Grief Therapists in 83713

I have many years of experience working with women, children and families through being a special needs preschool teacher, children's mental health treatment manager, adoption program coordinator, and public speaker. I received my master's degree in marriage and family therapy in 2009. Through my counseling practice I endeavor to help you establish a strong, healthy outlook on life whereby you can develop to your full potential. I am passionate about helping you and your family attain positive change.

Life is unpredictable. Often events happen out of our control. We find ourselves reacting with emotions that are overwhelming and sometimes debilitating. I cannot change what has happened in your life or what losses you’ve had to go through. I can walk alongside of you, create a safe place for you to process events or relationships that are causing stress, and help define your goals and values to reach solutions. I know you are not alone, and I want you to know it also. I can help you find hope when hope may seem far out of reach.

What is your anxiety level? Do you find yourself struggling with anxious thoughts, losing sleep? If so, let's consult about your mental health needs. Therapy is personal and sometimes one of the hardest first steps to take but most people have one common goal: change. This change occurs in many ways and can affect each person differently. Most people struggle with issues they encountered in their childhood, which lends to ways they manage their personal relationships, work life, and everyday living. Addressing your past is hard, but not impossible that can provide healing in your journey to mental wellness and self-discovery.

I specialize in working with trauma, grief and loss, and attachment issues. I have experience working with adults, teens, and children who’ve experienced domestic and sexual violence, those struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship issues, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and folks who’ve struggled with addiction. Many of my clients work toward acknowledging and grieving the past so moving forward feels possible. I know counseling can be scary. This is why we move slowly and intentionally, making sure counseling doesn't just feel hard. There are moments of joy and celebration in healing too.

I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship through fostering an open, supportive, and collaborative environment. This relationship creates a safe place for you to work through unresolved issues and unhealed emotional wounds that are keeping you from moving forward or causing you distress. I utilize therapeutic modalities that are rooted in CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution focused framework. I approach each relationship from a holistic view and strive to incorporate the whole person examining the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health of each individual for the best outcomes.

Is your life filled with trauma and despair? Are you anxious, depressed, fearful, grief stricken, or overwhelmed ? Are you looking for answers? What if I were to tell you that you already hold the keys. YOU have the answers within your SELF. Each one of us does. We all possess, at our very core, a centered SELF filled with courage, compassion, curiosity, and other positive qualities. When we allow this SELF to lead, it has the ability to heal our wounds and create a harmonious, balanced state of wholeness. It is my goal as a therapist to walk with my clients as they journey forward towards SELF discovery.

For many of us life brings about unexpected changes and loss. In the midst of change we often find ourselves struggling to sleep, eat or make the healthy choices we wish we would. We may find ourselves shutting down, numbing out or we keep busy, never slowing down. We try everything within our strength to ignore, run from or avoid our pain. What would happen if we stopped, found a safe person, in a safe space to turn and face our pain and begin to heal?

I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma.

My viewpoint is everyone needs support in life. I've been able to support people through relationship changes, job transitions and loss of loved ones. My ideal client is looking to change something in their life and have freedom to be themselves. When you feel good on the inside life goes better. If you don't feel good call me.

Understanding one of the most difficult actions in our society is to reach out for help, I believe in assisting all people to find peace and happiness within themselves and their relationships. I have had 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples and families with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, family relationships, ADD, gender issues, self-improvement and more. I am very focused on helping people find their power within and believe in using their strengths to overcome their challenges in life.

I love the counseling that I do. For the last fifteen years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and resiliency of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that much of our life is determined by the lens that we choose to look through. I also believe counselors are most successful when they also have a healthy lifestyle and live the principles that they teach to their clients. I believe that when you meet me that you will find me to be grounded, healthy, and authentic.

The way you were cared for or not cared for as you grew up shaped your beliefs about yourself and the people around you. You may have also had traumatic experiences throughout your life. Those experiences and beliefs may still be affecting you today, causing symptoms including anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship problems, or other concerns. I believe you can heal! My role is to offer you compassion and safety as you do that. My practice is trauma-focused and I am EMDR trained.

Psychotherapy can help us reclaim our courage and authenticity, and create the conditions for durable change. I come from the perspective that every person is wired for connection and seeks growth to embody their wisdom and wholeness. Individuals can heal from past experiences, move through difficult transitions, and learn to tolerate the stresses of modern life. When we are disconnected from our natural capacity, we can experience life as intolerable and forget our inherent worth. I believe in a collaborative approach to not only find relief from problems, but also to restore health and a sense of internal wholeness.

Compassion is the key to hope and the pull toward joy is stronger than the presence of pain. This is one of the main foundations of how I help people to heal and move forward in their lives. You are the expert on you and I the professional that can help you live a better life. Working together, We will find the success and balance you are seeking for your life. I know all of us are capable of healing from the past, creating healthier habits, and living more freely. The place of healing you envision exists and I would be honored to be your companion on that journey. Working together, it need not be a painful or lonely path.

Navigating this thing called life is not easy. We all go through struggles and need a listening ear, reassurance, and help sometimes. It takes courage to take those first steps toward change as we seek to find a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories, reflect on life experiences, and increase their confidence. Through collaboration, I will assist you in identifying your stressors and coping strengths, as you build new skills and move toward healing and gaining a more balanced life.

I'm a licensed clinical professional counselor with a primary focus on treating individuals 12 and older who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, chronic people pleasing, poor boundaries, codependency, and parental/family estrangement.

Currently have daytime 9am-3pm openings. Life is full of expected and unexpected challenges that present a roller coaster of emotions. On the one hand there is a desire to openly share all of these thoughts and emotions connected to life's challenges and on the other hand a desire for privacy. Emotions can boil under the surface or they can be obvious at the top; and, we owe it to ourselves to set aside time to share and talk about these emotions to decrease the amount of energy they consume. Life is a treasure and with support, encouragement, empathy and compassion you can have the power to feel this sentiment every day!
