Grief is the emotional suffering we feel when we lose something or someone important to us. This can include the loss of friend, partner, or family member, a change in life circumstances, death of a pet, getting fired, loss of health, safety, a dream... anything that we once had and now do not. The intensity and process can be unique for each person, but like all other emotions that impact the quality of our life, ignoring it or suppressing it does not work.

A skilled therapist can assist us during this vulnerable time.

Loss is something we all face, and can be the most difficult and isolating time of your life. Whether facing the loss of a loved one, career, marriage, or any significant part of your life, we can help. We take a different approach with grief and loss than other types of therapy, as we help you process the loss and the feelings, rather than target any emotional changes.

There are many forms of loss we encounter in life - relationships, places, work, meaningful engagements, roles at work or at home, etc. The deeper any of these mean to us, the harder it can be to process the loss. I offer a place to sit with loss, to explore what's going on with it, to learn what's normal & what to expect in this type of journey. Grief has it's own schedule, it's important to honour this, and to grieve well.

You can trust men to help you work through the process of grieving at your own pace and in your own way, by being there for you each step of the way.
