediscovering joy and meaning in life, acknowledging that while the loss remains a part of one's story, it does not define the entire narrative. This compassionate approach aims to guide individuals through their grief, helping them to heal and grow at their own pace.

Losing loved ones is one of the most difficult things you will ever endure. I will support individuals/couples grieving the loss of a friend, loved one, or associate. I provide support for people who may have experienced a traumatic loss, and also provide couples grieving consultations. Grief is a natural response to loss. I create a confidential, safe place where you feel comfortable and understood, while learning to manage the changes and challenges that come with all types of loss such as illness, age, sudden or accidental death, suicide, and child loss.

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.

Part of living, is about losing and letting go. The pain of loss can be overwhelming. It is hard when we feel our world has turned upside town when the rest of those around us are carrying on as usual. I can help you make sense of the loss and work towards making steps to heal at the pace you need. I use a combination of therapy approaches to help reduce held guilt that often holds us back from moving forward in life.

When we experience loss, we can become stuck in a pattern of negative feelings and emotions. It can be hard to more forward in the healing process. EMDR can help by targeting and reprocessing the underlying memories and emotions associated with the loss, thus allowing us to move through the stages of grief in a more healing and adaptive way. By reprocessing the negative experiences, we reduce the negative symptoms and increase our sense of emotional resilience and well-being.

My approach is to join with you to understand your experience of loss intimately and deeply in conversation with you. When we are joined with the pain, you will not have to feel it alone, even if the grief is only fully healed with time. I will help you make sense of your feelings and provide psychoeducation around the phases of grief, specifically to how these known phases can be meaningful to your current experience, what you are feeling, and how you can continue to honour the person, relationship, or thing that you have lost and find acceptance and hope.

Grief can come from many types of loss. When you lose someone it seems like you will never be able to live a normal life again since he loss can effect everything you do and every one you are around. There are as many ways of grieving as there are ways to lose some one. Many of us need help in order to move forward and have a healthy relationship with those who are still living with us. As a professional counsellor trained in trauma and loss, I can help you move through the stages of grief and loss in a natural, non-judgmental and supportive way,

Any loss can cause grief. While we associate the most intense grief with the loss of a loved one there is also grief in the loss of a relationship, friendship, health, job, death of a pet, or a loved one's serious illness. We believe that each of us unfolds and processes grief in an individual way with no set timetable for grieving and resolution. We thus provide a safe, nurturing, non-judgemental environment so that you can process grief in your own way using clinical tools and information to understand and process the cycles of grief and thereby heal.

When we are facing grief and loss, there is often a complex web of emotions and many layers of meaning-making to encounter in our healing process. The path is never linear. The timeline requires sensitivity and nuance. Compassion, patience and the ability to hold seemingly contradictory feelings are paramount. With gentle presence, we can hold the magnitude and the subtleties of this experience moving step by step towards healing.

Grief and loss affects everyone at some time in their lives unfortunately, and with persistent concussion symptoms that can last years, it creates a unique struggle. People who struggle with post concussion always say "I feel so isolated", or "nobody understands", even people close to them. Working with people with post concussion for many years gives me a unique lens into this often debilitating and lonely world. As a Certified Brain Injury Specialist, I have training and education in this field and use evidence-based approaches and supports to help. I understand.

Moving through times of grieving can often be complicated by feelings of isolation and loss and to navigate this I work with individuals to process the impact of the grief within different aspects of their lives. Part of this process involves examining assets within themselves that will foster strength and resilience that will be beneficial towards the process of moving ahead in their lives. Living with grief is a part of the grieving process and building on past successes and strengths speaks to continued wellness.

Grief and loss is a profound and individualized experience. However, with ideas about specific stages of grief and appropriate and inappropriate types of grieving - grief and loss can be stigmatizing. Feelings of grief and loss can come from a wide range of experiences. For instances, these feelings can emerge from a death or loss of a loved one, an illness, death of a pet, loss from relationship or identity etc. In therapy we will explore your individual experience with grief and loss within the context of your life and life experiences. I offer support to individuals, couples, or families.
