Do you miss who you were before your person died?
When life feels unbearable, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I’m Aly, a grief & trauma therapist who understands that some losses change everything.
The death of a partner, best friend, parent, or someone else can shatter you and leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused, and alone. I’m here to help.
AS FEATURED ON:
Individual & Couples Therapy that is grief & trauma-informed.
As a therapist based in Toronto, I specialize in providing compassionate support through grief therapy and trauma therapy. I help individuals navigating the complex emotions that come with loss, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the anticipated death of someone significant to you, or a significant life change. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, evidence-based practices, and a deep understanding of how grief and trauma impact the nervous system.
If you’re looking for a grief therapist or trauma therapist in Toronto (who is also accessible virtually) I’m here. Together, we’ll explore your emotions, find ways to cope, and help you build a life that includes both your grief and your continued growth.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Do your friends suck at supporting you?
I wrote Grief Ally to answer the questions “What do I do?” & “How do I help” when someone dies.

Anticipatory Grief: When You’re Losing Someone Slowly
Grief doesn’t only begin after a death. Sometimes, it begins the moment you realize someone you love is dying.
It’s the quiet ache that rises during a hospital visit. The tears that come after a moment of clarity, then confusion. The way your body flinches when the phone rings. The constant, heavy knowing that life is changing—and there’s no stopping it.
This is called anticipatory grief, and it’s real. It’s valid. And it deserves care.
