About me

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California and have been practicing since 2017. I believe our therapeutic journey is a path to be walked on with a healing partner. I work with organic and eclectic therapeutic methods specifically tailored to meet your goals. I consider it a privilege to be given entrance into the lives and hearts of my clients.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with individuals with Complex PTSD, substance use disorders, and trauma since 2017, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to tangible and measurable progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Are you struggling with negative or difficult emotions? Are you experiencing problems in your relationships? Have the struggles of your childhood or a trauma taken on a life of their own? Maybe you are “stuck” and want to be more in control of your life. Allow me to partner with you to teach you useful tools to help process, refocus, redirect, and enhance the quality of your life. Seeking therapy is not always an easy choice. Congratulations on making a choice to improve your life. This is the first and most important step in achieving your goal of becoming a happier, healthier you.

My treatment methods

Trauma-Focused CBT

I've been using Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice for the past 8 years. It's helps many clients challenge recurring thoughts and manage their anxiety and Trauma Recovery. We will use tools to help recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all directly related to one another. We can then use that knowledge to re-establish healthier thinking patterns to help reduce anxiety and trauma triggers.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize CBT treatment and work with what works best for my clients.

EMDR

I work with EMDR treatment for clients struggling with CPTSD, PTSD, and trauma.

This is the first time I have been in therapy where I feel like I am truly heard, and making progress towards my mental health goals. I have had five other therapists in my life, starting around age 10 (I'm 28 now), and Colette Craig's therapy style and personality has been so appreciated.

Colette tells it like it is even when I wasn't ready to hear the truth. Every session, she's reminded me of who I am & my self-worth. It has been nearly a year since God put this woman in my path & I'm so grateful for her wisdom!

This is only my second session with her. I appreciate how she’s direct and she helps me feel empowered, but is also direct with what she feels. I need to reach when it comes to my goals. And the directness helps with understanding how and what I’m feeling, as well as make sense of it all.
