Grief and Loss Counseling in Fairmount, CO.

Greif and loss are inevitable in life and there isn't a standard timetable or way in which we may find resolution. In some cases the goal isn't to resolve our grieving as much as learn to live with loss. I take an individual approach to living with grief and loss. We can use mindfulness techniques to be able to experience our pain in order to allow our emotions to be expressed.

Sitting alone in grief can be the hardest thing to do. As I sit with you and allow some of what needs to be released to be released, my hope is that you feel a sense of safety and healing. We walk through the stages of grief at your own pace: honoring memories, hurting from loss, feeling the "ugly" feelings of hurt and loss, and working through the transition of what life looks like now. Your healing can only happen in your timing, there is no right or wrong.

In grief and loss therapy, I work with you to honor and explore the stories that connect you to your loved one or the experience you have lost. Rather than seeing grief as something to “move on” from, we work to respect and integrate the relationship you hold with your memories, allowing them to have a place in your life. Together, we’ll re-author your story of loss to include your resilience, values, and the meaningful legacies that endure, helping you find ways to re-engage with life in a way that feels authentic to you.

Grief is normal, and it is a painful part of life that we all must face. Sometimes you can feel really alone, or feel like you will never get back to normal again. Maybe you lost a loved one suddenly, and this has been traumatic. Or perhaps you struggled for a long time caring for an ailing family member. And there are many other types of grief. We can help you to navigate the journey of healing from loss so that the experience enriches your life rather than taking a piece of you.

The process of grieving is complex. There are several types of grief other than the death of a loved one. There is no "right or wrong" way to move through this painful process. There is no time frame for healing so our time together will be based on your personal experience and process of healing. My goal is to meet you where you are and facilitate healing in a safe & trusting environment.

Loss is a hard reality of life. Grief isn’t something to “get over", it’s something your body and mind learn to live alongside. My approach helps you stay connected to what was lost while reclaiming vitality in the present. I work gently with the nervous system to metabolize pain rather than suppress it, allowing grief to transform from something that crushes you into something that deepens you. I've lost loved ones close to me and know firsthand how isolating and painful it is. Maybe you have felt like no one understands or wants to listen. I offer a compassionate, safe space for you to process loss and grief on your own terms.
