Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Colleen, a licensed therapist in Oregon & Washington, with a masters degree in counseling. I help individuals who have experienced trauma, shame, depression, anxiety, grief, or lowered esteem. We have the power to heal forward to grow personal freedom, increase self-worth, and lower distress.

My approach to therapy

I work in compassion and non-judgment, fostering safety in the therapy session. I operate from a trauma-informed, inclusive lens, and I customize approach to each client's needs. I pull from CBT, DBT, Somatic, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, & Attachment theories. With clients, emotional safety is of utmost importance, and I am warm, client-centered, inquisitive. I value feedback-informed care. I can be direct and challenge you, as is helpful.

What you can expect from me

Maybe you seek guidance digging into deeper emotions and healing forward. Maybe you've not had a safe space to be yourself. Maybe you long for self-care amid life transitions or trauma. My clients grow more attuned to themselves and to their stories, and they experience freedom from thinking patterns and wounded beliefs.
