Grief & Loss
Grief can arrive quietly or all at once, and it doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. It may follow the death of a loved one or a pet, a pregnancy or perinatal loss, the end of a relationship, or the loss of an identity you once held.
Sometimes grief comes from what didn’t happen - the life you imagined, the version of yourself you thought you’d be, or the future that feels suddenly uncertain. Whatever your loss, grief has a way of touching every part of your emotional world.
Grief and loss may show up as:
Waves of sadness, numbness, or emotional heaviness that come and go
Feeling disconnected from yourself, others, or your sense of purpose
Difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions
Guilt, anger, or “what if” thoughts that feel hard to quiet
Anxiety or fear about future losses or changes
Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy
A sense of identity loss or feeling unsure of who you are now
Grief resurfacing during pregnancy, postpartum, or other life transitions
Perinatal grief can be especially complex and isolating. This may include miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, infertility, traumatic birth experiences, or grief after a difficult postpartum period. These losses are often invisible to others, yet deeply felt, and they deserve care, space, and compassion.
How will I help?
In individual therapy, we move at your pace. There is no timeline, no “right way” to grieve, and no pressure to feel better before you’re ready. Together, we create space to honour your loss while gently supporting you in reconnecting with yourself and your life.
Our work may include:
Making sense of your grief experience without minimizing or rushing it
Processing complex emotions such as guilt, anger, relief, or shame
Supporting perinatal grief and reproductive loss with sensitivity and care
Exploring identity shifts after loss, relationship changes, or life transitions
Learning how to set boundaries while grieving and navigating others’ expectations
Using trauma-informed therapy and EMDR to process overwhelming or stuck grief
Strengthening emotional regulation and coping tools for daily life
Therapy can help you carry your grief in a way that feels more grounded and less overwhelming, allowing space for both loss and meaning to coexist. You don’t have to move on from what you’ve lost to move forward with support.

You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or deeply impacted by past experiences, trauma therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life..
