A note from Colleen

My trauma-informed, non-judgmental approach supports clients in areas such as identity, gender, anxiety, depression, and relationships. My passion is in helping LGBTQIA+, Poly and Kink identified individuals navigate the complexities of trauma, including PTSD, C-PTSD, and developmental experiences that impact daily life. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to explore experiences, process trauma, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Together, we’ll use a variety of therapeutic tools to foster healing and growth.
