My Approach

My work as a psychotherapist centers on helping people move through grief in a way that is both deeply human and clinically grounded. I understand grief not as something to “fix,” but as an experience to be witnessed, integrated, and carried with greater ease over time. Whether your loss is recent or long held, I provide a space where the full complexity of your experience—sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, and even moments of relief or confusion—can be explored without judgment.

I take a holistic approach, recognizing that grief lives not only in thoughts, but in the body, relationships, and sense of meaning. Our work together may include evidence-based modalities such as Narrative Therapy to help you re-author your story, Internal Family Systems to understand and care for the different parts of you, trauma-informed approaches to gently process overwhelming experiences, and mindfulness practices to build awareness and regulation. I also incorporate journaling and reflective exercises to deepen insight between sessions.

Clients often find that this work goes beyond coping—it becomes a process of reconnecting with themselves, making sense of what has happened, and finding a way forward that honours both their loss and their life.
