About Colleen
Colleen takes a collaborative, client-centered approach. She listens for what matters most, then helps clients set small, realistic goals. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing intense feelings, and finding ways to cope day to day.
Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and challenges linked to autism and Asperger syndrome. She also addresses problems such as dissociation, dependent personality patterns, and the fallout from divorce or infidelity. Clients may bring worries about guilt, shame, emptiness, or midlife transitions.
Colleen uses a mix of methods to fit each person’s needs. Techniques are drawn from client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and somatic work. These methods are chosen to help with emotional regulation, motivation for change, and reconnecting with the body’s signals.
With four years of practice, she focuses on building practical skills and steady progress. People who want straightforward, empathetic guidance and clear steps forward may find her style helpful. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete the matching questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to online work
Colleen blends client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and make concrete changes. Client-centered therapy means the client’s goals guide sessions and the therapist follows the person’s pace to build trust and clarity. DBT offers specific skills for regulating intense feelings and improving relationships. Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations so they can respond more calmly.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Colleen will listen to what you want to address and suggest methods that match your goals and preferences. Together you can try different tools and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness or somatic exercises between meetings and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
