About me and my therapy practice
Grief can feel exhausting and all-consuming, leaving even simple tasks like reaching out to loved ones feeling overwhelming. Many people experience waves of unexpected sadness, anxiety, or emptiness that seem to appear out of nowhere—sometimes triggered by something as small as a joyful moment on the street. Sleep may become difficult, and waking up early with a heavy heart can be a common part of the experience. These emotional shifts—sadness, confusion, anger, guilt—are all natural responses to loss. While grief often feels isolating, it's important to remember you're not alone, and many people struggle with similar feelings as they try to navigate life after a loss.
I work with individuals who are experiencing grief or loss whether it's due to the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a major life transition. If you're struggling to function day to day, feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, or simply trying to make sense of what you're going through, I’m here to support you.
I have also supported clients through life transitions, relationship concerns, domestic abuse, depression and anxiety, workplace stress, low confidence, self-doubt, addictions and other mental health challenges.
I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can begin to process your feelings and make sense of your grief. Together, we can explore the emotions you're carrying, consider healthy ways to cope, support your reconnection with your inner strength, and and gently explore what a new path forward might look like for you.
Our sessions can be short-term or ongoing—it’s entirely up to you. You set the pace, and we’ll check in regularly to make sure the work feels right and make any changes you need.
Practice description
I believe you are the expert of your own lived experience, so I take a collaborative, rather than directive, approach to therapy.
Trained in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling, I place the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work. This allows me to draw from multiple modalities and tailor my approach to your unique needs. Additionally, I am trained in EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and can incorporate this if you’re interested. My approach is holistic, grounded in the belief that mind, and body are deeply connected.
My first session
I offer a free 15–20-minute phone consultation to help us determine if we’re the right fit to work together. If we decide to proceed, we can schedule your first therapy session.
Before that session, I’ll send you the therapy agreement to review. You’re welcome to ask any questions before or during our first meeting. I’ll also provide a client information form to help me get to know you better.
During the first session, we’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals for our work together. This session provides a safe and confidential space to explore your concerns and lay the foundation for our journey ahead.
