Grief Therapists in Colorado
Being human is difficult and It is common for people to get stuck at critical life junctures - loss of any type, life changes, developmental stages, trauma, etc.
Someone once said that to live is to grieve. There is a lot of truth to this, and grief is a lens that can help us to confront loss, change, and the process of growth and development. I incorporate several different psychological approaches such as Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, and Cognitive-Behavioral in my therapy sessions.

I primarily work with adolescents and adults, and work with a myriad of struggles including grief, trauma, addiction, and attachment issues.
I believe we live in the present moment with a lens of our past, which is why part of my therapeutic approach revolves around working through past hurt. My goal is to help clients navigate through life without their past weighing them down, as well as helping clients accept themselves as they are. I do this through a psychodynamic and existential approach.

My approach with clients is relational, somatic/body-centered and trauma-resilience informed - trusting that grief is a natural part of our soulfully lived lives.
My training, as well as my own personal experience, has been through the lens of spiritual inquiry, therefore I orient towards the deeper questions arising out of current life circumstance. I also trust that grief, as a normal part of the cycles of life, though difficult, always leads to a newly emerging sense of self.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
