About me

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon with over 12 years of experience working as a counselor with children, adults, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting stressors, OCD, relationship difficulties, and ADHD. I also helped many individuals who have experienced physical, verbal or emotional abuse as a child or adult.

I would describe my style as warm and supportive, and I am ready to work with you to help you move forward. Collaboration is important - together we can work on establishing concrete goals and steps for you to help overcome your current challenges.

I believe in treating everyone with upmost respect, empathy, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral theory, strengths perspective, systems theory, and problem-solving approaches. I will adapt each session and interaction to meet your unique and specific needs at that time pulling on various approaches.

Seeking therapy is not an easy decision to make, and I want to commend you for wanting to create a better life for yourself. I would love to support you and be part of your journey towards the goal of a more fulfilling life.

I look forward to working with you!

Colleen is the best! Warm, curious, insightful - she has been able to hold me in the most vulnerable time and I cannot thank her enough for providing her unconditional positive regard at this time of my life.

Colleen is a wonderful therapist. She is thoughtful and truly cares about her clients. I feel like she really helped me to uncover some of the things that had been holding me back. I would recommend her to anyone.
