There are a certain type of

people who congregate at

the grassy campsites and sun-

drenched stage of the StateBridge concert venue outside of Bond, just a half hour north-east of Eagle on the Colorado River. As described by Darcy Giles, they’re “old souls, but young at heart.”

“It’s people who enjoy the outdoors,” says Giles, a self-described “jack of all trades” on the State Bridge mana-gerial team. “They want to enjoy the music, dance and have the freedom to kind of be one with nature.”

Thanks to pristine weath-er, the venue has been open every weekend since early May, but this Friday eve-ning marks the official start of the State Bridge concert season with three days of live shows. The musicians on hand are some of Colo-rado’s finest Americana and folk artists – Whitewater Ramble, Whiskey Tango and Great American Taxi headline, along with a spattering of local fa-vorites such as Hardscrabble – and the young-at-heart will follow en masse.

For Giles and the rest of the “State Bridge family” – a term she uses to describe her co-workers and a core group of regular concertgoers – this year is a milestone for the venue. Last summer was the first time concerts were held on the outdoor stage since 2007, when a mid-summer fire left the 117-year-old main lodge perilously damaged.

“I didn’t know what to expect, but on opening weekend a year ago, the love, the energy and the excitement showed just how important State Bridge is in the community, and even the state,” Giles says. “We saw a revitalization of the area. It was like coming home.”

Although the blaze was a devastating blow – an on-site manager barely escaped and the fire was later ruled arson – a group of locals took it as an opportunity to renovate the aging concert grounds, led by new owner Douglas Moog

and partner Scotty Stough-ton, the venue’s longtime promoter and a co-founder of the Snowball Music Festival. Chad Staehly, a founding member of the Nederland-based Ameri-cana quintet Great American Taxi, fondly remembers the old State Bridge site.

“We do miss the old lodge building and the way it used to be, but Doug and Scotty really created a phoe-nix from the ashes,” says Staehly, who played open-ing weekend last year and returns for a headlining set this Sunday. “State Bridge is one of those unique spots in the country. We play coast to coast, and there’s really no-

where else like it.” One reason for State Bridge’s quick resurrection was its

near-mythic reputation in the Colorado music community. It often earns comparisons to storied outdoor venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver, although long-time visitors favor State Bridge for the nearby yurts, cabins and traditional campsites.

“As fans and patrons of music, State Bridge is incred-ible,” says Patrick Sites, the mandolin player for Whitewater

It used to be that when a call came in to Vail Mountain Rescue, the police chief would go down to Donovan’s Copper Bar in Vail and see who was sober enough to join him.

According to Vail Mountain Rescue President Dan Smith, that system worked well for years through the 1980s, when the valley was small and the rescue group consisted

of a handful of all-round mountaineers.Today, the group – which aids local law enforcement in mountain incidents ranging from

lost hikers on Holy Cross to rafters in trouble on the Eagle River – is much bigger and more diverse. A roll call of its 60-some volunteer members sounds like some kind of mountain super-hero lineup.

There’s Mike Bradley, a professional climber who spends most summers scaling the Patagonia peaks. There’s Doug Schofield and Todd Goulding, the team’s swift-water rescue experts. There’s Mike Duffy, the snowmobile specialist.

Smith himself doesn’t go into the field as often anymore, but brings his military experience to the table as incident commander, running a tight ship during missions. Then there are the many members who may not have a singular spe-cialty, but know their stuff when it comes to the backcountry and have been trained by the group to be thorough and me-thodical when an emergency arises.

The nonprofit group does weekly training sessions and responds to anywhere from 50 to 100 incidents each year, calling on whichever members are willing and available to respond, Smith says.

The group is looking for new additions to the team and will hold its annual academy beginning May 30. The academy consists of two classroom sessions and a hands-on skills training that allows potential members to check out the group. Those who complete the academy then go through several certifications to become an active group member.

Smith stresses that you don’t have to be a backcountry pro to help out – the group can teach you all the necessary skills.

“We have professional climbers, EMTs, ski patrollers and river guides, and they share their skills,” says Smith, although he admits there are certain prerequisites. “People who want to do this are a little bit crazy, anyway. You have to love the backcountry and be will-ing to give something back to the community. No one gets lost at noon on a sunny day – my pager usually goes off at 3 a.m. Also, we work as a team, and professionally. We don’t want cowboys and heroes in this business.”

