About
Are you grieving the loss of someone or something special in your life? Do you feel alone and lost in your grief? Grief can be incredibly painful, disruptive, and confusing. You may feel “broken” or think you are doing it all wrong. Maybe you are unsure of how to heal from such deep pain and how to manage this difficult, often isolating, experience.
I’m Andrea (she/her), a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist in Toronto who can support you to navigate this painful time. I provide grief counselling and psychotherapy to individuals and families coping with grief, loss, and life transitions. I focus on supporting those who have experienced sudden, unexpected, and out-of-order loss. I work from a trauma-informed, Intersectional, Feminist, Anti-Racist, Anti-Oppressive, and LGBTQ2S-Allied perspective and see clients in-person in Toronto and virtually throughout Ontario. Together we can find a way for you to heal and to integrate your grief into your life.
We all grieve uniquely and our experience is deeply affected by our social location and history of loss. Grief impacts us mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. My goal is to provide a supportive environment for you to explore and express your grief, in ways that make sense for you, and at your own pace.
I use multiple therapeutic modalities and work from a trauma-informed, Anti-Oppressive framework. I have experienced multiple personal losses; the most significant being the deaths of my parents in the Indian Ocean Tsunami. Through my own healing process, I have found my way to walking alongside others in their grief.
