Whitehorse, YT Y1A
My theoretical orientation and clinical approach is a client-centred, strengths-based integrated cognitive behavioral therapist incorporating positive psychology with an existential and humanistic lens. I believe that everyone is resilient and has the ability to make positive changes in their lives and the lives of others. I worked for ten years with marginalized individuals involved with the justice system who have experienced trauma, loss, crisis, addictions, sexual abuse, and violence. I work from a multicultural social justice lens with children, youth, adult individuals, family and couples.

I am trained to provide therapy in Grief/Loss, Trauma/PTSD, Relationship Conflicts, and more, to give you insight into your mental health challenges and deliver strategies to provide relief.
Hello, I’m Grace with Diamond Psychology. I look forward to meeting you in person in Calgary, or virtually throughout Alberta, Yukon, and Nova Scotia. Have you ever wondered if you have Autism, ADHD or a learning disorder? Do you want to know if what you are suffering from is actually depression or anxiety? Are you curious if you have a mood disorder? Do you want to assess your child for a gifted school admission? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I can provide you with a detailed assessment to help you figure out what you are struggling with, and then create a plan to improve your mental health.

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.