Why they do itVail Mountain Rescue draws a variety of people for many different reasons. Some love

the backcountry, others see that they have the skills and feel a sense of duty, others come from medical or emergency backgrounds, and some even joined after they were helped

themselves by the group.Smith loves the wilderness and enjoys the organizational aspect of the missions, but his

reasons are also much more personal.“For me, 28 of my guys didn’t make it out of Vietnam, and this is something they would

do,” he says.Jenika Doberstein, an assistant manager at the Edwards Fieldhouse, says she wanted to

find a way to use her degree in outdoor education. When she and her husband heard about the academy a few years ago, both jumped at the opportunity.

The work isn’t always glamorous – it can involve hours of fruitless hiking in search of a lost person, or an entire day spent waiting at a trailhead. Not all missions end with the lost parties being found or coming out alive – Smith counts off the number of lost parties the team never found (three) and still considers them “open cases.” But team members say nothing is more thrilling than seeing that hard work pay off by bringing people safely home.

Doberstein says she still remembers her first mission, a search for a lost hiker on Vail Pass.

“I was the one who first heard the guy yelling – a man was hiking and went off the trail and got caught off Vail Pass in a gully,” she says. “In that mo-ment when I heard that, I was so excited.”

Vail resident Dan Wallace says one of his most memorable experiences was being part of the search for eight lost skiers and snowboarders on the Minturn Mile.

“It was one of the most trying missions I’ve been on. It was during a snowstorm, and it was just really hard to find them,” Wallace says. “I remember when we saw the ski tracks and it was a matter of how to get down to them. I had to repel off a cliff to get to one guy. I had such a sense of satisfaction once we got everyone up and everyone was OK.”

Discovering new passionsMembers say one of the biggest benefits of joining the team is the opportunity to learn

new skills.Edwards lawyer Katie Van Schaack says she didn’t particularly have any specialized ex-

perience when she first heard about the group several years ago.“I saw a flyer for the academy that said, ‘Strong hikers needed,’ and I thought, ‘I can do

that,’” she says. Since joining the group three years ago, she’s expanded her skills beyond hiking, thanks

to the group’s training program.“When you first join, it can be kind of intimidating. You pick up the equipment and think,

‘Wow, this is kind of heavy.’ But you can train and learn and become very adept at some-

Sound interesting?The Vail Mountain Rescue Group will hold

its annual academy for potential new mem-bers. The academy consists of two class-room sessions and a hands-on skills class, with the first session on May 30 at 6 p.m. at the group’s headquarters in the Edwards ambulance district facilities. For more info see www.vailmountainrescue.org.

Eagle-Vail’s solar-heated outdoor pool official opened for the summer, and the facility is offering free admission on Saturday, May 19.

The pool will be open weekends throughout May. Early season pool hours are Fridays from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. In May, adult morning lap swim will begin at 6 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, starting May 14.

The pool will be open daily beginning Saturday, May 26, through Labor Day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Kids are invited to kick off the regular swim season on Friday, May 25, with a Teen Pool Party for sixth to eighth graders. A DJ will spin tunes as the kids enjoy dinner and swimming from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Cost is $10. Immediately following, everyone is invited to enjoy pool until 10 p.m. for the first

Beginning May 26 adults can train alongside Josiah Mid-daugh, a top XTERRA triathlete and local athletic trainer, who will be training at the adult morning lap swim at 6 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. For those wanting to try out the facilities, adults can attend the adult swim free for a week before paying the $125 season fee. Drop-in fees are $4 per day.

Regular day passes are $9 for Eagle-Vail residents and $12 for non-residents. Children under 5 are free, when ac-companied by an adult.

Season passes cost is $200 per individual and $375 per family for Eagle-Vail residents, and $250 per individual and $475 per family for non-residents. Ten-punch cards are $70 for residents and $95 for non-residents. Watch for details about swim team and lessons, swim/golf passes, masters swimming, special events and several other free swim days throughout the season.

Eagle-Vail opened its new pool and picnic area last season and community leaders say they plan to organize a dynamic swim team, lessons and aquatic programs. The pool also welcomes a new manager, Susanna Morgan of Gypsum.

Morgan has been working for the Western Eagle County Metropolitan Recreation District for the past five years as the aquatics director, coordinating all aquatics programs and special events.

