Hi, I’m Colleen! I am a therapist who believes that genuine connection is the foundation of meaningful change. I earned my degree in Psychology and Neuroscience from the University of Connecticut (UCONN) and my clinical degree from Simmons University. I’ve spent the past ten years working with individuals across a wide range of settings in the mental health field. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I strive to create a space where you can feel at ease, understood, and supported as you explore whatever brought you to therapy. Clients often tell me that I’m warm, personable, and easy to talk to which are qualities I value deeply in this work. I use CBT and DBT most often.Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, I’m here to walk with you at your pace and help you build tools that genuinely fit your life. My goal is to make therapy feel less intimidating and more like a conversation that helps you grow, heal, and thrive.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
