About Colleen
When trauma happens, it can impact every aspect of your life; relationships, emotions, identity, and the ability to feel safe and connected. Untangling those experiences can feel overwhelming.
Colleen works with youth (16+), and adults who have experienced trauma and PTSD. She has extensive experience supporting people with trauma and trauma related issues such as addiction, borderline personality disorder, dissociation, attachment trauma, traumatic injury and developmental trauma. Colleen works collaboratively with you at your own pace that feels manageable and supportive, creating space to process painful traumatic experiences with care and compassion.
Colleen believes therapy works best when people feel safe, understood, and free from judgement. In session, Colleen brings a grounded, empathetic presence while gently encouraging reflection, growth, and meaningful change. She understands healing is not linear, and that trust, safety and connection are essential pillars in the therapeutic process.
In therapy Colleen uses an eclectic approach to support you in processing emotions and experiences that leave you stuck. She is trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
With 10 years of experience in mental health and addiction settings, Colleen brings clinical knowledge and deep compassion to her work.
Through therapy Colleen aims to help you reconnect with yourself, build self-compassion, and a create a life that is meaningful and authentic.
Colleen is a registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW).
