Loss is a universal experience, and yet, for many of us, we soon discover that we are very alone within our grief. Friends and family may not understand; for many reasons, they may not be able to hold space for all that we carry. Mourning Breaks is a place for you to feel, and express all that you feel, without judgment or expectation; a place to safely explore the meaning and impact of your losses with a trusted, trauma-informed, knowledgeable, and empathetic professional who is sensitive to the many nuances, complexities and unique features that exist within your grief.

My specialities include helping people improve their depression symptoms, overcome challenging childhood experiences, and processing grief and trauma.
Accepting new clients! The first 30-minute session is free for new clients. Do you need help improving your depression symptoms? The generic self-care tips (think bubble baths, journaling and cups of tea) aren't working for you. Do you feel disconnected from your family or friends, and unsure of who you are anymore. Do you use social media or avoidance to cope with these feelings? They likely left you feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, and overstimulated. As someone who understands how you feel, I want to help you feel excited about life again!

Along with being a general intern therapist, I am a certified grief counsellor.
Can I just say how proud I am of you! Looking for a therapist means you have acknowledged that there is some part of your life that could use a change. Fabulous! I love working with people who, quite frankly, have been through some pretty hard stuff and know that it has had a not-so-great impact on the way they think and act. The one thing I hold true above all else is that a person only starts thriving when they feel safe. Don't have a safe person? I am so here for you!

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.
