As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) & Canadian Certified Counsellor, I specialize in helping clients who may feel lost, burnt-out, overwhelmed by life, absorbed by grief, or stuck in comparison with others or where they thought they would be. I believe that change is possible, but creating a space to be heard and seen is invaluable in that process. I strive to provide a comfortable, non-judgmental environment for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings.

My approach to therapy has developed through building connections with clients that are founded on collaborative and holistic perspectives. Together, we can build upon your strengths, develop new skills, and find clarity as a way to move towards your goals. I believe people are more resilient than they think. Therefore, I see therapy as an opportunity to spotlight our strengths, find a resolution to our internal struggles, and develop new perspectives to help us move forward.

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.
