My name is Colleen (she/her), and I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University. I have a strong passion for working with children and adolescents, providing them with a safe and non-judgmental space to process their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My background includes working in education with students who have individualized education plans, behavioral intervention plans, autism spectrum disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, other neurocognitive disabilities, trauma histories, and involvement in juvenile corrections.
I enjoy working with clients of all ages, and regardless of age, I view therapy as a collaborative process to support individuals in navigating their lives. I approach each client from a holistic, person-centered perspective, integrating expressive arts, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and play to empower individuals throughout their therapy journey.
