Walking with you on your grief journey. Sessions provided in-person or telehealth. Are you experiencing a loss due to death, disability, or life transition?

Perhaps you are grieving the childhood you never had. Grief and trauma can be messy, but you do not have to experience it alone. It takes courage to reach out and share personal aspects of yourself. I am both sad and glad you are here. Together we will work to help you co-exist with grief, move forward from past traumatic events, disolve negative self-defeating beliefs, and find hope, peace, and purpose. There are many ways we can work together to help you achieve your goals. Whether you are looking for ways to find meaning after a death of a loved one, find purpose after the loss of a job or relationship, or regain independence and confidence after a disability, we will tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs. If you are experiencing negative beliefs about yourself as a result of a traumatic event that you feel holds you back from being the person you want to be, we will work together to shift your beliefs to be more empowering. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EMDR Therapist, I bring a unique combination of personal and professional experience working with grief and loss and living with a disability. With compassion, humor, and knowledge, I can help you move forward and embrace life again. Sessions are held via telehealth during COVID and beyond, so distance need not be a barrier if you live in Colorado. If we do meet in person after the pandemic, you will meet Manolo, my service dog. He describes himself as follows: I am a fun-loving, high-energy, cuddle bug. While I am not a therapy dog (I am Beth’s guide dog), I still provide therapy if you don’t mind doggy kisses. 🙂 Beth and I met at Guide Dogs for the Blind in July of 2019. I look forward to being a part of your healing journey as you and Beth work together. Please take the next step and contact me today so we can begin to help you feel whole again.

Sometimes you think you’re doing okay.

And then you hear the first birds of spring.

You see baby squirrels in the yard.
New flowers come up.
Someone mentions gardening.

And suddenly — it hits.

Grief often lives in the body.

It can be reactivated by sound.
By smell.
By light changing.

The birds might remind you of your mom who fed them every morning.
The flowers might bring back memories of a memorial service.
A garden might highlight who isn’t here to plant it this year.

These moments don’t mean you’re going backward.

They mean your nervous system remembers.

If spring has caught you off guard, you’re not alone.

03/17/2026

Healing isn’t loud.
Sometimes it’s noticed first by the people around you.
And sometimes it’s something only you can feel.

Sometimes healing looks like reacting differently than you used to.
Sometimes it looks like getting through a day that would have once overwhelmed you.
Sometimes it’s simply noticing that the grief feels a little less sharp.

And sometimes… other people see the shift before you do.

If you’re in a quiet season of healing, please know this:
Just because it’s subtle doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

Grief softens in layers. Growth happens beneath the surface. And both can exist at the same time.

03/10/2026

Have you felt strangely restless this spring?

Like your body is activated —
but you don’t actually feel motivated?

Seasonal shifts increase light, sound, and stimulation.

If you’re carrying unresolved grief or trauma, that activation can overwhelm your nervous system.

This isn’t a mindset problem.

It’s a regulation issue.

EMDR therapy helps your brain process stored experiences that keep your nervous system stuck in survival mode — so seasonal changes feel less jarring.

If spring has felt harder than expected, there may be support that helps your body recalibrate.

March holds a personal weight for me.

In one March, I experienced three deaths.
I experienced another death years earlier in April.

There were no memorial services.
No formal moments of “finality.”

And that absence changed my grief.

Spring is often associated with renewal.
But for some of us, it carries memory instead.

Living through my own grief reshaped how I sit with clients.
It showed me how grief moves through the body.
How it lingers.
How it surprises us.

And how important it is to have someone simply stay.

If March, April, or May feels heavier than it looks from the outside, you’re not alone in that.

03/03/2026

Spring has a way of telling us it’s time to bloom.

But grief doesn’t follow the calendar.
Neither does trauma recovery.
Neither does adjusting to a life you didn’t expect.

If this season feels heavy instead of hopeful, you are not behind.

Growth can look like:
-Getting out of bed
-Taking one steady breath
-Saying “this is hard” out loud

There is no deadline on renewal.

If this season is stirring up something tender for you, know that support exists.

The grief of losing a pet can feel just as deep as losing a person—sometimes even more so. Pets are our companions, our comfort, and often our constant. The love we share with them is pure, unconditional, and woven into our everyday lives.

Yet this kind of grief is often misunderstood or dismissed. I want you to know: your sorrow is valid. The bond you had was real, and so is the pain of their absence. You don’t have to justify the depth of your loss.

If you’re grieving a pet and need a safe place to talk, I’m here. Visit transitioningthroughchange.com

Even after a beloved pet is gone, the bond you shared doesn’t disappear. You might still sense their presence, dream about them, or find comfort in small rituals that keep their memory close. These moments are a reflection of deep love—and they matter.

Beth gently invites you to reflect: In what ways do you still feel connected to your pet? There’s no right or wrong answer. Grief after pet loss is real, and honoring that connection can be a healing part of your journey.

Feel free to share your memory in the comments or reflect privately. If you’re navigating pet loss, you’re not alone.

“Letting go” is often misunderstood in grief. It doesn’t mean forgetting your loved one or moving on as if nothing happened. Beth gently reminds us that letting go can mean releasing guilt, pressure, or expectations—not the love you still carry.

Grief healing often includes finding new ways to hold that love. Speaking their name, creating rituals, or simply allowing yourself to remember can be part of continuing bonds that support your journey forward.

If you’re exploring what healing looks like, grief support is here. Visit Therapy Westminster – Transitioning Through Change or call/text Beth at (303) 335‑9059.

02/17/2026

“Letting go” is often misunderstood. It doesn’t mean forgetting, and it certainly doesn’t mean you’ve stopped loving someone you’ve lost. As Beth gently shares, letting go can mean releasing guilt, unrealistic timelines, or the pressure to “move on.”

This week’s quote invites reflection on how we can learn to live alongside loss, carrying love forward, even in changed form. Beth’s new YouTube vlog explores this theme more deeply, especially in the context of grief and Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day can be unexpectedly painful when you’re grieving. A holiday centered on love, connection, and togetherness can gently or abruptly remind you of who is no longer here.

Whether you feel deep sadness, longing, or even a sense of numbness, know that these are normal responses to loss. Beth shares that grief can show up in different ways, especially around holidays that carry emotional meaning.

If this season feels tender, support is available.

02/10/2026

You may have heard the myth that remembering a loved one on holidays means you're stuck in grief—but that simply isn’t true. Grief doesn’t mean forgetting. In fact, acts of remembrance can be a powerful part of healing.

Beth shares that lighting a candle, saying their name, or creating a meaningful ritual can honor the continuing bond you still share. These moments of connection don’t hold you back—they help carry love forward.

There’s no wrong way to honor someone you’ve lost. If you’re unsure how to begin, compassionate support is available at Therapy Westminster – Transitioning Through Change or by contacting Beth at (303) 335‑9059.

02/05/2026

Valentine’s Day can stir up deep emotions when you're grieving the loss of a loved one or a cherished pet. Love doesn’t end when someone is gone—and it’s okay if this day feels tender, confusing, or heavy.

Beth gently encourages finding small ways to honor your connection: light a candle, create a simple ritual, write them a letter, or visit a place that holds meaning. There’s no right or wrong way to remember someone you love.

You don’t have to face this alone. Visit Therapy Westminster – Transitioning Through Change or contact Beth at (303) 335‑9059.
