People seeking support for grief and loss, including bereavement, pet loss, anticipatory grief, and grief related to MAiD and end-of-life decisions. Many come feeling exhausted, not understood, or unsure how to adjust after loss. This may involve the death of a loved one or a beloved pet, or preparing for an anticipated loss. I support clients in making space for grief at a pace that feels safe, with no pressure to 'move on' or grieve in a specific way. We focus on emotional processing and supporting you as you navigate life after loss.
I specialize in grief and loss counselling, with a focus on bereavement, pet loss, anticipatory grief, and MAID-related grief. I also support life transitions. My approach integrates talk therapy and art-based therapy to support expression, reflection, and meaning-making. Sessions are person-centred, compassionate, and tailored to your pace and needs.
If you are carrying grief that feels heavy, confusing, or isolating, you do not have to navigate it alone. Therapy can offer a space where your experience is understood and held with care. You do not need the right words to begin. If this feels like a possible fit, you are welcome to reach out and take the next step when you are ready.
