Finding your way through grief shouldn’t be a solitary journey. As someone who’s walked this path both personally and professionally, I offer specialized counselling to help you navigate loss and find hope, one step at a time.
As a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with both Bachelor and Master of Social Work degrees (BSW, MSW), and active registration with the Ontario College of Social Workers (OCSWSSW), I blend professional expertise with deep personal understanding. My years of dedicated hospice experience have equipped me to support individuals facing terminal illness, guide caregivers, and help people navigate all forms of grief and transition. Having walked this path myself as both a caregiver and someone who has experienced significant loss, I bring not just qualifications but genuine empathy to every session.
Every loss transforms our world in unique and profound ways, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a significant relationship, or a life-altering transition. Through personalized counselling sessions, I create a safe, nurturing space where you can process your grief, express your emotions, and begin to envision a path forward.
Together, we’ll honor your journey through loss while developing practical tools and understanding to help you navigate this challenging time, whether you’re dealing with bereavement, relationship endings, career transitions, fertility loss, or family changes.
Living with or caring for someone facing a life-limiting diagnosis brings unique emotional challenges that require specialized support and understanding. As someone who has been both a professional caregiver and walked alongside family members during terminal illness, I offer comprehensive support that adapts to your specific situation, including in-home visits and family counselling sessions. My approach focuses on providing practical coping strategies while creating space for the complex emotions that arise during these profound life experiences.
Walking alongside you through every step of your healing journey, I ensure that no matter how difficult the path becomes, you’ll never have to navigate it alone, because having someone who truly understands can make all the difference.
Every person’s experience with grief is as unique as their relationship with what was lost, which is why I honor your individual journey without expecting it to follow a predetermined path.
Meeting you exactly where you are—whether that’s in your home, through virtual sessions, or in my office—I adapt my support to match your specific needs while providing consistent, compassionate care.

Most insurance providers cover counselling services provided by a Master of Social Worker (MSW). I directly bill to Green Shield, and for other providers, please check your specific policy coverage. I’m happy to provide any documentation you need for reimbursement.
There’s no ‘right’ time to seek support – you can reach out immediately after a loss or months/years later. Everyone’s grief journey is unique, and support is available whenever you feel ready to take that step.
Your first session is a gentle, pressure-free conversation where we discuss your needs and concerns. It’s an opportunity for you to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, and for us to determine how I can best support you.
No, grief counselling can help with many types of loss, including relationship endings, career changes, health diagnoses, and major life transitions. All forms of grief are valid and deserve support.
Session frequency is tailored to your needs and circumstances. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others prefer bi-weekly or monthly meetings. We’ll work together to determine a schedule that best supports your healing journey.
Reaching out takes courage, and I’m here to make that first step as comfortable as possible. Whether you’re ready to begin counselling or just want to learn more, I’m available to address your questions and concerns with the care and understanding you deserve.
Providing compassionate, professional grief counselling and support, specializing in loss, life transitions, and caregiver support, helping you find your path with understanding and hope.
