Grief and loss are normal, universal emotional experiences, but there is a tendency to get stuck in depression or anxiety rather than feel the sadness involved with loss. That’s understandable, because suffering is painful and difficult to bear alone. A therapist can support an individual with strategies for finding hope that a broken heart will mend. The aim is to build trust that, by allowing the expression of these feelings, the energy spent on suffering can be freed and reinvested back into creating a fulfilling life. As you do with a broken shoulder, you pay attention to the pain and attend to it in healthy ways while nature takes its course, allowing broken bones or hearts to heal.

Grief is a natural process that feels completely unnatural and so unwanted. We often have thoughts or expectations around grief, mostly that we want it to go away. Therapy can help us process the different stages of grief, and move towards a space of acceptance and peace with our loss. The process of grief is not linear, and coming to terms and understanding our unique ways of grieving can be a path towards healing.

Grief is a potential reaction to a loss of any kind whether through death, divorce, abandonment, separation, job loss, illness, disease diagnosis, kids leaving home, etc. Feelings of anger, resentment, shame, confusion, isolation or abandonment can result. Friends and family may not know what to say or how to provide support. A trained professional, who is profoundly sympathetic, respectful and empathetic, with the skills required to help one navigate through this difficult time, can be critical in helping one regain equilibrium.

It takes great courage to experience grief and survive loss. I can teach you how to be present to your own vast and deep emotions in a way that allows your body to release and your spirit to expand and become more through loss. Through the most difficult experiences, we discover our strength. We each have a unique path to discover. Through learning to respect our own timing, we allow ourselves to stay long enough in our sadness to develop a relationship of respect and honoring that empowers us to move on when we are ready.

Grief can feel like carrying around a heavy suitcase that clouds every aspect of your life. Though we often think about grief as stemming from the death of a loved one, grief can come from all forms of losses. Changing jobs, ending a relationship, being diagnosed with an illness, losing a pet, or even moving to a new place can cause grief. You might experience shock, anger, confusion, sadness, despair, frustration, guilt, shame, and life might feel meaningless. I work support you in unpacking the complex feelings behind grief, so that you don't have to be alone. Together, we can work to honour what you have lost, while building a path forward.

Grief, loss, and bereavement, whether it is the passing of a loved one, the end of a career, or the falling-apart of a relationship are all similar: we are losing or have lost an important part of our lives. Understanding the emotions, feelings, and behaviours we have when we experience grief and bereavement is part of helping us accept what has occurred, why we feel the way that we are feeling, and what is next for us. In working with clients on grief, loss, and bereavement it is important to understand that the way we process these experiences is unique to each person, and the pillar of respect is paramount.

If you are dealing with the loss of a loved one, whether it be from death, divorce, or other circumstances, you are on a very painful journey, one that takes some time to traverse and is not easy. It can be helpful to have someone like myself walk with you on that journey and honour your feelings of loss and sadness and, when you are ready, to help pick up the pieces and continue to live a productive and satisfying life. That does not mean you leave the past behind but that you find a way of integrating a new life with the old. Reaching out is a sign of courage and strength.

Grief and loss can be utterly overwhelming. I will help you to uncover what is getting in the way of living your optimal life and to build new skills to manage it. Through the use of acceptance and mindfulness strategies I can help clients to be fully present in the moment and to accept otherwise negative emotions. Commitment and behavior change strategies help clients to change or persist in behaviors more in line with their own values. Used together these strategies increase client’s psychological flexibility.

Grief and loss are parts of life, and yet, everyone grieves in their own way. Grief can be complicated by other conditions, most notably depression. The person’s level of dependency on the departed can also cause complications. The grieving process often involves many difficult and complicated emotions. Yet joy, contentment, and humour do not have to be a lost memory. I work with you to help you recover from grief and loss and find your way back to feeling joyful again.
