Grief Support
Grief Support for Adults, Young Adults & Teens (16+)
Individual Grief Support for Adults, Teens & Young Adults: in person and virtual
Group Grief Support for Young Adults & Teens (16+): in person
As someone who knows the loneliness of loss, I offer a safe, compassionate space for you to bring your grief, exactly as it is. No timelines. No pressure.
Grief and loss are areas of special focus in my practice. As a widower, former caregiver, and someone who has supported my own children through grief, I understand grief from the inside out. I also bring personal experience of parental loss and anticipatory grief. I support clients in all stages of grief; whether you are facing a terminal diagnosis in the family, adjusting to life after a significant loss, or supporting your child, teenager or young adult through their own grieving process.
Grief affects the whole mind and body.
You may feel irritable, exhausted, unable to concentrate or remember things, more anxious, sad, angry, indifferent. It may be hard to be with other people. It may be a struggle to find motivation and meaning.
These experiences can feel overwhelming, scary and lonely. Together, we can create space for all of this — to name what you’re going through, to ease the weight where we can, and to walk with your grief in a way that honours both your loss and your own pace.

Coverage may be listed under social work, registered social work, counselling, psychotherapy, or mental health services. Please check with your provider for details.
