With your awareness awakened,
anything is possible.
I work with adult individuals in Alberta who are seeking support because they want something different. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, feeling lost or stuck, living with grief or trauma, or are just wondering why you do the things you do, I can help. I believe we all have the strength and wisdom within ourselves to create the changes we wish to see. Sometimes we just need some guidance. By working collaboratively with you at your own pace, I can support you in expanding your self-awareness and increasing your understanding of your patterns and cycles.
Without awareness, without recognizing how our past experiences have shaped us, we live our life on autopilot and our aliveness can become dampened. By acknowledging and shifting beliefs or behaviours that no longer serve us, we can release the habits that hold us back. I know first hand that growth and healing can be uncomfortable and even painful. However, fully engaging with our own experience can bring a wisdom and richness to life, even if the emotions and sensations are dark or unpleasant.
As a therapist, I have such deep gratitude for the time I get to spend with people, supporting them as they start to create space for a life of increased meaning, joy, and chosen purpose. If any of this resonates with you, reach out for a complimentary consultation to see if we would be a good fit. I’d love to work with you.
Grief is not something we “get over” but rather a partner we spin with, honour at times, argue with at others, and lament with, as the cycles of our lives unfold.
Despite loss being an inevitable part of the human experience, most of us who have grown up in this grief phobic society are not given any kind of road map for the weird and wild landscape of grief. We end up feeling isolated, alone, and lost, when what we really need is for our grief to be witnessed and our broken heart to be held.
I support people whose worlds have been blown up by the death of someone they love. As a bereaved mom, sister, and daughter, I know the anguish of loss. I also know the courage it takes to step into that dark place and tend to our sorrow.
Everyone’s grief is completely unique, however sharing a safe space with someone who carries their own deep grief can help us to feel understood and less alone.
Grief doesn’t end and it’s not a problem to be solved, but deep healing can happen when we welcome it instead of banishing it to the shadows.
I offer individual and group therapy that can help you create a relationship with your grief so that you can ultimately live with open hearted aliveness.
One of the things that helped me the most when I was deep in grief was being with people who understood. Sharing my own sorrow and witnessing that of others was a deeply profound and healing experience. As a therapist who works with grief, I am in a very unique position because I really do get it. I have been there. That’s why I facilitate grief groups. Because I know they help.
We were never meant to be on this journey alone. Our society has taught us that we need to hide our sorrow and pretend we are ok. In this group you don’t have to pretend. You can come as you are and allow your grief to be witnessed and held by others on a similar journey.
In this 8-week group we will explore what it means to grieve, and learn new tools to help you navigate the pain of loss with bravery and hope.
But there is fruit here in the depths, gold in the shadow, a life of profound meaning, connection, beauty, and depth. One of richness and full participation.
