Psychotherapy
Welcome! so glad you're here. If you're experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional rollercoaster or low mood, fatigue, irritability - you'll find my therapeutic model helps you shift unwanted emotional/behavioral patterns, to reduce self-judgement, and feel more ease... with your Self, relationships and sense of belonging. Compassionate evidence-based therapy is the mainstay of our work together - helping to improve your mental, emotional and physical health. I treat adults/young adults & couples and have specialized training in anxiety, mood disorders, habits, trauma, childhood issues & interpersonal communication, stress.
Clients often say that they appreciate my down-to earth nature, calm accepting way and humor/hope. My approach toward treatment is to help you understand and diminish troublesome thoughts and behaviors. And to promote self-awareness to foster interpersonal & emotional skills. The process of our therapeutic sessions become experiential growth opportunities.
We start right where you are, and tailor cognitive, behavioral, and mindbody approaches to your unique needs. Approaches can be both practical and deep ... helping you live with more ease, meaning and connection. It's possible to heal, have more rewarding relationships ... and feel healthy. I look forward to building your trust as a caring listener.

Evidence-Based Solutions
Integrative & Traditional approaches
Using evidenced-based practices, Colleen’s approach is practical, down-to earth, and accessible. She’s empathic, attuned to your needs and solutions-based. Together, working with mindful, neuro-cognitive-behavioral and social-interpersonal approaches, we begin to notice things about ourselves and to see habits of mind… to see what’s working or …perhaps what’s holding us back… When that happens it becomes easier to gain clarity and then begin to implement change. Research shows that mindfulness-based and interpersonal neurobiology approaches have the ability to structurally change our brains and help us to choose healthy responses to life, work, and relationships. You want to feel better... and it's about the human connection along with a skilled empathetic clinician supporting you through… improving Emotional Intelligence, EQ, communication/interpersonal skills, distinguishing good from bad stress, behavior change, cultivating compassion, (especially with yourself) - learning mindfulness, and restorative practices - to shift habits, creating meaningful connections …that can help.
