As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy for adults and seniors navigating depression, anxiety, and substance use concerns. With a practical, compassionate approach, she partners with clients throughout California who are seeking professional mental health care grounded in experience and evidence-based treatment. Colleen specializes in treating depression, anxiety, and alcohol and drug use issues, while also supporting individuals through grief and major life transitions. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients better understand emotional patterns, regulate distress, and make meaningful behavioral changes. Her work is collaborative and goal-oriented, empowering clients to build coping strategies that strengthen long-term emotional wellness. She is especially passionate about helping individuals facing midlife transitions, later life transitions, and women's issues.

She provides thoughtful guidance to those adjusting to empty nesting, retirement, caregiving responsibilities, or shifting partnerships. By blending mindfulness-based strategies with structured therapeutic tools, she supports clients in regaining confidence and clarity during times of uncertainty. Since beginning her clinical practice in 2007, Colleen has brought depth, insight, and authenticity to her work. Her lived experience navigating family and mental health challenges informs her empathetic, nonjudgmental style. Outside of her professional role, she enjoys being a mother of two adult children and expressing creativity through sewing, crocheting, and home decorating.