“I am extremely excited to begin working with the Eagle-Vail community as the pool manager,” says Morgan. “I look forward to getting to know the community, building upon the existing programs and creating new ones – and to having a safe and fun summer.”

Ramble. “It’s a beautiful place that embodies all the things we love about Colorado: the mountains, the river, the atmo-sphere.”

Despite a relatively secluded location, the venue also at-tracts high-profile acts. Giles says members of the Grate-ful Dead have sat in with local bands over the years, and Colorado legend Bill McKay of Leftover Salmon will play keyboard for Whitewater Ramble on Friday.

“You really get to see a normal side of these world-re-nowned musicians,” Giles says. “These guys sit at the same campfire and jam at night – they just want to be around ev-eryone. It’s incredible to see, but very relaxed.”

Last year’s reopening was stellar for music, Giles says, and organizers look to build on that foundation with more recreation options. They’ll offer on-site yoga classes, a concierge service and barbecue from local favorite Moe’s Original BBQ. They’ve partnered with a number of nearby

guides, including Stand Up Paddle Colorado, for kayak and paddle tours through September. Giles hopes the broader scope leads to State Bridge’s long-term survival.

“We’ve really tried to create an overall vacation area,” Giles says. “They come here at night to enjoy a concert, then during the day we have river tours, zip line tours, horseback riding – we just need to create a community.”

State Bridge has attracted a plethora of music, but opening weekend is traditionally heavy with the finest of Colorado’s homegrown folk, Americana and jam rock acts. Self-pro-claimed “dancegrass” band Whitewater Ramble headlines Friday evening, followed by the young Denver-based funk/bluegrass group Whiskey Tango on Saturday. The weekend ends with Staehly and Vince Herman leading a set by Great American Taxi.

Lauren Magdaleno is looking for a fight.It’s Thursday evening at Inyodo Martial Arts studio in

Eagle, and 16-year-old Lauren is furiously tussling on the mats against Angelo Fernandez – and quite often, getting the upper hand.

It’s jiu-jitsu practice at Inyodo, and Fernandez is one of Lauren’s regular training partners – he has a good five inches on her and a few pounds as well, but the amazing thing is, they’re well matched. As the fighters grapple, wrestle and occasionally flip each other over with a dull thud, it’s appar-ent that the petite, pony-tailed sophomore from Eagle Valley High School is quite in her element.

Then again, Brazilian jiu-jitsu – a form of martial arts that emphasizes getting an opponent to the ground in order to use wrestling-type techniques, joint locks and choke holds to force an opponent into submission – is all about using tech-nique and positioning to give a smaller fighter an advantage over a bigger, stronger opponent.

Lauren has been training in jiu-jitsu since she was 8 years old, usually fighting her father, who taught her the sport, and other men who train at the studio. There aren’t too many female peers for her to train with, and consequently most of her experience has been against much bigger and stronger opponents.

All that training will be coming to a head for Lauren at the end of the month as she heads to Long Beach, Calif., to compete at the World Jiu-Jitsu Championships. She will compete in the featherweight girl’s division against the best in the world, and her goal is to win.

Onto WorldsThe aspiration isn’t farfetched, especially in light of Lau-

ren’s recent win last month at the Pan-American champion-

ships, where she came out on top among her peers. The win is her most memorable, she says. During her rounds, only black-belts were allowed in the coaching area, meaning her father and coach, Isaac Magdaleno, had to stand with the au-dience while her opponent’s coaches were a few feet away.

“It was kind of intimidating at first, with my opponents having their coaches there,” she says. “It’s nice to have someone there who can help you when you get stuck.”

Still, Lauren showed she didn’t need a coach mat-side, beating her first opponent in a lightning-fast 51 seconds, and then finishing off her last opponent with the same move.

“It’s the biggest tournament I’ve been in so far,” she says. “Having the Pan-Ams under your belt is a huge accomplish-ment. I was really proud to be there.”

At the world championships, from May 31 to June 1, she’ll go up against girls from around the world, including Brazil and Japan, where the sport has its roots. Meanwhile, she’s been working hard toward that goal, training at the martial arts studio two nights a week, doing CrossFit workouts be-fore school three times a week and competing in Denver-tournaments in the women’s divisions on weekends.

