Loss and change aren’t always things others can see — a death, a move, a breakup, becoming a parent, caring for someone you love, or simply stepping into a new stage of life. We’ll make room for the grief and help you find your footing in the next chapter. In person in North York or online across Ontario.
We usually think of grief as what follows a death — and it is. But grief is the natural response to any significant loss: a relationship ending, a move, a job, a diagnosis, a version of the future you were counting on. Even welcome changes — like becoming a parent, or stepping into the role of caring for someone you love — can carry a quiet grief for the life you’re leaving behind.
Some of these losses are ones the world doesn’t fully recognize — what’s sometimes called ‘disenfranchised grief.’ When others don’t see your loss as one, you can end up carrying it alone, wondering why you feel so unmoored.
Grief doesn’t follow a tidy timeline or neat ‘stages.’ Therapy isn’t about rushing you through it — it’s about making room for what you feel, and, when you’re ready, helping you find your footing in a chapter that looks different from the one you planned.
Warm, attachment-based support that honours your loss and helps you re-find meaning, gently.
A space to feel what you feel — without being hurried, fixed, or told how you ‘should’ be coping by now.
We give the loss its due, including the losses others don’t recognize, so you’re not carrying it alone.
Grief lives in the body too. Somatic work helps with the waves, the heaviness, and the exhaustion of it.
When you’re ready, we gently explore who you are in this next chapter, and where meaning might live now.
Grief wears many faces. If some of this resonates, you don’t have to navigate the change alone.
There’s no wrong way to grieve, and no schedule you’re failing to keep. We start wherever you are.
Grief doesn’t follow a neat timeline, and not every loss is one the world recognizes. This is space to feel what you feel without being hurried through it — to have your loss honoured rather than minimized.
And, when you’re ready, we gently explore your footing in a chapter that looks different from the one you planned — who you are now, what still holds meaning, and how to carry both the loss and your life forward together.
No agenda but yours — a steady companion through the loss and what comes after.
A gentle hello. You can share as little or as much about your loss as you’d like.
We create space for the grief — no rushing, no fixing, just being met where you are.
We work with the emotion, the body, and the meaning, at whatever pace feels right.

When you’re unsure who you are in the next phase of your life.
Every stage of life asks something new of us — and caring for someone you love can quietly reshape who you are. This is space for that, too.
Caring for an aging parent, a partner, or a child with extra needs is an act of love that can quietly cost you. The exhaustion, the resentment you feel guilty for, the loneliness of it, and the anticipatory grief of watching someone change — it all deserves a place to be heard, without judgment. You can pour from a fuller cup when yours is tended to as well.
The joy and the overwhelm of new parenthood — and a quiet grief for the life before.
Raising young kids while slowly losing track of your own needs and identity.
Caring for aging parents and your own children at once, with little left for you.

Wherever you are on the path — and whoever you’re carrying — you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Neither. Some people reach out in the raw early days; others come months or years later when grief resurfaces or finally has room to be felt. There’s no schedule you’re failing to keep — whenever you feel the pull to talk, that’s the right time.
Absolutely. Grief is the natural response to any significant loss — a breakup, a move, a job, a diagnosis, a friendship, a future you expected. Losses the world doesn’t fully recognize can be especially lonely, and they’re every bit as valid to bring to therapy.
Yes. I work with clients in person in North York and online by secure video anywhere in Ontario. Many people find it comforting to grieve from the safety of their own space.
No — and that’s not the goal. We don’t aim to erase your grief or rush you past it. Instead, we make room for it, honour what you’ve lost, and gently help you carry both the loss and your life forward. The love doesn’t disappear; it finds a place to live.
There’s no set timeline — grief is deeply personal. Some people come for a focused period of support; others stay through a longer transition. We follow your pace and revisit what feels helpful as we go.

Numbness is a very common grief response — sometimes the nervous system’s way of protecting you when feelings are too big. Feeling ‘nothing,’ or strangely ‘fine,’ doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you or that you’re grieving incorrectly. We can gently work with that too.
Yes. Caring for an aging parent, a partner, or a child with extra needs can leave you depleted, isolated, and carrying guilt for having your own needs. We make space for the exhaustion, the resentment you may feel guilty for, and the anticipatory grief of watching someone you love change — so you’re not holding it all alone.
