LMFT, 16 years of experience
We all have the opportunity in our life to start fresh. During the journey, we change, grow, heal, destroy, and can improve our lives. You will experience difficulties, and you are not alone. We are not alone in this world, but we are compelled to isolate ourselves from the fear of experiencing too much pain. I have many years of clinical training with life experiences, including successes and failures, but we are not provided a how to manual at birth. I have a sense of humor, but good sound clinical judgment, so take a leap of faith.
From the minute you pick up the phone for a session, you have already started the change and the willingness to emotionally grow. First session with me you will begin to breath easier as if you have finally found help and can emotionally grow.
Understanding the human experience and being able to help you navigate through any difficulties or challenges.
Couples in conflict, individuals experiencing sadness, loneliness, internal conflict, life changing, families difficulties, friends, pets, relationships, within all aspects of life.

Colette just gets me. She has helped me so much in just five sessions. I know this is the beginning for me, but she has been a godsend. I am so grateful for her.

I felt an instant connection with Colette and she was very understanding, warm, open-minded and encouraged me to share my issues with her.

Colette is personable, keeps it light while trying to solve problems and listens intently.
Difficulties in life include employment, life transitions, problems in relationships, divorce, death, and financial hardships. You might experience low motivation and burnout when trying to reach treatment goals. Together, we will create change in your life to grow and experience peace, contentment, and joy.
Our life is built around systems as the theorist has applied to the systems of your internal self.
Working with couples can be challenging, considering cultural, personality, and general dynamic complexities. When people fall in love, the expectation of needing couples counseling is not necessarily something we think about. Pre-marital counseling is always a good recommendation to uncover ways to strengthen complex communication styles. Primarily, most couples seek couples counseling when the struggle to communicate effectively becomes severely impaired. The couple struggles with acknowledgment, understanding each other's perspective, and active listening. Several obstacles include parenting strategies, in-laws, and intimacy. I use a unique blend of counseling techniques tailored individually to each couple.
I have years of advanced training and higher education in clinical psychology. I have an eclectic way of blending treatment modalities to suit your therapeutic needs. You will have a special blend of IFS, CBT, DBT, and EFT. Most importantly, we will focus on strategies tailored to meet you're designed treatment goals.