This has been a breakout year for Lauren. Besides her re-cent victories, she turned 16, allowing her to compete in the highest caliber of tournaments. That also means she’ll now be eligible to earn a blue belt. Eventually, she says she’d love to earn a black belt, one of the highest rankings in the sport and an accomplishment that takes most people 10 to 15 years.

According to Bobby Hermosillo, the head Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor at Inyodo, Lauren’s strength is in her techni-cal ability, flexibility and speed.

“Jiu-jitsu is designed so the smaller guy is able to have the upper hand on the bigger opponent,” Hermosillo says. “Lauren is the epitome of that.”

A family affairFor the Magdalenos, jiu-jitsu is a bit of a family affair.

Isaac Magadaleno, who practices the sport himself, coaches Lauren with the help of Hermosillo. Lauren’s younger sib-lings do jiu-jitsu and kickboxing as well, and her stepmother has a jiu-jitsu world title of her own.

Lauren says her father, whom she calls her “coach and motivator,” got her started on the sport, but she was hooked on competition almost immediately. She admits that her sport is a bit unconventional, especially for a teenaged girl, but that’s part of what draws her to jiu-jitsu.

“It was always something so different for me and I always enjoyed it. It’s very different from other martial arts. When I got competitive, I actually figured I have a talent for it – I love winning,” Lauren says matter-of-factly. “My friends are really stoked that I’m winning. They always say they want to come watch my next tournament. When I tell new people about it, they are very shocked at how this 5-foot-2 girl can probably whup up on them.”

Aside from her martial arts accomplishments, Lauren says she’s also made school a priority. She’s a straight-A student, and also is one her school’s track and volleyball teams.

At the Inyodo studio, Hermosillo works through a variety of techniques with Lauren, and she picks up his instruction quickly. He describes Lauren as a “guard fighter,” someone who fights well on their back. He has also given her a “top game,” he says, allowing her to fight well from on top.

“She’s really talented – more than she realizes,” Hermosil-lo says. “She’ll get frustrated (in practice), but she doesn’t realize she’s up against guys who are 40 or 50 pounds heavi-er than she is. She’s really coming into her own.”

Senior spotlightTake it from a high school senior: After 12 years of classes and tests, graduation is worth

waiting for, even if it only marks the beginning of tougher things to come outside of the classroom.

“After my final class on the last day of school, I’m going to do a victory dance and con-tinue to count down the days until graduation,” says Jasmine Garvin, an Eagle Valley High School grad who’s attending the University of Denver on an academic scholarship next fall. “The most exciting part about leaving Eagle County would be that I get to experience the city life. Leaving is definitely bittersweet and nerve-wracking, but I’m also looking forward to it greatly.”

Between May 26 and June 2, roughly 367 seniors from five Eagle County high schools will (hopefully) receive their hard-earned diplomas, marking an end to a major portion of their young lives. The moment will be bittersweet, but like Garvin, all are looking forward to what the future brings.

Crammed between final exams and early-summer plans, a handful of standout graduates spoke with SneakPEAK about what they’ll miss, what they’re excited for and what they learned – inside of high school or out.

Cristina Villegas, Red Canyon High SchoolAttending Mesa State University.

What are your plans for the summer? After high school, I plan to dedicate time to my son.

What’s your fondest memory of high school? When I was helping at the RCHS infant nursery where my son stayed and we put together Christmas presents with every baby’s picture.

At your 10-year high school reunion, what do you hope to be doing? For our 10-year reunion, I hope to have a stable career in nursing.

Nick Braun, Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy (alpine ski)Taking a year off to ski race, then attending University of Colorado-Boulder with the

goal of racing Division I with CU in 2013.What’s the most exciting part about leaving Eagle County? I am excited to get out of

the small-town vibe and experience life in a city for a few years.

Who’s your favorite teacher and why? Mr. Moser, because he always had as much fun as we did making trouble in the science lab.

If you could relive one day from high school, what would it be? The day I foreran the Birds of Prey World Cup Downhill (course) in Beaver Creek.

At your 10-year high school reunion, what do you hope to be doing? I hope I’m skiing a ton with a job in Jackson, Wyo.

Damian Montes, Eagle Valley High SchoolAttending Colorado Mountain College for the basics, then pursuing a paramedic career.What special awards or scholarships have you received? The Alpine Bank Latino

Scholarship, which I am very grateful for. It covers my tuition and books for two years. It wouldn’t have been possible to start college or even enroll if it wasn’t for CMC and all the Alpine Bank representatives. There is a special thanks to the chairman of Alpine Bank, J. Robert Young.

