Practice Philosophy

Hi, I’m Colleen.

Choosing Yourself Counseling was born out of a theme I saw again and again in my work with clients: so many people know what they need, want, or value, but feel stuck putting themselves last. They find themselves pulled in different directions by self-doubt, perfectionism, fear of disappointing others, overwhelming responsibilities, or the expectations placed on them by family, work, and society.

My passion is helping clients understand what is keeping them stuck and supporting them as they build the confidence to make choices that align with who they are and the life they want to create. Together, we work to challenge old patterns, develop new skills, and move toward what matters most.

One of the most meaningful parts of my work is watching clients discover that the things they long for—greater peace, stronger relationships, more confidence, freedom from anxiety, or a more fulfilling life—may be more attainable than they ever imagined. Therapy can help you reconnect with your strengths, trust yourself more fully, and begin choosing yourself in ways that feel authentic, intentional, and aligned with your values.
