Grief Therapy in Brooklin & Whitby, and Virtually Across Ontario

Grief therapy is a supportive, evidence‑based process that helps you understand and navigate the emotional, physical, and relational impact of loss. Loss may come from:

• the death of someone important
• the end of a relationship
• a major life change
• family estrangement
• identity shifts
• transitions that reshape your sense of self

Grief is not only about death — it’s about any experience that changes your world.

Grief can affect:

• emotions (sadness, anger, guilt, numbness)
• thoughts (rumination, confusion, “what ifs”)
• the body (fatigue, heaviness, tension)
• relationships (withdrawal, conflict, feeling misunderstood)
• identity (questioning who you are now)

There is no “right” way to grieve. Your experience is valid.

In grief therapy, we work together to:

• understand your unique grief story
• explore emotions safely and without pressure
• reduce overwhelm and emotional shutdown
• strengthen coping strategies
• reconnect with meaning, purpose, and identity
• integrate the loss into your life in a way that feels authentic

My approach blends CBT, ACT, MBCT, and psychodynamic therapy, depending on what fits your needs.

Grief often feels isolating. Therapy offers a place where:

• you don’t have to be “strong”
• your emotions are welcome
• you can slow down
• you can speak openly without worrying about burdening others
• you can explore your story with someone who listens deeply

My role is to support you with presence, respect, and genuine care.

Each session is shaped around your needs. You can expect:

• a calm, grounded environment
• space to explore your emotions without pressure
• gentle guidance and reflective questions
• practical strategies for coping
• support in rebuilding meaning and connection
• a pace that honours where you are

Grief is not something to “get over.” It is something we learn to carry differently.
