Hi, I’m Colleen, a counselor in Colorado Springs. I take a nervous system–informed approach to therapy, helping clients understand how their bodies respond to stress, trauma, and anxiety. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered with tools you can use both in and outside of sessions. I work with teens and adults experiencing challenges related to body image, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Together, we focus on building awareness, regulation skills, and self-compassion while gently addressing the deeper patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
I use a combination of person centered talk therapy (lets connect), EMDR (for going deeper/processing trauma) and parts work (identifying parts of self). I also use psychoeducation to help clients understand how stress and trauma affect our mental health and regulation. I love the deep work AND practical tools- both are needed for healing to happen!
Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. But, you don’t have to figure this out alone. Therapy is a space to feel heard and understood, learn how to regulate and set boundaries, and gently build tools that help you feel more grounded. I’d be honored to support you in the next step of healing.

I often use person centered counseling to get to know my client and understand what stressors are happening in real time. Then we dive deep into identifying core beliefs and how these beliefs shape our self talk, confidence, anxiety, and relationships. Once we have gained awareness and trust we start working together towards regulation, address ing trauma, and growth towards peace and confidence.
