I am a therapist who meets people where they are, honoring each individual’s unique life circumstances. My approach is non-judgmental, respectful, and grounded in creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore personal challenges at their own pace. I bring over 20 years of experience to my work, including extensive experience in mental health outpatient services. When someone enters my virtual office, my goal is to fully understand their situation so that we can work collaboratively toward meaningful and realistic goals. Together, we explore both inner experiences—such as thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.
I also have experience working in mental health outpatient services as a family therapist, supporting family members and loved ones of individuals living with severe mental illness. This specialized support continues to be available through my private practice.
I draw from approaches such as CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, DBT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), while also emphasizing the simple yet profound tools of listening. Together as client and therapist we explore each individual’s, couple’s, or family’s unique life story.

I facilitated a DBT group with Colleen for 5 years, and it was a pleasure to work with and learn from her. She is a sensitive, caring and wise person. She listens in a non- judgemental way and brings humour and warmth to her interactions. She is a gem!

While it very much depends upon what you yourself are bringing to the sessions, I will apply skills from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Buddhist Philosophy/psychology, and/or skills from Internal Family Systems and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy. All of these approaches take into account the person as a whole, addressing thinking patterns, physical sensations, and emotions.
