Welcome. Thank you for considering the opportunity for us to work together. I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and a Canadian Certified Counsellor. I specialize in counselling for bereavement, loss, and grief. Particular areas of focus are: death and dying, traumatic grief, suicide bereavement, pregnancy loss, pet loss, anticipatory grief, nonfinite loss, and ecological grief. Grief is our natural response to the loss or anticipated loss of someone or something that matters to us. Surviving grief is an adaptive process of learning to live in a world that has been changed by our losses.
Following my doctorate in 2012, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in end-of-life care, grief, and bereavement in the USA. Through my experiences in community, educational, and private settings, I have had the privilege to support many diverse persons in their grief journeys. My counselling approach is characterized by empathy, compassion, and integrity.
I work from an integrative and resilience-informed theoretical orientation, drawing from grief and bereavement research and evidence-based practices. Through use of these emotional, cognitive, and body-focused modalities, I strive to gain a comprehensive understanding of your grief, your resources, and pathways to rebuilding. I look forward to connecting.
