Grief Therapists in Alberta

You are searching for answers, perhaps stuck, and may feel a bit lost about how to find your way forward. You can be sensitive, intense, and passionate and you're interested in living from a place of aliveness, well-being, and spark. You may have a history of trauma, suffering, and loss and yet you are also a survivor. I look forward to working with you, attending to both the suffering and the resilience, the loss and the grace; to listening to and affirming the melody within your words. I work with several provisional and registered psychologists at Foothills Integrative Psychology and Neurotherapy. How can we help?

A warm welcome! Are you navigating a life transition, feeling disconnected from yourself and others, or struggling with anxiety/worry that keeps you from living the life you desire? Perhaps you seek to foster a life that aligns with your authentic self, but are unsure where to start? You are not alone. When women encounter adversity, the effects are often multifaceted; creating unbalance, strain on relationships, and impacting overall wellbeing. As a dedicated counsellor, I support women encountering challenges in the areas of anxiety, life transitions, trauma, relationship matters, grief/loss, and self-discovery.

Are you dealing with the loss of a loved one or a relationship? Maybe you doubt yourself or struggle with overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Are you losing sleep or withdrawing? Do you feel disconnected, empty or stuck? If you are struggling with grief, loss, stress, parenting, or pregnancy, I am here to listen without judgment. It is possible to move through your experience and feel a sense of relief from being heard and validated. You can discover inner strength and insight to find healing in your own way. I specialize in helping youth, adults, and elders reconnect with themselves and build healthy relationships after loss.

I'm dedicated to supporting you in the challenges and changes of midlife and beyond. Midlife can feel like a kind of reckoning. You contend with lost or changed relationships, difficult events, illnesses and changes in your body and mind. This season can spur a desire to return to the essence of things and root down into what matters, and to reflect on how you were raised and how it impacts you now. You may experience burnout, depression, anxiety or chronic pain. As a caregiver, you may tend to put others’ needs before your own, which can be rewarding but comes at a cost.

My counselling approach is creative and integrative. This allows me to be flexible in my work and tailor my approach to meet your unique needs. I believe strongly in every person's natural ability to heal and grow from painful feelings and life experiences. My job is to be a supportive, caring guide towards a more fulfilling life. Research shows that meaning therapeutic relationships strongly contribute to profound, long lasting change. It is important to find a therapist that you are able to genuinely connect with. My clients consistently describe me as someone that is easy to connect to and who is warm and caring.

You are an intelligent, sophisticated, and open-minded individual who is an expert on who you are. You recognize the need to talk to someone and share your troubles, thoughts, and feelings with them.

I work with individual adults across the lifespan who are interested in holistic mental health. I use mindfulness as a pillar of my practice and strive to embody this and the other Hakomi (Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy) principles of organicity, holism, non-violence, and unity. Embracing the mind-body connection may help facilitate new beginnings and lay a different foundation through noticing patterns, creating new habits, and freeing limiting beliefs. Additional specialized training and interests are in attachment theory (relationships), polyvagal theory (working with the nervous system), and post-traumatic growth and recovery.

I am passionate about supporting individuals and families to overcome pain/trauma and work towards wholeness, healing, and ultimately building lives that express their full potential.

I use an ecclectic approach including: talk therapy, Art Therapy, DBT, EMDR and mindfulness/somatic.

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 am a holistic, creative and somatic oriented counselling therapist who helps clients gently move deeper into their mental health and wellness journey. I work with clients to soothe and support their nervous system, integrate and heal trauma, find emotional regulation, heal from grief and loss, and rekindle a sense of agency in life. Whether you're experiencing cognitive, emotional or physical symptoms, my hope is that our work together can offer you a soft place to land and find solace, as well as a chance to metabolize past hurts and generate new possibilities for ease and agency in your life.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce, or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.

If you are navigating loss, trauma, transition, or other life challenges, the act of seeking help means you are on the path of transformation. When an individual chooses to invest in their life and therefore in change, my role becomes one of finding relational and creative ways to support that process. When clients feel safe in self-exploration, they can discover what is getting in the way of their growth, and it creates an awareness of, and tools for, living a different future.

Struggling with grief, trauma, or relationships? I provide tailored, empathetic guidance to navigate your unique challenges. Together, we'll explore your emotions, nurturing resilience and fostering growth. Whether it's grief, trauma, parenting, or self-discovery you seek support for, I'm here to empower you on your healing journey.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, stress, relationship issues, life/career transitions, low self-esteem, work/life imbalance, or trauma? Or are you seeking more fulfillment out of life? If so, I am here to help. I am a registered psychologist offering virtual counselling to adults (25+) in Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon. Work with me from the comfort of your home, with your pets around, and without the added time and stress of travel.

My ideal client is someone who has experienced the depth of life's challenges, perhaps grappling with Trauma, PTSD, Grief, or Relationship Issues. They could be facing anxieties, behavioral concerns, or family conflicts stemming from diverse issues. These challenges have shaped them, but they haven’t defined them. Their goal? To find clarity, healing, and empowerment. They seek a therapeutic space that is both culturally sensitive and technically adept. They want to be seen, heard, and understood. They yearn for resilience, growth, and a renewed sense of purpose.

My work with people is rooted in the belief that we all have the strength and wisdom within ourselves to make the changes we wish to see. Within the context of a safe and meaningful therapeutic relationship, new ways of being can emerge. Living more fully aligned with our values and increasing our awareness of unhelpful patterns can allow us to live a more meaningful, vibrant, and joyful life. By working collaboratively with you at your own pace, I can support you in expanding your self-awareness and changing the maladaptive beliefs or behaviours that are getting in the way of living the full and rich life that you imagine.

Whether you have been to counselling before or not, I hope to offer a safe space for you to feel heard and connected. I am passionate about helping people navigate the difficult circumstances that they are facing. I value you as the expert of your own experience and believe that you have the tools necessary to find a path to coping, healing, and growth. I would be honoured to support you to find those tools.
