Online Therapy Across Colorado and California, based in Castle Rock, CO.
You are in the in-between space where the old way of living is no longer working, and the new way hasn’t fully taken shape yet.
Specializing in anxious, overworked women who can no longer keep living the way they always have.
You’ve already decided to to change, but you’re not sure who you’ll be on the other side of it.
You know you have a lot to offer, and there’s a part of you that feels like you’re meant for more. Something in your life feels like it’s missing, even if you can’t fully explain it.
You’ve been ambitious and successful in many ways. On paper, you look like someone who handles things, holds things together, and keeps going even when it’s hard.
You’ve built a life that proves you can do it all. But you’ve reached a breaking point. Something in the way you’ve been living isn’t working anymore, and you can’t unsee it.
You can’t keep doing this…
-
A part of you feels tense even when things are “fine,” and then another part of you criticizes you for it.
Your body feels bad, but you can’t name why and you don’t know what else to call it but bad.
You spiral into shame about doing the “wrong” thing, even when you’re trying so hard to be intentional.
You feel like your needs don’t quite matter, even when you do so much for others.
A part of you is exhausted by all of it.
-
Setting boundaries feels agonizing, and even after you do it, a part of you doesn’t feel settled. You wonder why it doesn’t bring you relief or peace.
A part of you goes into overdrive when someone seems distant or upset.
A part of you replays interactions, looking for what you did wrong.
You give a lot in relationships while feeling unseen, unimportant, or like it’s all on you to hold things together.
-
You feel burned out and know that your life can’t keep going this way.
Something in you knows a change is needed, even if you don’t know what it looks like yet.
You’ve already taken the leap, changed careers, stepped back, or started something new, but you don’t fully recognize yourself in this new space yet.
Hi, I’m Laura.
I believe that it’s not about endless self-improvement. It’s about learning how to feel your way through the moments when what used to work for you stops working. Sometimes it’s about taking the slow way home.
Maybe a part of you groaned at that. I get it. I used to want to master or conquer my feelings too, and it didn’t work. I was caught up in our culture’s urgency, the push for quick fixes and fast results. We live in a culture that teaches us to fix, optimize, and improve ourselves instead of learning how to be with what’s actually happening inside us.
Insight is not enough. You can read self-help books, learn about emotionally immature parents and attachment styles, understand where things come from… and still feel stuck in the same internal patterns.
And sometimes, instead of helping, that insight turns into frustration with yourself. A sense that you “should” be doing better now that you know better.
Maybe even a quiet layer of shame for not being able to change it through understanding alone.
My work helps high-functioning, anxious women who are tired of turning healing into another project to stop relating to themselves through fixing, and begin to relate to themselves with more space, care, and presence. I work with women who are already in that in-between place, where the old way of coping and pushing through is no longer working, and something new is beginning to take shape, even if it’s not clear yet. Therapy with me honors the full reality of being human in that transition, and resists the pressure to constantly optimize or improve every part of yourself.
Therapy with me will not be a good fit if…
You're looking for quick fixes, strategies, or tools to make difficult feelings go away.
You're looking for advice more than self-exploration.
You’re hoping therapy will change other people.
You're looking for a highly structured, step-by-step approach with clear agendas rather than a more open-ended, exploratory process.
You’re looking for therapy to help you become an idealized version of yourself, rather than helping you reconnect with the person you’ve been all along.
Therapy with me might be a good fit if…
You're open to slowing down and getting curious about what's happening beneath the surface, even if you don't know how yet.
You're ready for more than another strategy to manage yourself.
You know you can't keep living the way you've been living.
You’re tired of trying to outwork or outthink your emotions.
Something in your life is changing, or needs to.
Specializing in…
-
For women whose old ways of coping, achieving, and pushing through are no longer enough.
-
For adults unpacking guilt, over-responsibility, and the long shadow of emotionally unavailable parenting.
-
If you’ve ever felt like different parts of you are pulling in different directions, you’re not imagining it. IFS helps you understand and connect with those parts so you can stop fighting yourself and start relating to your experience differently.
-
EFT is a mind-body approach that uses the meridian system to help the body settle when emotions feel overwhelming or stuck.
If the old ways of coping, pushing through, and figuring it all out aren't working anymore, here's what we do instead.
01
Let's connect by video for a vibe check. I'll ask a few questions about what's been feeling hard lately, what's no longer working, and what led you here. Together we'll get a feel for whether this feels like the right place for you.
02
Work with me
We start with weekly 60 min sessions to build trust and steadiness in our container. Over time, you begin to understand the parts of you that have been pushing, striving, managing, and holding everything together, and what they're afraid might happen if they stop.
03
Take the slow way home
Over time, you begin to come back to yourself in a way that feels steadier and more connected. Instead of overriding discomfort or fear, you learn how to stay with what’s happening inside you without abandoning yourself or rushing to fix it. You begin to build a different kind of steadiness, one that isn’t based on control or pushing through, but on being with yourself more fully.
Begin the slow way home. You’re already at the edge of change.
