Hi there! My name is Colleen and I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and those who are pregnant and postpartum, ages 18 and up, experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and more. It is my privilege and goal to guide self-exploration with compassion and curiosity to support those who I work with to build a foundation of self-love and loving relationships in their lives.

I became a therapist when I realized my passion for sitting with others in their discomfort. Growing up, I always felt compelled to go beyond the "how are you?" to the deeper places, the ones people usually shied away from. I value meeting fellow humans in these moments because not everyone wants to. I am continually motivated to being a therapist because each human I work with is unique and valuable and being a therapist that helps them discover or rediscover that for themselves in their life is satisfying to my life's work.

I always say to the people who tell me they don't like books that there is a book for everyone. This same logic applies to therapy. There is a therapist for everyone. The therapeutic relationship is foundational for the journey, and it's okay to take your time finding the right one.

As a queer therapist serving the state of Colorado, I believe in fostering a safe space guided by my own brand of nurturing curiosity, humor, and compassion. I am a justice-oriented and aligned therapist who believes that individual and collective healing happen hand-in-hand. A session with me involves building trust in the therapeutic relationship, gentle curiosity, and a mix of systemic and somatic approaches that guide my clients towards self-liberation.
