Every person experiences hardships, loss, and trauma throughout the course of their life. This may impact our ability to function in our day-to-day. Throughout my career and education, I have developed a passion for helping those experiencing grief and loss. Grief is a deeply personal and unique experience that occurs after we experience a loss. I will strive to help you understand and explore your feelings while processing the loss that you have experienced or are experiencing.

Together we will create a space where you can bravely experience the sometimes-uncomfortable feelings that come with personal growth.

For over the past 15 years, I have supported people who experience anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, parenting challenges and relational/developmental wounds and trauma.
I believe that everyone is doing their best at any given moment and that everyone has the ability to heal. Many people I work with are tired of old patterns of behaviours, thoughts and beliefs interfering in their lives. They hold a curiosity about wanting to learn more about their emotions, relationships with others and their inner world. With compassion, I support individuals to engage in exploring how such patterns, thoughts and beliefs are held within the body, impacting their relationship with themselves and others.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals through their healing process with trauma/PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and emotion dysregulation.
Each one of us has an innate capacity to heal. It is a common, human experience to feel stuck at times, as if something from the past isn’t ready for us to move forward. This stagnancy brings many people to therapy. It is my belief that with a therapist who is able to connect with your needs, that part of yourself can feel ready to move into a place of healing. I believe this shift happens within relationships built on trust and connection. My approach is to build this space collaboratively, compassionately, and with non-judgement to support you in witnessing and processing distressing life experiences, emotions, and beliefs.

There’s a lot that holds us back from trying therapy. We may think we need a serious problem to see a therapist. But therapy is for everyone. Because, as humans, we experience sadness, grief, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. The only qualification to go to therapy is to be human. You may ask, why not talk to a friend? Because friends aren’t properly trained to listen. And the healing begins the moment you feel properly heard. As you attend therapy, patterns emerge, insights appear, wounds open up, and traumas are acknowledged. Going to therapy is an investment in your human potential and betterment. It is a sign of sanity.

It is so difficult living in a world that wasn’t made for you - that wasn’t made for so many of us. Your life has been very different than those around you, and you’re tired of trying to explain because you’re met with confusion, misunderstanding, or even hostility. Maybe you’re deep in depression, frozen with anxiety, haunted by intrusive memories of past abuse, or trapped in a currently abusive environment. Maybe you’re living as someone you know in your heart you aren’t, or maybe you’ve found yourself, but others have been slow to accept it. Maybe you’re trapped by your own or others’ expectations, feeling like you can’t breathe.

As a psychotherapist, with a somatic and psychodynamic orientation, I seek to support people in finding greater freedom, creativity, compassion, empowerment and aliveness in their lives. I believe the antidote to emotional struggles is finding a sense of vitality. Listening, identifying and staying with one's emotional world is the key to self awareness. As a psychotherapist my greatest task is to listen with compassion, for people to speak their deeper truths and to help them find an alternative pathways in living a life that expresses their authenticity and how to contribute with meaning in the world.

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.
