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.

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.

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.

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.

Many forms of loss, transition, and shift in our lives can bring on feelings of grieving. Our society has not offered guidance and direction on how to manage these complex feelings. They can affect ones ability to feel connected to others, feel frozen in their loss, have difficulty with previously easy and average daily life tasks, be able to concentrate or think clearly, yearn for the lost person or situation, have difficulty moving on. I help people recover from many forms of loss and grief (relationship loss, death, new even positive life transitions, job/career loss, empty nest etc). My approach is guided by openness, warm regard and support.

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.

Grief and loss are normal, universal emotional experiences, but there is a tendency to get stuck in depression or anxiety rather than feel the sadness involved with loss. That’s understandable, because suffering is painful and difficult to bear alone. A therapist can support an individual with strategies for finding hope that a broken heart will mend. The aim is to build trust that, by allowing the expression of these feelings, the energy spent on suffering can be freed and reinvested back into creating a fulfilling life. As you do with a broken shoulder, you pay attention to the pain and attend to it in healthy ways while nature takes its course, allowing broken bones or hearts to heal.

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.

I create a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable expressing your emotions and thoughts related to your loss. I encourage clients to talk about their feelings regarding the loss and work through any unresolved issues, conflicts or emotions. By creating the space for clients to acknowledge their unresolved/unknown feelings, they can work on actually feeling and processing the emotions and begin the healing. Additionally, I work with clients to develop coping skills to manage the practical challenges of loss so they can move forward in their life.

Grief is one of the hardest things many of us ever experience. It is a trauma that is held in our body as well. It can be all consuming and painful in many ways. But if we try to ignore it, it simply gets louder, becoming depressive and anxiety like symptoms. Grief is intense because it needs the space to be processed. It may not go away completely, but there will be a life without it taking over. You will get through this and learn to manage it. We will get through it together.

Loss is something we all face, and can be the most difficult and isolating time of your life. Whether facing the loss of a loved one, career, marriage, or any significant part of your life, we can help. We take a different approach with grief and loss than other types of therapy, as we help you process the loss and the feelings, rather than target any emotional changes.

Because grief and loss can be so overwhelming that it feels like we are being swallowed whole by it, I approach this with compassion, empathy and sensitivity. Healing from such a heartbreak, can be crippling, I hold space where you can share anything that it coming up for you surrounding the grief and loss. This could include things left unfinished, things you wish you could have said or things you didn't mean. Without judgement, we will explore all this and more in a safe and supportive way.

Grief is a normal and natural response to aloss, and losses can create a lot of pain and suffering. The grieving process is very individualized and personal such that everyone processes and experiences grief differently. Whereas some might feel better after a few weeks, others might need years to feel better. There is no set time. In all cases, it is important to cope and get support with grief aand not ignore it.

Grief is a potential reaction to a loss of any kind whether through death, divorce, abandonment, separation, job loss, illness, disease diagnosis, kids leaving home, etc. Feelings of anger, resentment, shame, confusion, isolation or abandonment can result. Friends and family may not know what to say or how to provide support. A trained professional, who is profoundly sympathetic, respectful and empathetic, with the skills required to help one navigate through this difficult time, can be critical in helping one regain equilibrium.

Individuals often come to see me for therapy in my practice in the downtown area of Toronto in order to help them cope with grief, bereavement, and difficulty adjusting to painful loss. For some clients this includes the loss of a close family member, for others this includes the loss of an intimate relationship. In either case, the opportunity to discuss such losses and to understand their impact is an important part of the psychotherapy process.

Working with grief is one of the highest honours as a therapist. I personally find it to be the most delicate subject for most people. I think this is why it's so important to work with someone who deeply empathizes with the depth of the emotional pain and difficultly in coming to terms with the life altering change and loss. No, life will never be the same without your person, so we will learn how to continue living while honouring your lost loved one.

Entering into the realm of grief is like entering a different world. It can feel isolating and disorienting. You don't have to walk through this terrain alone. In therapy, we can explore the realm of grief and loss together, centering your experience. Grief is a process to be moved through at your own pace in a way that is right for you. Together we can find the supports that feel right for you as you navigate this terrain, whether it's familiar or new to you.

Wouldn’t it feel reassuring to have someone listen with compassion? Whether you've lost someone physically or psychologically, grief hits you when you least expect it. We can try everything to avoid those emotions that follow, but grief is patient, grief does not discriminate and will wait until you're done. Greif will wait until you finally have a moment to yourself or when you're in the middle of a conversation. Let's move through the grief and be waiting for it instead.
