Grief is not linear. After loss, the sadness comes unexpectedly. It waxes and wanes on its own. The only way to be with it is to let it move through you. If you try to bottle it up, it will come out later. It can also build in your system lead to other emotional difficulties. Grief is a natural process and it's important to let it happen. I'm here to support you in being with the grief in a compassionate, kind way.

Grief can impact emotions, relationships, sleep, concentration, and a person’s sense of meaning. Counseling offers a supportive space to process loss at one’s own pace, without pressure to “move on.” Clients often experience relief from overwhelming emotions, greater clarity and self-understanding, and practical tools for coping day to day. Over time, many feel less alone, more grounded, and better able to re-engage with life and relationships while honoring what has been lost.

Grief is a powerful and unique process. There are numerous examples of how grief and loss can show up in your life, but often grief is in response to a deep and profound loss that you have experienced. This can show up as losing your loved one; your spouse, your close friend, your colleague, your beloved pet, or it can be the loss of your job, your marriage, your relationship, your home, or some other aspect of your identity. Love, patience, and compassion are vital to your grief process. Being able to navigate your grief process on your own can be overwhelming and that is when it is helpful to have someone to work with to support you and help you heal by being a witness to your process.

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.

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.

When working with grief and loss, I use talk therapy, narrative therapy and EMDR to help people process their hurts and be able to move forward. I start with resourcing so that people can develop coping skills and stability before diving into their grief and trauma. With children, play therapy can be a great additional tool to use to help them process their grief indirectly.

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.

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.

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.
