Grief and Loss Counseling in Boulder, CO.

My extensive work with grief, loss and other major life transitions allows me to bring full compassion and understanding to the pain you might be carrying. While grief never goes away, we can learn to live with it and adapt to the changes it brings. In our work together, I will provide you with self-regulating tools and methods to bring a sense of well-being and peace into your life so that you can regain your equilibrium while honoring the losses you've faced. I also specializes in illness, chronic-pain, caregiver burnout, the process of dying, death, and living on after someone you love has died. Spiritual support is an option I offer as well if this feels like it would be beneficial.

I have extensive background supporting those with grief and/or loss. It can be important to feel understood during such difficult emotion. Therapy can also provide a space where there is space to sort through difficult emotion such as grief, when there is not the felt need to hold back or take care of the other person.

The death of a loved one is possibly the single most difficult experience that anyone can face. Seeking out counseling is a good way to handle the grief and loss that come after experiencing loss. Your counselor can help you explore the intense feelings of sadness and loss. Many people are expected to continue their normal daily activities after a loss, such as going to work and taking care of family. Therefore, they are unable to fully experience and explore their grief. Yet research has shown that the more deeply you can feel and understand your pain the better prepared you will be to move beyond your grief and re-enter normal life. Call today: (970) 227-2770.

Life can be seen as a series of losses. We do not suffer because of these losses, but because we do not know how to deal with the losses in healthy ways. Pain is part of life and pain needs to be embraced and understood. Grief is a normal response to loss. It takes us on a jouney of self-discovery and personal renewal. It is when we deny, minimize and run away from the uncomfortable feelings that flow from losses that we create our own internal problems. I can help you find the courage to face the pain of loss and disappointments. That will enable you will grow through the difficult parts and become a more fully alive person.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.
