Grief and Loss
Counselling for
When your world is shattered, and you’re searching for solid ground, here is a space to anchor.
You Might Be Here Because...
You feel isolated, like you’re in a different reality from everyone else
Your emotions are intense, numb, or unpredictable, and you’re not sure what’s normal
The world expects you to carry on, but you don’t know how
You’re managing the outside world, but inside, everything feels chaotic
You don’t recognize yourself anymore
You feel like you’re struggling more than you “should”
You don’t feel safe or understood sharing your feelings with others
You know you are supposed to “feel your emotions” but what does that even mean?
Loss happens every day, sometimes on a small scale, and sometimes in doses so big it overwhelms. Grief is a natural, deeply personal response to the loss of someone or something significant. We tend to think of grief in relation to death, but often shows up in other losses such as a break up, job loss, health decline, life milestones, disasters, traumas, or the realization that certain dreams are no longer possible. Some losses are intangible or ongoing, like in cases of estrangement or caring for someone experiencing substance use, dementia, or severe illness. The loss makes the grief and each one deserves its own space to be seen and held.
Groups and Workshops
As a counsellor and certified grief educator, I can provide grief support groups and tailored workshops for organizations. These sessions provide a safe and supportive space for people to move through the grief journey in community with others. If you’re interested in learning more, I’d be happy to connect.
Some things cannot be fixed. They can only be carried.

How I Can Support You
Whether your loss is more subtle or life-shattering, I welcome the full flavour of your grief. With specialized training in grief & loss and experience in bereavement support, I will hold a safe and compassionate space for all of your grieving parts, however they express themselves–the tender, messy, rageful, numb, guilty, and defiant ones. Sometimes just naming that grief is present can be a powerful act of validation and self-care.
In our sessions, you will not be forced to let go, move on, minimize, fix it or sanitize your emotions. Instead, we gently explore:
What you’re experiencing
What has changed in your life
What your grief means to you
Sometimes, simply acknowledging and naming your grief can be a powerful act of validation and self-care.
What You Can Expect
I can help you:
Understand your grief process and find ways to cope
Process complex emotions like shock, anger, guilt, longing, or loneliness
Name and honor what you’ve lost
Feel seen, heard, and validated in your experience
Explore how past losses and trauma affect your current feelings
Address unresolved issues or pain
Discover new meaning and a sense of acceptance over time
Meeting You Where You Are
The ache of grief can be brutal. But together we can meet it with tenderness and allow a new and true reality to emerge at its own pace.
