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.

Wishing you peace this Fourth of July. ❤️🤍💙

For many, the Fourth of July is filled with cookouts, fireworks, and time with family and friends.

For others, it's a reminder of someone who should be here.

If you're missing a loved one today, know that whatever you're feeling is welcome. Grief doesn't take a holiday, and it's okay if today feels different than it used to.

A few gentle reminders for today:

• It's okay to smile and still miss someone deeply.
• It's okay to step away from the noise if you need a quiet moment.
• It's okay to honor old traditions, create new ones, or skip them altogether.
• There is no "right" way to move through a holiday while grieving.

Whether today brings joy, sadness, gratitude, or a little of everything, I hope you find a moment of peace.

Next month, we’re having an important conversation about something many grieving people carry silently: shame.

Grief is already heavy enough, but many people also struggle with guilt, self-judgment, regret, or the feeling that they should be “handling it better.” These emotions are more common than people realize and they deserve compassion, not silence.

In our upcoming videos, we’ll talk about:

• Why shame can show up during grief
• The pressure people feel to “move on”
• How grief affects us emotionally and physically
• Ways to process grief with more self-compassion

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone.

Follow along next month as we continue the conversation around grief, healing, and emotional support. 💙

Grief and sleep often have a complicated relationship.

For some people, grief makes it difficult to sleep at all. The mind stays active, the body feels tense, and nighttime can feel especially heavy when everything becomes quiet.

For others, sleep becomes the only time they feel temporary relief from the weight of loss. Exhaustion can lead people to sleep more than usual because rest feels like an escape from the emotional pain they’re carrying.

Both responses are common during grief.

Loss affects the nervous system, stress levels, emotions, and daily routines — which means sleep changes are often part of the grieving process, even if they feel confusing or frustrating.

In this clip, Beth talks about why grief can disrupt sleep in different ways and why these responses make sense when someone is carrying deep emotional pain.

When people are grieving, they often look for a way to feel less exhausted but grief usually cannot be rushed or “fixed.”

What can help is finding intentional ways to support yourself while moving through the grief process.

That may look like:

Creating small daily routines

Getting gentle movement or fresh air

Talking about the loss instead of avoiding it

Allowing space for rest without guilt

Connecting with supportive people

Finding meaningful ways to honor the person or pet you lost

These activities do not erase grief, but they can help regulate the nervous system, reduce emotional isolation, and create moments of relief during difficult seasons.

In this clip, Beth talks about why intentional grief work matters and how caring for yourself during grief is not weakness it’s support for a body and mind carrying something heavy.

Sometimes the people who seem to be “doing okay” are carrying the heaviest grief.

Many grieving people continue showing up for work, caring for others, answering messages, and moving through daily life while quietly carrying emotional exhaustion underneath it all.

Grief is not always visible.

If this resonates with you, what is something you wish people understood about grief? 💙

06/11/2026

One of the hardest parts of grief is that life doesn’t stop while you’re grieving.

People are often still expected to answer emails, go to work, care for others, cook dinner, make decisions, and continue with daily responsibilities — all while carrying the emotional weight of loss in the background of every moment.

That invisible weight takes energy.

Many grieving people notice they feel more mentally drained, emotionally overwhelmed, forgetful, or physically exhausted, even when they’re trying their best to keep functioning normally. Grief requires enormous emotional processing, and the body often feels that burden too.

In this clip, Beth talks about why grief can make everyday life feel heavier than it used to — and why that response makes sense.

Today is World Pet Memorial Day a reminder that pet grief is real grief. 🐾

The loss of a beloved pet can leave a quiet space in our daily routines and in our hearts. Whether your companion was with you for years or only a short time, the bond mattered.

There is no "right" way to honor or remember them. Some people find comfort in creating a photo album, planting something in their memory, sharing favorite stories, or keeping a meaningful keepsake nearby. Others simply take a quiet moment to reflect on the love they shared.

If you're carrying the grief of losing a pet, you are not alone. Your grief deserves compassion, support, and understanding.

Helpful pet loss support resources:

• Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement (APLB)

• Human Animal Bond Trust

If you'd like personalized support as you navigate pet loss, Transitioning Through Change offers compassionate pet loss counseling in Westminster, Colorado, and virtually throughout Colorado.

Many people expect grief to be “just emotional,” but grief also affects the body.

When we experience a significant loss, our stress levels increase. Sleep is often disrupted, muscles stay tense, concentration becomes harder, and the nervous system can remain in a heightened state for long periods of time. Even everyday responsibilities can begin to feel overwhelming.

That’s one reason grief can leave people feeling deeply exhausted — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

In this clip, Beth explains why exhaustion during grief is a very human response, not a personal failure.

If you’ve been feeling unusually tired while grieving, your body may be responding exactly the way bodies respond to loss.

06/02/2026

The person who sent this to you wants to remind you of something. 💙

Grief changes your energy in ways people don’t always see.

Some days even the smallest tasks can feel exhausting. Some days just getting through the day is enough.

If that’s where you are right now, be gentle with yourself. One day at a time is enough.
