Grief Therapists in Wyoming

"Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you deal with it is what makes the difference." ~ Virginia Satir. The journey of life is filled with so many "bumps in the road" - illness, loss, family adjustments, physical changes. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and out of balance, making it increasingly difficult to function in daily life. It's important to take the time to recognize and heal the emotional change that accompanies life's unexpected twists and turns. I look forward to walking this path with you...it is an honor.

The power to change your life lies in your mindset – how you process experiences and the feelings attached to them. Change can seem overwhelming. We can be stuck in the same patterns void of any progress. If you are ready to take control of your life and process uncomfortable experiences head-on, I can help. Choosing your thoughts and feeling your feelings can undo negative patterns and behaviors to create the life you want to live. Therapy is a partnership that takes place in a compassionate and confidential environment, where you can identify and overcome the negative beliefs and patterns that stifle your growth.

I am a licensed psychotherapist, providing person-centered and trauma-informed care for individuals, couples and families. I endeavor to help clients heal and develop more effective and adaptive behavior for a more fulfilling life. Clients are helped to learn and use positive, effective coping skills and to develop the motivation to reach their greatest potential. I take into account dealing with life challenges, as well at being at different stages of readiness and change. Clients are helped to move forward at their ideal pace.

I work with individuals, couples and families. I have extensive work with grief, trauma, adolescent issues, communication, co-dependency, domestic violence, and women's issues. The ideal client is ready to work hard in counseling sessions as well as outside the sessions. It seems that insight evolves often during the time between sessions when given the opportunity.

Are you influenced by a strong inner critic telling you stories about yourself that don't match with who you want to be? Maybe you don't have anyone you trust with whom you can really talk. Perhaps you weren't taught adequate coping skills to deal with whatever is overwhelming you right now. If you don't know where to turn or what to do, why keep swimming in the same old muck? Let's meet and work out a plan to see how you can be truly yourself, a creative and functioning human being, capable of happiness, fulfilling relationships, finding meaning, letting go of past dysfunctional behaviors, and engaging in truly joyful living.

You are welcome here! It takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask for help; that is the most important first step. As your counselor, I will walk with you on this journey towards healing and wholeness. We will discuss the issues, work on strategies to improve daily functioning and you will learn more effective coping skills to manage difficult emotions and resolve conflicts.

I accept clients walking through anxiety, depression, and grief. In our sessions, a strong connection between counselor and client is foundational, creating a safe environment where you can confidently address life’s challenges. My therapeutic approach combines talk therapy with practical strategies, emphasizing holistic growth and meaning in life. I have experience with adolescents, college students, (older) adults, and families, and I tailor each session to meet your personal needs and goals. If you’re seeking support on your path to healing, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Together, we can explore the path forward.

Are you in a toxic relationship or wondering if your relationship is healthy? Are you experiencing the aftermath of a traumatic experience? Maybe you simply wish you had someone to talk to who is impartial and non-judgmental. Therapy is about finding the right "fit" with a therapist, and I pride myself in creating a comfortable environment in which to foster growth. Sometimes all we need is to have a place to talk things out before we can move forward and feel better.

Sometimes life gets heavy and hard. There IS HOPE for a better tomorrow. My clients want support for many issues, among them grief and bereavement, depression, anxiety, and assistance with serious health diagnosis, and adjusting or readjusting to new life circumstances. Sometimes just support making a hard decision. I am here to listen!
