People who land in my office and curl up on my sofa to talk are people seeking some peace. Peace from grief or transition and the change it flings about in our lives and identities, peace from anxiety and events of the past, and peace in relationships. Once we have this, anything is possible and we are free to go after a life that has meaning and juice to it.

Once we have this, anything is possible and we are free to go after a life that has meaning and juice to it.
I also offer individual or group counselling sessions for caregivers of people with chronic and long-term illness (such as dementia), and those who are experiencing loss and want help navigating the journey of grief.
With over two decades of experience in nursing and pastoral care, my specializations lie in guiding people through seasons of loss, confusion, and transition, with particular care for individuals across the lifespan, including children (6-12), adolescents, young adults, couples, individuals, and seniors). Whether you are struggling with low mood, substance use, anxiety, work related, parenting stress, or interpersonal conflict, my compassionate approach can help you find the inner strength and resources to reduce distress and make helpful changes in your life.

Grief can strike at any moment and I offer a safe space for clients to turn to when needed.
Loss is something we all encounter at some point in our lives, and grief is our natural response when we have to say goodbye to something or someone we hold dear. The depth of our sadness reflects just how much we cared and were attached to what we lost. Sometimes, this sorrow can be so overwhelming that it becomes challenging to concentrate on anything else. It's worth noting that in many societies, we don't talk much about death, which leaves us unsure about how to handle grief—a part of life that never really goes away. Like an emotional rollercoaster; it takes us through a process of change that is difficult to navigate.

I specialize in PTSD, grief/ loss and addiction; together we can take a look at what is holding you back and help you move forward.
You matter! I believe working on yourself is the greatest gift! It can feel lonely and often overwhelming to navigate hard things. Maybe you have been to counselling before but would like to try a more holistic approach? Often times, we have experiences in our childhood that show up in adulthood in maladaptive ways; this can affect how we view the world and cloud our sense of purpose. Maybe you are feeling uncomfortable and cannot pin point why; together we can take a look at your life and identify what is making you uncomfortable and how to find the right tools to start healing. This isn't easy but it is worth it, healing awaits.

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.
