All sessions are 50 minutes, in person in Toronto or by secure video call across Ontario.
Grief therapy for the loss of a spouse, parent, or someone important to you. Support to process your grief, navigate multiple losses, and work through what feels complicated or unresolved. A space to feel understood, find your footing, and make meaning of your loss.
A supportive, non-judgemental space to explore what you’re experiencing and better understand yourself, your emotions, and the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships and life. We’ll work together to create greater clarity, self-understanding, and meaningful change.
We all have parts of ourselves that show up in different ways — the inner critic, the part that tries to keep everyone happy, or the part that feels overwhelmed. IFS helps you understand these parts, where they come from, and what they may need, so you can respond to yourself with greater curiosity and compassion.
I'm not the kind of therapist who sits quietly and nods for fifty minutes. I'm warm, curious, and genuinely glad to know you. Before this work, I spent twenty years in education, and I bring real experience with grief, parenting, and family dynamics into every session.
I hold a Master's in Counselling Psychology and I'm a certified Grief Educator, but my own experience with loss taught me just as much. Healing can include humour and hope, too. Every part of you is welcome here.
I am warm, compassionate, funny (at appropriate moments), and easy to talk to. I bring genuine interest and thoughtful questions to my work with clients, while making room for different perspectives and experiences.
WARM, CURIOUS & DOWN-TO-EARTH
My own experiences with grief, parenting, and significant life changes have shaped how I understand loss and the complicated feelings that can come with it. They’ve also given me a deeper appreciation for how difficult it can be to find your footing when life changes or when you’ve been carrying too much for too long.
I GET IT.
We all have beliefs, identities, experiences, and patterns that shape how we see ourselves and the world. We may also have fears, difficult emotions, and coping mechanisms we’ve developed to manage what’s hard—even when they’re no longer helpful. These are welcome in therapy and can be explored with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment.
THIS IS A WELCOMING SPACE.