What’s your fondest memory of high school? My most meaningful memory is the day I started high school. I still remember how I thought how I acted and how careless I was. In four years, everything about me changed for the better. My most precious memory was every second of when I was a high school student, because every single second I gained experience.

Meghann Gutierrez, Battle Mountain High SchoolAttending Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland

What’s your favorite memory from high school? Freshman year, there was a mean article posted in the school newspaper directed towards my quirky fashion sense, and the next day I wore the same outfit they were making fun of, only with a bag that said, “Fashion takes courage, and I’ve got guts.” It taught me at an early stage in high school to stay myself, regardless of what others think or say. It’s a valuable lesson, not only in high school, but also in life.

What band are you most embarrassed for liking in the past four years? I had a Jonas Brothers phase –I’m even more embarrassed to say that I had 67 posters of them in my tiny room. A miracle they fit.

What was your biggest achievement in the past four years? I’d have to say that ac-cepting Christ in my life after battling an intense depression. God was the one who gave me the strength to carry on and to come back to school with a bang of new light and new life.

The high school class of 2012 reflects on the past and future. Interviews by Melanie Wong and Phil Lindeman

Montana Nash, Battle Mountain High SchoolAttending the University of Michigan’s School of

Nursing, with scholarshipsWhat’s your favorite memory from high school? Dancing at the homecoming soccer game in a blizzard.What would be the theme song of your senior year? “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.”If money was no object, where would you travel to? Spain so I could use my Spanish!What was your biggest achievement in the past four years? Graduating as one of the top in my class while staying busy in extracurricular activities.

Paula Moltzan, Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy (alpine ski)

Competing with the U.S. Ski Team next year.After your final class of high school, what’s the first thing you want to do?

For nearly three years, plans for a new development on the east end of Eagle have been the big question mark for the town’s future. A major proposal, Eagle River Station, would transform the empty swath of land into something akin to Silverthorne in Summit County: a retail center capitalizing on the area’s one natural resource – space.

This project has drawn admirers and detractors since the beginning, each with compelling arguments for Eagle’s fu-ture as an economic hub in Eagle County. Two of the most vocal advocacy groups – “Eagle, Co – Keep It Real?” and land developer RED Development – have fought for the eco-nomic stability of the town with different iteration of Eagle River Station, which now includes close-proximity residen-tial areas, restaurant property and retail space for big box stores similar to Costco.

Before any building can take place, though, the town’s residents must approve the development. In time for a public vote on May 22, SneakPEAK asked two leaders from the most vocal groups – including Brandi Resa, a newly elected member of the town board, and the developer’s social-media manager, August Wittenberg – to discuss the pros, cons and future of the proposal at stake for Eagle River Station.

Brandi ResaCampaign Lead for Eagle, Co – Keep It Real!

We believe a citizen’s voice should matter. Instead of a smaller project following denial by voters in January 2010, the developer came back with 30 percent more retail (space) and more parking. Most citizens who oppose this project are not against development, particularly in east Eagle. But the size, national corporate nature and cost of this project simply do not embrace our unique small-town character. And the “Anywhere, USA” aspect of it does nothing to showcase our recently branded name, “Classic Colorado,” and risks elimi-nating our marketing effectiveness that now has a dedicated funding source and staff.

Since no model or drive-by simulation was provided by

the developer for citizens to see the true scale, some might have a hard time envisioning 550 housing units with little outdoor space, 59-foot-tall buildings (Brush Creek Saloon is 42 feet tall), or the allowed 3,660 parking spaces (Avon’s Walmart/Home Depot has 1,405).

It seems difficult to imagine the projected revenues associ-ated with this project at full build-out, because if you look around the valley (let alone the country), many projects do not get fully built. This project is entirely dependent on low gas prices, and the developer’s projections include Steam-boat Springs, Silt and Frisco in their primary trade area, which comprises 60 to 65 percent of the projected revenue.

We also have a hard time accepting some of their job num-bers, such as 300 restaurant jobs in Phase I. Even if we as-sume 60 jobs per restaurant, that is five restaurants for Phase I alone. The developer’s report states that all revenue from this project will be new revenue (not shifted from other Ea-gle businesses), and if you look at five new restaurants open-ing and say, “This will not affect the existing businesses,” this seems unreasonable.

