Joanne helps navigate life transitions, grief, trauma, stress, and relationship challenges.
You may look like you’re coping on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what comes next. Counselling offers a space to slow things down, feel genuinely heard, and begin understanding what’s underneath the stress, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or emotional overwhelm you’ve been carrying. Many clients seek clarity, healing, and confidence while processing difficult emotions, rebuilding self-worth, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful change.

I understand that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable and even daunting, which is why creating a safe, welcoming space and building a genuine client-therapist relationship is a top priority for me. I strive to make the therapeutic process as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I view therapy as a collaborative journey, grounded in each individual’s strengths and personal goals. I deeply respect that every client is unique in their experiences and circumstances. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to support clients in understanding and transforming emotional patterns.

I have significant experience working with adults impacted by trauma, illness, grief, and difficult relationships.
My ideal clients are adults carrying the impact of trauma, narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships, or ongoing anxiety and relational or workplace stress. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or triggered by patterns you can’t quite shift alone. I help people make sense of what’s happening, strengthen boundaries, regulate emotions, and find a sense of self. This means a better daily life and healthier relationships I love working with other people who help people: health professionals, teachers, parents, and first responders too.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
