My name is Colleen (she/her), and I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Arizona State University in August 2026. I work with clients of all ages to move beyond survival mode and cultivate greater authenticity, connection, and self-assurance.
My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in authenticity. I believe clients are the experts of their own lived experience and already possess the capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change. I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel safe, respected, affirmed, and empowered to explore challenges with curiosity rather than judgment. My goal is to help clients develop greater self-trust, resilience, and confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges both inside and outside of therapy.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities! I am particularly passionate about providing attuned, affirming, and personalized care to LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent (ADHD/autism) individuals, and bring both professional and lived experience to this work. I also support clients navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, religious trauma, childhood trauma, relationship challenges, separation and divorce, life transitions, chronic people-pleasing, and identity exploration. While these are just some of the concerns I commonly work with, I welcome individuals with a wide range of experiences, challenges, and goals for therapy.
