A divorce or death of a loved one is a crisis that changes and challenges the meaning of your life and sense of self. This can result in deep sadness, confusion, disorientation and disbelief. Therapy offers you the opportunity to move through your grief more quickly. You can experience a sense of peace and hope for the future. You can learn to cherish and find comfort in his/her memory. Therapy can help you redefine your place in the world and learn to be without him/her.

So many of the losses we experience come suddenly; our life changes in an instant from what it used to be. All of us experience this at times; sometimes in waves and torrents it seems will sink us. We have all either had, or will have, our sufferings. I endeavor to help by finding resiliency, coming to terms with what is, and discovering renewed purpose beyond the depth of real loss.

Losing a loved one through death, illness or estrangement, or experiencing a major life event or change can have debilitating affects related to loss. If you feel numb, events seem surreal, or anger, sadness or fear wash over you when least expected, you are normal. I will support you as you identify the affect of loss on your life, and offer tools to sort out the chaos of emotions to restore some joy in life.

Death is something that seems far from us. However, sometimes, it could happen so suddenly and so close to us. To help my clients process their grief and loss, I encourage them to talk about how it felt and looked like in their relationship and talk about their rememberable stories. At the same time, it could be a chance for my client to reflect on the meaning of life and death and what they believe about “after death” spiritually. Empty chair, secret letter, and personal ceremony are the interventions I may use in grief and loss therapy.

There are many losses that we encounter in life, and unless we fully complete our grieving process, these losses can show up in other areas of our life. Incomplete grief can affect our intimate relationships, our friendships, our job performance, and how we relate to ourselves. If you are struggling to come to terms with a loss that you've experienced, therapy can help you. Free yourself from unprocessed grief by working with a skilled professional who can help you uncover what is keeping you stuck. It's normal to be deeply affected by loss, and to grieve is a normal part of live, but if you are not able to come to terms with the loss, reach out for help and find relief.

Loss can come in many forms. We often think of loss as the death of a loved one. It can also refer to the loss of a sense of safety/security (common with trauma), physical ability, relationship, or previously held beliefs. Loss may be further complicated depending on the way in which it was experienced. Within an emotionally-safe atmosphere without judgement, you can expect to feel heard by someone who is fully present for you and able to offer education and support about your experience as well as guidance with day-to-day activities during times when motivation is scarce and avoidance is high. By learning to share your narrative you will be able to hold your memories without suffering.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

No two people's grief is the same. Everyone deserves the respect to journey through the valley of grief in a way that is suiting to their needs. Family, friends and neighbors often do well at soothing and comforting the one stricken by grief, but sometimes they are not enough or they seem awkward or even make blunders. It's not unusual to need professional help. We offer a calming presence, guidance through the tasks involved in living with loss and sadness, and the hopeful discovery of meaning and purpose in your life.

Grief is a process we will all encounter at one point in our lives-whether it be the loss of a loved one through death, the end of a relationship, the loss of a livelihood or a dream, the deterioration of health, or any such experience that leaves us feeling raw pain and anguish in our body. There is a common misconception that if we just charge through suffering-efficiently sidestepping the pain-we will move beyond in a timely manner. Believing 'what we resist, persists', I work with clients to create space and capacity to process the grief-both honoring and containing the pain, mobilizing strengths and resources, and enlisting self compassion.

We all experience loss in many areas of our lives. The loss of loved ones, loss of pets, transitions in our lives, health related issues, and changes beyond our control. It is challenging to navigate these losses and resulting grief on our own. Losing someone or something you love or care deeply about is very painful. You may experience all kinds of difficult emotions and it may feel like the pain and sadness you're experiencing will never leave. These are normal reactions to a significant loss. As a counselor therapist I will join you in your journey as you endeavour to bring balance and equilibrium back to your life.

Life can be very unfair at times. We all have losses that occur at various times. They may really throw us. Our perspectives and coping can be really stretched. My belief is that an unbiased professional can help give that perspective. I can help walk alongside when the pain is so deep. I can help educate and help clients walk through the stages of grief, normalizing feelings and helping them cope. I believe that each person grieves differently. Some seem to get on with life quickly, while others seem to struggle longer. Both are "right." I can help make the transition slightly less painful and possibly a bit less lengthy.

Losing someone in your life can be acutely painful regardless of whether you had a positive or a complicated relationship with the person. While grief is not limited to losing a person, losing a loved-one is often particularly complicated because it can leave you with feelings of guilt and confusion, especially if the relationship was complicated. You might feel a mix of guilt and relief, making it hard to even talk about the loss and grief. I often use EMDR alongside talk therapy to help my clients process grief and loss, including complex grief from childhood attachment wounds and traumas. EMDR can be so helpful because it helps process the grief at the body level.
