Rebuilding Identity After Life Transitions, Grief, and Change (Planned or Unplanned)

I support adults navigating life transitions, including illness, grief, and key life changes. I support you in rebuilding a grounded, authentic sense of who you are when life no longer feels familiar.

This work begins with understanding what you’re grieving. Whether it’s a person, a version of yourself, or the life you imagined.

What I can support with:

• Loss of identity or feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected after a life change

• Navigating life transitions, both chosen and unexpected

• The emotional aftermath that often follows once a crisis has passed

• Changes in health, physical ability, or your sense of safety in your body

• Cancer, chronic illness, and the emotional impact that follows

• Motherhood and the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent

• Career transitions, burnout, or loss of professional identity

• Relationship changes, including separation, divorce, or shifts in connection

• Grief and loss, including the death of a loved one

Counseling Specialties- Grief and Loss (including Helping Children with Loss and Pet Loss), Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Life Transitions, Aging and Retirement.

Counseling Styles & Methods- I work from a heart and person centered space and aim to provide a calm, healing experience for clients, where they feel heard and understood. I believe in a holistic approach to well-being, as we are complex beings with varying needs. I provide support through talk therapy, utilizing a strengths-based approach to empower clients to realize their potential to overcome. I also utilize techniques such as CBT and Mindfulness to assist when it is relevant. I am intuitive in the sense that I pick up on the emotions and energies of the people around me, something I have been aware of since a young child. I have a strong sense of knowing when something is or isn’t right, which allows me to better connect with clients. In addition, I have extensive lived experience (particularly in grief and loss) that has given me the best education to support others experiencing similar situations.

About Me- I am a registered social worker in Saskatoon, with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work. I am also a certified Grief Recovery Specialist, which utilizes the Grief Recovery Method for moving beyond the pain caused by loss of any kind. I was born and raised in Saskatoon, Sk. and I am an only parent to an exceptional almost 12 year old, as well as 1 dog and 2 cats. I take pride in the life I have created for our family, following the sudden and traumatic death of my fiance Chris in 2012. I feel gratitude for the opportunity to walk along others as they navigate through loss, and other life experiences.

Counseling Specialties - Intuitive Counseling, Anxiety, Depression, Suicide Ideation, Grief and Loss, Life Transitions.

Counseling Style & Methods - I have a background in Mental Health and Addiction. Some of the techniques I utilize are Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) (thoughts, feelings and behaviours) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) (evidence based therapy-focusing on mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance and emotional regulation). I combine these techniques with intuitive abilities. I have a strong sense of knowing and feeling which helps guide my sessions. Together we will create a safe space where you feel comfortable to begin the unique process towards your healing. This deeper connection to self will allow you to become more aware of your own gifts. In time as you continue to connect inward you will experience the confidence needed to move through life’s challenges with ease. You will notice growth in new perspectives with more clarity in the direction you are meant to be going.

About Me - The more I grow as a person the more I feel honoured to walk along-side clients with true authenticity. I love life and feel most connected to my own inner spirit when I am grounded in nature and surrounded by its beauty.
