You’ve been
carrying this
long enough.
Somatic therapy, IFS, AND EMDR for people who are ready to go deeper than talking about their week. You've probably done some version of this before. The journaling. The books. The conversations with people who care about you. And something still hasn't shifted.
That's not a sign you're doing it wrong. That's a sign the part of you that needs to change might not live in your thoughts at all.
The goal here isn't to feel good all the time. It's to feel steady inside the life you already have, regardless of what you've been carrying.
That's where this work starts.
Before we were therapists, we were backcountry guides.
We’ve spent years taking people into terrain they weren't sure they could handle. High altitude, bad weather, long days. The physical part was never actually the hardest. What we kept noticing was what happened to people when they got through something they thought was going to break them.
That's why we became therapists. We wanted to keep being in that room.
Laura has lived in Summit County for over a decade. She’s not someone who moved here to work. She’s part of this community. She knows what it feels like to build a life here, to run into people you know everywhere you go, and to carry something privately in a place that looks, from the outside, like paradise. She understands the particular strangeness of struggling somewhere everyone else comes to vacation — the pressure to be okay, to be grateful, to keep it together because you live the dream other people fly in for. Her clients don't have to explain that context to me. She already gets it.
Laura is a certified EMDR therapist and is currently completing her IFS certification. She’s direct. She’s curious. She doesn't flinch at hard things. Whether you're working through a specific trauma or trying to understand parts of yourself that have been running the show for years, she'll meet you there with real rigor, not just reassurance. There's nothing you can bring into the room that's too much for her to hold with you.
Emily calls Leadville home. This isn't a place she cycled through between trainings — it's where she grocery shops, where she hikes on her days off, where she's woven into the fabric of daily life just like her clients are. She understands the particular weight of small-town visibility: the friendly faces everywhere, the sense that everyone's business is everyone's business, and the quiet exhaustion of holding real struggle in a place people romanticize as an escape. You won't need to explain any of that to her. She's lived it too.
Emily specializes in anxiety, life transitions, and the pressure that builds when you're surrounded by athletes — the sense that you should always be pushing toward the next summit, literally and otherwise. She's less interested in quick fixes than in actually being present with what's going on, sitting with it long enough to understand it before trying to move through it. She's warm, but she's not going to just nod along — she'll ask the questions that get underneath things. She brings steadiness and a good bit of humor into the room, and she believes therapy should feel like a place you can exhale, not another thing you have to perform through.

Ways to get support:
1:1 Therapy
Whether you know exactly what you're dealing with or you're still trying to name it, we start with what you bring in. I work with adults and adolescents across a wide range of experiences. The approach shifts to fit you, not the other way around.
EMDR Therapy
You've explained it. You've traced it back. And it still shows up the same way it always has. EMDR works with where those experiences actually live in the nervous system, not just what you think about them. I'm certified. This is central to how I practice.
Play Therapy
Kids don't always have words for what they're carrying—and they don't need to. I work with children from a family systems perspective, meaning I'm looking at the whole picture. What's happening at home matters as much as what's happening in the room.
Ready to reach out?
You don't need to have everything figured out first. That's what the first conversation is for.
Supervision
If you're a therapist working toward EMDR certification, I offer consultation that counts toward your hours. I'm an EMDR Consultant-in-Training. I work with clinicians who want honest feedback on their cases and real room to develop the work.
