Just be yourself - they say. Sounds easy. If it was that easy, you wouldn't be here and neither would I. Your job is to just be you.. do you. And doing that task justice is the hardest thing in the world. It would seem we need a trusted alliance, to help us become what we’re meant to be. That's my job.. no.. calling. And I'm honoured to help. My approach is sort of old school. It understands that dreams, no matter how strange they seem, are nevertheless the Psyche's code for letting us know who we truly are. Not just dreams, anything that lies outside of the ego's domain is helpful.

This hectic and at times uncertain life can feel overwhelming. When we lack grounding and direction it can feel like we will lose control of our emotions and ourselves. I practice counseling from a non-judgmental and acceptance based perspective where we can use your strengths, past lived experiences and new skills developed during the therapeutic relationship to move through the hard times and achieve your goals. My approach is to support you to identify the habits and patterns in relationships with yourself and others that may not be serving you and with this new awareness move towards your valued goals. EFT and EMDR Certified.

In the past 10 years in the field, I have developed interest in helping people with emotional understanding and regulation, trauma/PTSD treatment and interpersonal challenges. If you are looking to make changes to how you respond to or express your emotions, we would be a good fit. If you are want to manage your trauma symptoms rather than having them manage you, we would be a good fit. If you are someone who wants to develop further insight and understanding in order to move forward, we would be a good fit.

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.
