Grief and Loss Counselling in Grande Prairie, AB.

Loss is a natural part of life, but rarely easy to face. We can experience grief around many different circumstances, including death of people and pets, moving, job loss, illness, regretted decisions, separation/divorce, abuse, trauma and life transitions (including positive ones like marriage, new baby, new job, etc.) While the past cannot be undone, counselling can help you move forward by facing and releasing emotions, adjusting to the new reality, reclaim your wholeness and possibly even discovering hidden blessings.

While grief and transition are a natural part of life, we are still often overwhelmed by sadness, anger and all the confusing emotions that come with loss. There is no right or wrong way to grieve—just your body and mind doing what it can to process the pain of major life change and the loss of how things were. Working with me means compassionate care that helps you to approach and feel your feelings in a safe way, taking things one step at a time. I promise you that all grief can be transformed into a gentle honouring of who or what was lost. I would be happy to team up with you in your journey towards peace and acceptance.

We all need help sometimes. While asking for help isn't always easy, the process of opening up can be transformative and deeply healing. I recognize the power that comes with openly and honestly discussing issues, identifying unique goals, and working as a team to address them in a non-judgemental and anti-oppressive environment. I use an authentic, genuine, and down-to-earth clinical approach to help clients address and ultimately move past issues towards more fulfilling, connected, and meaningful lives. I feel strongly that therapy should not be one-size-fits-all, and he actively and continuously works with and listens to clients to best understand their needs, priorities, and values.