Although Eagle is facing challenging times like most households, towns and businesses, the town has held steady during these tough economic times and has a budget that fits our size. We fully support development and growth, but we believe we can have a project that embraces who we are as a community and does not require such expensive infrastruc-ture (such as the $16 to $22 million interchange), which is not needed but for this project.

Please check www.YesToEagle.com or our Facebook page, “Eagle, Co - Keep It Real!” We ask that people trust in their community and their newly elected mayor, Yuri Ko-stick, and vote “no” (again) on May 22.

to different people who have worked first-hand with RED outside of our community and from meeting with Jeff Mc-Mahon and Dave Claflin from the development company, we decided to accept the job.

RED Development is a first-rate retail developer that cares about their projects and their communities. RED has never had a development “go dark,” and with existing properties, their occupancy rate is between 85 and 100 percent. On newer properties (including ERS), RED will not begin con-struction until they have 65 percent occupancy. It is healthy for the development for an underperforming tenant to “go dark” and bring in a better-performing tenant. Additionally, because of RED’s great track record for successful develop-ments, they can attract top-name retailers.

The opposition has distorted or been inaccurate with some of the facts in their campaign. They say ERS is 30 percent larger than the first plan. The project is on the exact same piece of land as was originally brought to the town for devel-opment. The people of Eagle said they did not want as much housing or a hotel – so RED redesigned ERS by reducing the housing and making them rental units. They also eliminated the hotel, and 250 of those housing units are in Phase II.

Phase II can be changed by approval of the Town Trustees if the market is better suited for something else. By replacing housing units and a hotel with additional retail space, ERS will actually bring more money to the town through sales-tax revenue.

Also, ERS is not 80 percent bigger than Glenwood Mead-ows. Phase I of Glenwood Meadows is approved for 100 acres (currently 66 acres are built). ERS is approved for 58 acres in Phase I. In Phase II, Glenwood Meadows is ap-proved for an additional 52 acres, and ERS Phase II is only an additional 28 acres.

RED development is giving us a project that will greatly improve our town finances and economy through increased jobs and sales-tax revenue. The increase in jobs and town infrastructure will also help property values.

If you have any questions about RED, their history or Eagle River Station, please contact me or ask questions on the Eagle River Station Facebook page. We have a great op-portunity before us – vote “yes” on ERS.

thing in a short time that you never gave a thought to be-fore,” Van Schaack says. “For example, ropes. I had never even climbed before, and now I’m really into ropes.”

Vail resident Gregg Orlinsky has been on the team for about two years and was introduced to the organization while chatting with a member on the chairlift. As an avid backcountry skier and former scuba instructor, he saw a way to put his skills to work.

“I was looking for a way to get involved in the community and using the skills they teach you to help others is very rewarding,” says Orlinsky, who has added climbing skills to his repertoire through team trainings. “It’s been so much fun, and I’ve really discovered a new passion in my life. I’m hooked. I love this kind of work.”

The team is diverse, and includes younger people in their 20s and 30s, such as Orlinsky, Doberstein and Wallace, as

well as veterans into their 60s, such as Smith.“There are people from all walks of life,” Orlinsky says.

“You have people who work minimum-wage jobs and mil-lionaires. But when we’re working we’re all equal, except for the guys who have more experience. We cooperate as a team when we’re on a mission.”

Samaritan Counseling Center

Spiritually-integrated psychotherapy

Deb Felio, M.A., L.P.C., is a nationally recognized presenter and therapist specializing in attachment issues for adoptive and blended families, individuals healing from trauma, and those who want to change the repeated patterns of choosing the wrong people.For real change, change how you connect.To set up an appointment, Call Deb directly at 303-548-8902.

Do you rarely enjoy being with your family?

Do you worry about never having someone who cares about you?

Do you wonder why others need so much closeness?

What we know is what we do, and it begins with attachment.The fi rst connections experienced in life infl uence our relationships and interactions for years. When there have been interruptions to those early attachments - whether adoption, divorce, death, medical crises, abandonment or abuse - the basis for trust and security in relationships is affected.

Identifying your attachment/connection style and the beliefs associated with it can move you toward what you want in your relationships and in your life.
