I believe self-awareness and understanding your environment are key aspects of mental health. If you have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, grief , or are just feeling “stuck”, I can help you develop the skills it takes to move forward. Let’s collaborate and combine science with personal experience to uncover your true potential! I use a variety of therapeutic approaches with my clients, but my culturally sensitive approach is grounded in person-centered, CBT, and existential theory. I have had the privilege of working with a variety of clients in not-for-profit, in-patient treatment, and private practice settings.

Do you wake up, wanting to stay in bed, asking yourself "what's the point", feel stuck, alone, overwhelmed, worried, stressed, nervous, and/or depressed? Maybe thinking to yourself, I'm not good enough or I am a failure. You have barriers in your life that may have caused some of the thoughts and symptoms above such as a recent grief , loss , or past childhood event that still lingers in your mind and sets you back. If you are looking something different, better, or more, we can work together on creating a plan that will help guide you, support you, and increase hope for a better functioning, healthier, and happier life.

My specialties include trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), grief and loss , emotion regulation, and adult ADHD.
I believe that therapy should be sometimes fun, sometimes uncomfortable, and always rewarding. I adapt my therapy approach to your specific needs, with a focus on making sure that you feel the payoff for your hard work. Maybe you feel like you're not in control of your emotions, or you're unable to explore more meaningful parts of your life because of fear or past experiences. We can work towards acceptance and building a sense of control. If you're looking to make sense of your experiences and better understand yourself, all while working on feeling better in the process, I can support you along the way.

Sometimes it’s the grief of losing a loved one, or a traumatic experience they had.
I believe that our mind, body and spirit hold the key to our emotional wellbeing. Somewhere along the way into adulthood, this connection between the head, the heart, and the body falter and begin to cause us distress. People lose the ability to "trust their gut" or are unable to identify what they are feeling during particular times of loss or conflict. My approach aims to identify where the disconnect is, and work collaboratively to bring all three back into focus. It is said "the longest journey you will ever make is from your head to your heart" and my goal is to support people as they take the steps needed to get there.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce, or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss , we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.

Many people feel lost in the rhythms and uncertainties of life. Feelings of emptiness, loneliness, hurt, confusion and anxiety can overwhelm our ability to live life deeply. Sometimes our usual patterns of living are no longer working. Other times sudden changes, such as world events, a loss , life transition, trauma, or a diagnosis swamp our emotional resources. The surfacing of past events such as abuse, grief , or accidents may stop us in our tracks. These are just some of the situations that can create barriers to living the life we want, and send us searching for deeper meaning, connection and belonging.

Grief Counsellors

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.
