About My Clients
The aftermath of a death is confusing, isolating, and debilitating. The people that were at the ready immediately following the death have somehow dissipated, seemly moving on from this life altering event while you are still in the trenches of it all. Maybe people are asking you, "Shouldn't you be over this by now?" or making statements like, "It was meant to be." These comments leave you feeling more and more misunderstood. If this is your experience, I hope to provide a healing space for you.
My Background and Approach
With an empathetic and strengths-based orientation, I partner with clients to process grief and trauma, integrate loss into their lives, and build practical coping skills. I recognize that addressing trauma and grief often brings up fear, anxiety, and vulnerability. My role is to support clients in developing regulation skills, fostering body awareness, and establishing internal safety—creating a stable foundation from which we can do deeper work. For the past two years, I have had the privilege of working with children and families at Judi's House, a respected grief center in Colorado. I have worked with children as young as 3 years old to middle-aged adults. I have specialized skills in facilitating groups and working with clients individually to support them through their grief journey, whatever that may look like. I hope to continue the work of holding space for and supporting individuals in healing through grief.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I approach therapy through a person-centered, humanistic lens, offering a non-judgmental and compassionate space for clients to explore their emotions, traumas, and patterns of being—in both the world and their relationships. My work is deeply informed by the seven core assumptions rooted in restorative justice and Indigenous practices, which reflect how I hold each client in the therapeutic space: -The true self in everyone is good, wise, and powerful. -The world is profoundly interconnected. -All human beings have a deep desire to be in good relationship. -Everyone has gifts, and each person is needed for what they bring. -Everything we need to make positive change is already here. -Human beings are holistic. -We need practices to build habits of living from the core self.
