Hello, I’m Adriana a compassionate and experienced art therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate their grief, loss, trauma and anxiety.
Words can sometimes feel inadequate to express the depth of emotions tied to grief and trauma. Art therapy offers an alternative pathway—a non-verbal, creative means of exploring and understanding your inner world. We might use drawing, painting, or other creative methods to help unlock and process emotions that may feel stuck, many find this healing.

I've worked with a range of people, including those experience burnout, grief, addiction depression and anxiety and existential dread.
Life sucks. At least it does sometime, and that's OK. Maybe you're feeling stressed, or backed in a corner, perhaps your career or relationship isn't where you'd like. Or perhaps you are terrified of the future. Whatever is troubling you, let's explore it. Together we can understand your life today and how it does or doesn't serve you. And we can explore your life then, and how it affects you today.

I am informed by my professional learning as integrative counsellor, as well as my values and lived experience of bereavement, loss, migration, and single parenting.
Feeling anxious, stuck or overwhelmed can be a lonely and confusing place. Often, we fear being a burden or being judged - an inside voice saying 'my problems aren't big enough' or 'others have it worse'. Perhaps you’re finding it hard to sleep at night, feeling overwhelmed by a constant sense of anxiety, or breaking into tears without knowing why. Being properly supported through therapy can bring relief, better understanding of your needs and change of perspective. Together, we will work on developing tools that lead to greater confidence, improving relationships, and finding a renewed sense of purpose and control in your life.

Perhaps you are looking for some help with issues of anxiety or depression, which are affecting your day to day life. You might be feeling a bit hopeless, tired and are looking for change. Do you ask yourself: 'is this all there is?' Are you feeling a sense of loss of who you used to be or would like to be and are curious to see if therapy could help? Loss can be central to many of our issues. Loss of identity or from an actual bereavement or loss of purpose in life. Is there a voice inside stopping you from living a fulfilling life and you want to talk to someone, without feeling judged, to help you make sense of your life.

Bereavement 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.
