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.

Grief doesn’t follow a straight line — and that’s okay. 💙

You may have heard of the “five stages of grief,” and while that model helped open up important conversations, it can give the impression that healing is neat, orderly, or something to "complete."

The truth? Grief is deeply personal. It can rise and fall, loop back, or feel still for a while. There’s no right way to grieve, and no timeline you need to meet.

Wherever you are in your journey, your feelings are valid.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Learn more at Therapy Westminster - Transitioning Through Change or call/text Beth at (303) 335‑9059

Grieving the loss of a beloved pet can be just as deep and painful as grieving a human loved one. For many, pets are family — constant companions, sources of comfort, and unconditional love. And yet, people often feel like they have to “move on” quickly or grieve quietly.

Let’s clear that up with a few common questions we hear in pet grief counseling:

🐾 “Is it normal to feel this heartbroken after losing a pet?”
Yes. Your bond was real, and so is your grief. There's no “small” kind of loss when it comes to love.

🐾 “What if others don’t understand why I’m still upset?”
It’s common to feel isolated, but you’re not alone. Validation and support can make all the difference.

🐾 “Can therapy really help with pet loss?”
Absolutely. Counseling offers a safe space to process your grief, honor your pet, and begin to heal at your own pace.

At Transitioning Through Change, Beth offers compassionate support for those mourning the loss of a pet. Whether your grief is fresh or something you’ve been carrying for a while, you deserve care that recognizes how much your pet meant to you.

You don’t have to walk through pet loss alone. Learn more at Therapy Westminster – Transitioning Through Change or call/text Beth at (303) 335‑9059.

🌿 Gentle Coping Tip for Grief or Change: Create a small daily ritual that brings you comfort—whether it’s lighting a candle, taking a short walk, or writing a few lines in a journal.

Rituals offer a sense of grounding when everything else feels uncertain. They don’t have to be elaborate—just something consistent that reminds you you're still here, still healing, still moving forward in your own time.

Whatever you’re carrying, you deserve to move through it at a pace that feels right for you. There’s no “should” in healing. Just what’s true for you, today.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. Learn more at Therapy Westminster – Transitioning Through Change or call/text Beth at (303) 335‑9059.

Grief doesn’t go away—but over time, we can gently grow around it. 🌱

During National Grief Awareness Week (Dec 2–8), we honor the truth that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. Grief reshapes us, and in that reshaping, there’s space for new meaning, connection, and self-compassion.

Here are a few gentle ways to grow with your grief:

🌿 Create a ritual of remembrance – light a candle, write a letter, or visit a special place. Rituals offer comfort and connection.
🛏️ Prioritize rest – grief is exhausting. Giving yourself permission to slow down is a vital act of care.
📸 Keep their memory alive – display photos, share stories, or continue a tradition in their honor.
🖋️ Journal your emotions – making space for your feelings helps you process them, not push them away.
💬 Reach out – grief can be isolating. Talking to someone who understands can ease the burden.

If this resonates, you don’t have to walk through it alone.

As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s okay to feel the weight of your grief more deeply. This season can stir memories and amplify absence. And yet, even in the pain, small sparks of gratitude—for love shared, for moments remembered—can gently coexist.

Grief support means honoring both the sorrow and the gratitude. You don’t have to choose one over the other. You’re allowed to hold space for both.

If you're navigating holiday grief, know you're not alone. Beth offers compassionate grief support and counseling in Colorado for those facing Thanksgiving grief reflection and other emotional transitions.

🌿 It’s okay to protect your peace while grieving. 🌿

Grief doesn’t take a break during family gatherings or holidays—and neither should your emotional boundaries. You are allowed to skip events that feel too heavy, steer away from small talk that drains you, and plan quiet time afterward to recover.

💬 Here are a few boundaries that can help:

“I won’t be attending this year, but I appreciate the invite.”

“Let’s avoid talking about ___ today—it’s too tender right now.”

“I’ll join for an hour, then head home to rest.”

Setting limits is not selfish—it’s self-preservation. Honor your grief by making space for what you need, even when others may not fully understand.

💛 If you’re navigating this kind of heaviness, you’re not alone.

Grief and depression can feel very similar — heavy, isolating, and overwhelming — but they’re not the same. And both deserve care and support. 💙

Grief is a natural response to loss. It often comes in waves, and while it brings deep sorrow, it also allows moments of connection, memory, and love. Depression, on the other hand, tends to be more persistent and can dull your ability to feel anything, including joy or meaning.

Here are a few key differences to reflect on:
✨ Grief often comes in waves and is tied to a specific loss.
🌫️ Depression can feel like a constant fog, affecting all areas of life.
💔 With grief, self-esteem usually remains intact. With depression, it often erodes.

It’s okay if you’re not sure which you’re experiencing — or if it feels like both. You're not alone in this. Counseling can help you explore these emotions gently and without judgment.

If you're ready to begin that process, email Beth at beth@transitioningthroughchange.com

🌿 “Kindness toward others begins with kindness toward yourself.” 🌿

On this World Kindness Day, let this be your gentle reminder: it’s okay to slow down. It’s okay to feel. And it’s more than okay to care for you.

Grief, trauma, and emotional overwhelm can make even the smallest acts of self-compassion feel out of reach. But today, we invite you to pause… breathe… and offer yourself the same grace you so freely give to others.

You deserve kindness too. Especially now.

As the days grow shorter and colder, many people find their grief feels heavier. Winter has a way of slowing us down, and in that stillness, memories and emotions can surface more sharply. The quiet can feel isolating. The darkness, overwhelming.

Seasonal changes—especially the transition into winter—can intensify feelings of loss. Fewer daylight hours, holiday reminders, and increased time indoors all contribute to a deeper awareness of what (or who) is missing.

Counseling can offer steady support during this tender time.
🌿 It provides a safe space to talk openly about your grief—without judgment.
🌿 It helps you name and understand your feelings, even when they feel tangled.
🌿 It can guide you in creating emotional anchors—small practices that bring comfort, grounding, and connection in the midst of sorrow.

If this season feels especially heavy, you’re not alone. Support is here.

As the seasons shift, so can our grief. 🌬️🍂

Changes in light, temperature, and daily rhythm can stir up feelings of loss in unexpected ways. Shorter days might bring more quiet moments—times when absence feels louder. Cooler air and fading leaves can mirror the internal landscape of grief, making emotions feel heavier.

These shifts are not just in the weather—they’re in our bodies, routines, and energy, too. If you notice your grief feeling deeper or more present during seasonal transitions, know that you’re not alone.

✨ Gentle ways to support yourself during this time:

Prioritize rest. Grief is tiring. Slowing down is not weakness—it’s wisdom.

Seek light. A walk in natural daylight or sitting by a sunny window can offer comfort and grounding.

You deserve care, especially now.

If you're feeling the weight of seasonal grief, support is available.

November is National Family Caregivers Month — a time to honor those who show up with love, strength, and quiet courage every day.

Caregiving is deeply sacred work… but it can also be incredibly heavy. For those caring for a loved one while navigating grief, trauma, or life transitions, the emotional labor can feel overwhelming. Please know: your effort, your exhaustion, your love — it all matters. And you matter, too.

If you’re feeling the weight of it all, support is available. You don’t have to carry this alone.
