About Colleen

I have a passion for helping others realize their potential for growth and healing and I am inspired by the counselling process as you uncover the resiliency and strength you possess. I hold the tools to assist you in finding your own sense of relief through change, overcoming difficulties, and discovering solutions that lead you to your desired outcome.

I come from a first responder background and have had a lengthy career with the Correctional Service of Canada which has offered me a unique perspective on life and what it means to be immersed in a first responder culture. I am able to see through a different lens and have an understanding of occupational stress injury and PTSD.

My approach to therapy comes from a place of curiosity and compassion. My work is based on a client centered platform where every client is unique with different needs. It is all about you. It is my hope that together we can create a relationship of healing and growth within an emotionally safe and authentic/non-judgmental arena.

As a client-centered therapist, I will respond to what you tell me you need in each moment.

I may use any of the following theories and techniques, depending on your history, your goals, and the therapeutic style which is the most successful for you: CBT, Solution Focused, Strength based, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness.

I will tailor my services to meet your individual needs and explore new pathways to healing and change. Collaboratively, we will work with your strengths and help you discover your own solutions to overcome life’s challenges.
