Grief Therapists in Sherwood Park, AB
I love working with trauma and have specialized experience with first responders. I get how it changes the way you think, feel and act so can work with emotional dysregulation and behavioural issues too. Addiction is common, and often a way to cope, and it's the underlying issues I enjoy nurturing and healing. At times, I work with people struggling in relationships, sometimes with themselves, or as they adjust to relational changes or losses like grief. Other times I support people as they navigate life transitions like career changes, pregnancy or parenthood, health issues or effects of aging.

I am a Registered Psychologist and have been supporting children, teens and adults in a few positions over 15 years. With this experience, I have grown a love of supporting clients that have experienced perinatal grief and mood disorders and parenting struggles/transitions, in addition to other concerns such as grief, relationship issues, and depression, anxiety and stress. My clients can expect empathy with a dose of practicality, humour and honesty. My passion is attachment-focused parenting. I understand that parenting is the most important/difficult job out there, it is my honour to help.

I support persons of all ages and histories in finding those resources that may guide them towards experiencing greater satisfaction in their daily living, sense of well-being, and in their key relationships. Using a variety of approaches, I tailor the therapeutic experience to best match each client's needs at any given point in therapy.

We all desire a life where we're not struggling with anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, trauma, setting healthy boundaries, anger, perfectionism, shame and guilt etc. Sometimes we feel no one understands! These are normal human struggles and there is no shame in talking to a professional. We seek help from doctors for physical health so why not for mental health? Healing the body, also requires healing the mind. I am also an EFT (Tapping) practitioner and I love EFT work since it has consistently been shown to be of great benefit, either as a stand-alone therapy or in addition to other modalities. Time to talk, tap or tap and talk? YES

I find that I work very well with those who have experienced abuse/trauma at any point in life and those that are suffering from grief and loss.
Waitlist Available - I aim to provide a space where I sit with, support, and at times, guide others to rediscover their most balanced selves. I specifically choose the word balanced because I understand that we cannot strive for things to be successful, or even happy, all of the time. Life will always present challenges, but I work to help my clients find the strength to meet those challenges when they arrive, to cope and find recovery when those challenges knock us down, and to soak up the moments and sense of contentment that exist when the challenges are not present (or at least are less present).

My focus and background includes working with; ADHD and emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, OCD, Exposure Response Prevention, mood disorders, grief, communication, marital/relationships, parent coaching and family dynamics.
Fear and uncertainty can often leave us feeling powerless about the direction of our lives. No matter who you are or where you begin, you have the capacity to cultivate meaningful change. Learn new skills, identify relationship dynamics, and address the patterns that leave you feeling “stuck", and you will open the door to healing, growth and secure meaningful connections. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and authentic space where you can confront difficult experiences and navigate complex emotions with acceptance and understanding.

Working with individuals struggling with feelings of anxiety, loneliness, grief, shame, fear, anger, and hurt.
As a registered professional counsellor, I believe everyone has their own solutions to their problems and need a safe space to explore feelings and beliefs in order to come to a clearer understanding. I work with people who are frustrated with part of their life and have a strong willingness to try new things, get to know themselves better, and let go of patterns that no longer serve them. Working with someone who is confidential, compassionate and non-judgmental allows us the freedom to make long lasting change and regain a sense of empowerment in ourselves and our lives.

Grief Counsellors
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
