Scott Fitzgerald: “For what it’s worth … it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be … there’s no time limit — start whenever you want … you can change or stay the same — there are no rules to this thing … we can make the best or the worst of it … I hope you make the best of it … I hope you see things that startle you … I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before … I hope you meet people with a different point of view … I hope you live a life you’re proud of … and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.” 970-400-7319 [email protected] Psychiatric Services of the Rockies Fort Collins, CO

Grief can feel like an overwhelming, uncharted journey. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a significant life change, it’s normal to experience a wide range of emotions—sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, or even numbness. It can leave you feeling lost and uncertain of how to move forward. If you’re navigating grief, I want you to know that you don’t have to go through it alone. My approach to grief support is gentle, empathetic, and deeply respectful of the unique process you’re going through. There’s no timeline for grief, and no “right” way to experience it. Together, we’ll create a space where you can honor your emotions, find meaning in your experience, and begin the healing process. Here’s how I work with clients experiencing grief: Providing a Safe and Compassionate Space: Grief can bring up raw emotions, and I make sure our work together is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. You can express your feelings without fear of judgment or the pressure to "move on" too quickly. Grief is deeply personal, and I respect where you are on your journey. Acknowledging the Full Range of Emotions: Grief is not just sadness; it’s a complex mix of emotions that can shift from one moment to the next. I’m here to help you explore and process all of the feelings that arise, whether they’re anger, guilt, relief, or even moments of joy and peace amidst the pain. Every emotion is valid and part of your healing process. Helping You Honor Your Loss: Grief often requires us to process the significance of the loss and find ways to honor what was. We may work together to reflect on your memories, rituals, or ways to celebrate the life of your loved one. This can be an important step in finding closure or making peace with the loss. Working at Your Pace: There’s no rush when it comes to grief. Everyone’s journey is different, and I’ll meet you where you are. If you’re ready to explore certain aspects of your grief, we can dive in. If you need space to simply sit with your emotions and let them unfold, I’ll honor that too. Your healing process is unique, and I’m here to support it at your pace. Supporting You Through the Practical and Emotional Impact: Grief often impacts many areas of life, from day-to-day functioning to how we view ourselves and our relationships. Together, we’ll explore how grief is affecting you in the present moment and work on practical strategies to manage daily life while processing your emotions. Exploring Meaning and Healing: In the midst of grief, it can be difficult to find meaning or purpose. I support clients in exploring how they can integrate the experience of loss into their life moving forward, whether through reconnecting with their values, finding new meaning, or creating a legacy for their loved one. Gentle Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques: Sometimes grief can feel overwhelming, and mindfulness or grounding techniques can help you stay present and manage intense emotions. We’ll work together to find tools that help you navigate the emotional waves of grief, offering you moments of peace and balance. Navigating Loneliness and Isolation: Grief can often make us feel alone, even in a crowd. I’ll help you explore the isolation that comes with grief and support you in finding healthy ways to reconnect with yourself and others, when you’re ready. Helping You Move Forward: While we never “move on” from grief, we do learn how to integrate it into our lives. I’ll help you explore how to carry the love, lessons, and memories of your loss in a way that allows you to keep moving forward, creating a new sense of balance and meaning in your life. Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no right or wrong way to navigate it. My role is to support you through every phase of the process, whether you’re feeling lost in your sorrow or ready to begin exploring the next chapter of your healing. You don’t have to face it alone, and I’m here to help you find the support, understanding, and peace you need.
