All of us get "stuck" at some point in our lives. It doesn't mean we are broken; rather, it means we must find our way back to a path of healthy and effective living. Sometimes, like quicksand, the harder we try to get out, the more we feel like we are sinking. I am a clinical psychologist with specialized training in treatment for anxiety , sleep disorders, depression, interpersonal difficulties, life transitions, and trauma. Regardless of diagnosis, our work together will help you better understand your strengths and challenges, and find a way to move forward toward a more fulfilling life.

I work compassionately with individuals across the life span to identify and solve problems.

I take a person centered, individualized approach to help clients increase happiness. Helping individuals and families strengthen their relationships is an important factor in lowering depression and anxiety and creating emotional wellness.

It’s no secret that there are times when we all become overwhelmed, feel down, or we just don’t know where to turn. There are also times when we experience hardship, feel hopeless, or think we are not good enough. I have been there before, I know that it can get better. That’s why I chose a career as a LCMHC. In my six years of counseling, I find joy in helping clients find a way back to a sense of well-being. Together, we work to find the root cause of difficulties, begin building a healthy perception of self and ultimately progress towards living a life you deserve and desire.

I believe that every human is shaped by an interplay of factors that come from within and without the person. That is to say that the power of therapy comes from a deeper understanding of the forces inside and out that shape a person into a unique individual. I also find that the center of psychotherapy is the relationship--the relationship with those in one’s life, the relationship with the therapist, and the relationship with oneself. Whether you are seeking therapy to find a deeper purpose in your life, or you are experiencing life’s challenges in the form of pain, anxiety , depression, loss, or conflict, I am here to help.

Welcome! I’m Colleen, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counseling Associate. Asking for help can be really hard. It’s also normal and courageous. As a counselor, I’m here to support people of all identities in their process of growth, healing and self-discovery. I work hard to create a warm, compassionate and safe space and believe in taking time to build a relationship based on trust and connectedness. I feel that I can best support individuals by understanding the experiences that have shaped them – family, culture, career, trauma, relationships, and systems of power.

Accepting new clients: I believe in addressing the full picture of the client, growth, and healing. I recognize that each client' story is unique and deserves a unique approach. I use integrative styles of therapy to create a client-centered fit. I am professionally multi-disciplined much like my educational background which includes psychology, clinical social work, and education. I bring to therapy a culturally competent atmosphere that welcomes all people who are ready to grow. I enjoy the empowerment perspective, strength-based therapy, trauma-informed therapy, coping skill building and more.

In my work as a counselor, I strive to promote change. I believe through the process of counseling change occurs internally and externally by developing healthy skills to promote positive change. My goal is to help empower clients to face their struggles and be able to live a life based on their values and what is most important to them. I have experience working with clients who face various struggles in the following areas: depression, anxiety , eating disorders, grief and loss, ADD, autism, anger management, family relationship difficulties and self-harm.

My approach to therapy is client-centered: clients are the experts on their lives and determine the direction and depth of therapy. Through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals.

My introduction to counseling started well before I became a clinician. As a widow raising young children without the support of a husband/father, life was overwhelming and, initially, felt impossible to bear. Fear, anxiety , depression, anger, and sometimes debilitating emotional pain worked overtime to leave me feeling hopeless. The decision to reach out for help changed my life. It was empowering and provided the needed tools to not only survive but to thrive. Now, with over 10 yrs as a clinician, I look forward to working with you to provide an experience of empowerment as you grow through whatever led you to seek support.

*I currently have afternoon (12pm-4pm) availability for In-Person and Telehealth Sessions!* Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I focus on client strengths and inner resources to assist individuals with achieving their ideal lifestyle. I believe that therapy can help people focus on the solutions and utilize the resources in their lives. If you feel like you are lost, overwhelmed, or alone, I am here to assist you with developing your goals and implement coping strategies to help manage the difficulties that you are facing.

My clients consider me to be an empathic listener, a keen observer, and a calming presence. I bring a warm smile, a curious, gentle, friendly manner, a ready laugh, and a healthy self into my therapy sessions every day. I sincerely care about the people I work with and work hard to create a warm and trusting environment for clients of all ages. Forming and nurturing relationships is my strength. It's within the context of a healthy relationship that emotional and mental healing occurs. I'm trained to facilitate treatment for internet and technology compulsions and addictions including gaming, online pornography, and related issues.

My approach to the counseling relationship is non judgmental and open. I hope to create an environment of safety and acceptance. The goal of the relationship is to establish trust and I do so by coming alongside the client instead of pushing or pulling them to a place they are not yet comfortable. My natural way of being with the client is very bubbly, positive and incorporating laughter into therapy, while helping my clients feel heard. I view the counseling process as a collaborative approach between you & I, and that there is no universal approach to therapy.
