Transitioning Through Change, PLLC

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.

We’re continuing our Self-Care series into October with a pillar that often gets overlooked—yet makes a huge difference in daily life: Practical Self-Care.

When you’re grieving or going through big changes, even the simplest tasks—like paying bills, doing laundry, or checking your calendar—can feel overwhelming.
But small, manageable steps can restore a sense of stability and ease.

Practical Self-Care isn’t glamorous, but it’s powerful. It’s about creating systems and routines that lighten your load, not add to it.

Here are some gentle ways to practice it:
🗓 Make a simple, realistic to-do list—just 1–3 items
💡 Set reminders for appointments, meds, or check-ins
🧺 Tidy one small space (a drawer, your bag, your inbox)
💵 Review one financial task without judgment
🍲 Prep a meal—or order one that makes life easier

When life feels out of control, practical self-care helps you reclaim small pieces of it—one task at a time.

💙 Next week, we’ll close out the series with a joyful one: Recreational & Intellectual Self-Care—because play and curiosity are healing too.

Birthdays can be a mix of things—joy, reflection, and sometimes even heaviness. This year, I’m holding space for all of it.

Grateful for the laughter that keeps me light, the lessons that keep me growing, and the love that keeps me grounded.

Here’s to another year of embracing both the silly tutu moments and the meaningful ones that shape us. 💙🦋

This week in our Self-Care Awareness Month series, we’re focusing on something many people find challenging during grief or change: Social/Relational Self-Care.

When you're hurting, it's easy to withdraw or feel like a burden to others. But connection - the safe, nourishing kind - can be one of the most powerful forms of healing.

Social self-care is about nurturing relationships that support your well-being. It’s also about setting boundaries that protect your energy.

Here are a few ways to practice Social/Relational Self-Care:
💬 Reach out to someone who “gets it”—even if it’s just a text
🧡 Spend time with people who make you feel safe, not drained
🚪Say no to invitations or conversations that feel too heavy
☕ Schedule meaningful connection: a walk, a coffee, a call
✋ Remember that asking for support is a sign of strength

It’s okay to need people. It’s okay to take space. Both can be true.
And both can be healing.

💙 Next week, we’ll talk about a rarely discussed—but incredibly important—pillar: Practical Self-Care.

09/27/2025

Trauma and grief often leave us feeling stuck in painful memories or overwhelming emotions. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy can help the brain reprocess these experiences, so they no longer feel as sharp or paralyzing.

EMDR isn’t about forgetting your loss - it’s about reducing the intensity of the pain, allowing space for healing, and helping you move forward without being held back by the past.

💙 Whether your grief comes from losing a loved one, a pet, or adjusting to a major life change, EMDR offers a path to relief and restoration.

Curious if EMDR could be right for you? Let’s talk.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve explored Emotional, Physical, and Mental self-care.
Today we shift toward something deeper: Spiritual Self-Care.

Spiritual self-care isn’t about religion (though it can be). It’s about connecting with something bigger than yourself—your values, your purpose, the natural world, or a sense of meaning—especially when life feels uncertain or painful.

Whether you’re grieving, adjusting to change, or simply feeling disconnected, tending to your spiritual life can be a grounding force.

Here are a few ways to practice Spiritual Self-Care:
🌿 Spend time in nature without distraction
🙏 Create space for silence, prayer, or reflection
🕯 Light a candle or create a small ritual of remembrance
📖 Read something that speaks to your soul—not just your mind
💬 Talk to someone about the "big questions" you’re holding
💫 Revisit your values and ask: What matters most to me right now?

Spiritual self-care helps anchor us in what’s meaningful when everything else feels like it’s shifting.

💙 Join us next Tuesday as we explore Social/Relational Self-Care—because healing often happens in connection.

So far in our Self-Care Awareness Month series, we’ve explored Emotional and Physical Self-Care—tending to our hearts and our bodies.
This week, we're turning inward with Mental Self-Care—because your mind needs care, too.

Mental self-care helps us create space for clarity, calm, and emotional regulation—especially when we’re navigating grief, trauma, or major life changes.

Here are some gentle ways to support your mental well-being:
🧘 Practice mindfulness or breathing exercises to ground yourself
✍️ Write down your thoughts without trying to fix them
📵 Take a break from social media or overstimulating content
🧩 Do something mentally engaging that brings joy—like puzzles, reading, or learning something new
🧠 Challenge negative self-talk with affirming truths

Mental self-care isn’t about having perfect thoughts—it’s about giving your mind room to breathe and reminding yourself that it’s okay to rest.

💙 Next week, we’ll talk about Spiritual Self-Care—and how reconnecting to purpose, values, or nature can support healing through life’s transitions.

09/14/2025

Today we pause to honor the pets who filled our lives with unconditional love. 💙🐾
Whether you’re remembering a furry friend from years ago or grieving a recent loss, your bond is forever.

💬 Share your pet’s name or a favorite memory in the comments—we’d love to remember them with you.

09/09/2025

Last week, we explored Emotional Self-Care—the brave act of making space for your feelings.
This week, we’re turning to Physical Self-Care, because your body holds grief too.

Whether you’re grieving a loss, adjusting to a disability, or healing from trauma, tending to your physical needs isn’t just self-care—it’s survival. And it’s one of the first things we forget when we’re overwhelmed.

Here are some ways to practice Physical Self-Care:
🌿 Rest when you’re tired, not just when you “deserve” it
💧 Stay hydrated and eat foods that feel nourishing to you
🚶‍♀️ Move gently—stretching, walking, yoga, or dancing
🌤 Get some fresh air, even if it’s just for a few minutes
🛏 Create routines around sleep and rest, not just productivity

Physical self-care is not about perfection. It’s about listening to your body with kindness and responding with care.

💙 Stay with us—next week’s pillar is Mental Self-Care, where we’ll explore ways to support your thoughts and calm your mind.

09/05/2025

September is Self-Care Awareness Month, and we’re taking time to explore the 7 pillars of self-care—starting with the one that often gets overlooked: Emotional Self-Care.

Grief, trauma, and big life transitions can bring intense waves of emotion. Practicing emotional self-care isn’t about “fixing” how you feel—it’s about learning to honor your emotions without judgment and make space for healing.

Here are a few ways to practice emotional self-care:
💙 Give yourself permission to cry—or not cry.
💬 Talk to someone you trust about what you’re feeling.
📝 Journal your emotions without trying to analyze them.
🧘🏽‍♀️ Practice mindfulness or grounding techniques during emotional surges.
📖 Read or listen to affirming content that reminds you: you’re not alone.
🤝 Reach out for support through counseling or community.

It’s not always easy, but allowing yourself to feel without shame is an act of strength.

🌱 Follow along each Tuesday as we explore a new pillar to support your whole self—next week, we’ll talk about Physical Self-Care and how your body holds grief too.
