Working with Individuals
Do you find yourself with new challenges or changes in life that you don’t feel prepared to handle? Maybe these were things you always wanted like career growth, promotion, greater financial success and new relationships. Or perhaps you never saw them coming like starting your own company, beginning a new career path or finding yourself single again and wondering where to go from here? Whether expected or unexpected, these new experiences may be leaving you over-stressed, anxious, confused and simply overwhelmed. Colleen’s goal is to help you discover personal insights and provide you the tools to move beyond the past & self-limiting beliefs towards personal growth and the vast potentials your future holds.

Relationships are not easy. It takes consistent work and effort to maintain a solid foundation anchored in trust. Using a blend of Family Systems and Emotionally Focused techniques, we work together to identify the pattern(s) in your relationship that are causing miscommunication and conflict. Colleen will help you identify concrete tools and strategies to feel more connected to your partner and repair the resentments in your relationship.
