Grief Therapists in Quebec
Although my specialties are in youth work, grief, and general mental health - my client-centred holistic approach can be of benefit to a myriad of experiences.
Although I have a particular affinity for working with children & adolescents due to my initial training as a creative arts therapist (allowing for both direct and indirect approaches to difficulty) - at this point in time I work with all demographics, ages and needs within the ‘neuro-typical and atypical spectrum’. Suffering and dis-ease is something that we all share in common, and due to my approach being rooted in an embodied, mindful-compassionate, client-centred collaborative approach, sessions can be relevant to a variety of experiences, i.e. awareness breeds understanding which can facilitate action to find healing.

I work with adults navigating some of life's most demanding passages — trauma, grief, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and major transitions.
My approach is integrative and evidence-informed, drawing on methods tailored to each client's needs and history. I place particular emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for change — believing that insight, trust, and genuine collaboration are what allow growth to take root and endure.

Life inevitably brings change, and with change often comes grief—not only the grief of losing someone we love, but also the quieter grief of transitions, disappointments, or letting go of what we thought life would look like.
With 16 years of experience as a clinical social worker in hospital and community settings, I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, caregiver burnout, stress and major life transitions. I have a special interest in grief in all its forms, including perinatal loss and infertility, but I also work broadly with those navigating life’s challenges.

Maybe you've always been "too much" - too sensitive, too intense, never quite fit in. Or you've felt like "not enough" - disconnected, numb, living in your head while your body holds what you won't feel. You're exhausted. Big emotions, CPTSD, burnout, PMDD, codependency, people-pleasing, trying to figure out where you end and others begin. Maybe you're neurodivergent and tired of fighting your brain. You've done therapy before. You understand yourself deeply, maybe too well, but nothing's changing. You can explain your patterns but you're stuck in the same cycles. You need something different that actually meets you where you are.

I treat anxiety and mood disorders whether during pregnancy or once the baby is born, and I also offer support and counselling to women and families who have experienced pregnancy or baby loss.

Whichever situation you are facing, I can offer you both individualized support or in a group setting so that you don't feel alone and isolated in your current struggle.

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.
