Support for Those Facing Death-and Those Walking Beside Them
Serving Toronto, the GTA, and all of Ontario (virtual and in-person options available)
Facing the end of life-your own or someone else's-is unlike anything else. Time takes on a different shape. Conversations become heavier. Questions you've avoided for years may suddenly surface.
Whether you're living with a terminal illness, caring for someone who is dying, or anticipating a loss that hasn't happened yet, you don't have to carry the emotional weight alone.
I offer therapy to help individuals and caregivers navigate the emotional, relational, and spiritual layers of this time. This includes exploring legacy, creating meaningful rituals, and finding ways to stay connected-before and after death.
This Work Is For You If…
- You or someone you love has received a terminal diagnosis, and you're unsure how to emotionally prepare
- You're overwhelmed by caregiving and wondering how to be present without losing yourself
- You're trying to have honest conversations about death, but don't know where to start
- You want to create a meaningful goodbye-or stay connected after they're gone
- You're feeling the emotional toll of anticipatory grief, even while your person is still here
What Therapy Can Help With
🕯️ Legacy and Meaning-Making
- Reflecting on what matters most in this final chapter
- Creating keepsakes, memory projects, letters, or spiritual legacies
- Making sense of your life story-or theirs-before goodbye
💬 Communication and Relationship Support
- Talking openly about fears, regrets, gratitude, and love
- Navigating difficult family dynamics during end-of-life
- Finding ways to stay emotionally connected while setting healthy boundaries
🌿 Ritual, Ceremony, and Ongoing Connection
- Planning rituals, farewells, or commemorations that feel right for you
- Exploring spiritual or symbolic ways to maintain connection after death
- Honouring both the sacredness and the messiness of this time
🧭 Emotional Grounding for the Road Ahead
- Making space for complex feelings: anger, guilt, numbness, hope
- Finding presence amidst uncertainty
- Giving yourself permission to grieve now, not just later
How We Work Together
Sessions are available virtually across Ontario or in-person in Toronto (limited availability).
This work is adaptable. Some clients come weekly for a stretch of time. Others check in occasionally as needed.
You do not need to know what you're looking for to start. You just need a willingness to show up honestly. Together, we'll figure out what support looks like for you.
Why This Work Matters
Most grief support begins after someone dies. But there is deep, meaningful work that can happen before then-when time is limited, but still here.
This isn't about silver linings or rushing toward closure. It's about honouring this part of the journey as much as any other. It's about holding space for meaning, connection, and even beauty-right alongside the grief.
