Grief can leave you breathless and overwhelmed, hitting you like a truck one moment and creeping up unexpectedly the next. On the surface you might look like you’re holding it together while you can feel misunderstood, irritable, lonely, and all-encompassing pain. Whether you’re carrying a well-known loss, like the passing of a loved one or sudden diagnosis, or less acknowledged grief, like losing a pet, an identity shift, or a sudden change, your pain is real.
My highest priority is working with you where you are at, with zero pressure to "move on/be better”. My approach combines practical skills to navigate through difficult emotions while integrating your new identity and way of living. Over time my clients feel less heavy and stuck, and able to find genuine meaning in life again
You can anticipate understanding and working with your pain through humour, compassion, and visual elements. Having a good fit is imperative: email me to book a free 15-minute consult! Please check your spam as my email responses can end up there!

We begin by collaborating on where you want to create change first. From there we learn new concepts, perspectives, and skills for navigating the world so that you feel less stuck to be the person you know you are. I use a lot of visual elements, in-session practice, and intentional action recommendations outside of session to help you get the most out of your sessions.
