Anxiety, depression, work stress, stress, grief, shame, relationship, and family of origin challenges can all be overwhelming and dominate everything. Colleen can help you sort out where to start. What are you trying already that is working (and not working)? What new skills will help create change? And how can you put you and your values into the forefront of your life?

Colleen has had a dynamic career in clinical psychology, working in the public health system for decades before opening her own practice. As a result, her approach is both theory-driven and pragmatic. She helps people understand themselves better and move forward with effective skills and a fresh perspective.

In addition to her work with clients with depression, anxiety, high stress, and trauma, Colleen has extensive experience as a health psychologist. Health psychologists work with people struggling to manage acute injuries and chronic conditions. Adjusting to a new diagnosis? Overwhelmed managing a chronic condition? Health psychologists help people with countless medical conditions including diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, cardiac conditions, pain, and disordered eating. Health behaviour change is a cornerstone of her career. Maybe your own health is okay? Colleen frequently works with individual family members of people with health challenges: sometimes watching those we love struggle with their health can be exhausting, stressful, and complicated.

Colleen formerly worked at the Heart Centre at St.Paul’s Hospital, the Cardiac Wellness Institute of Calgary (now called Total Cardiology), and was an Adjunct Professor at the University of Calgary. Colleen is the co-founder of Craving Change Inc.

Colleen is a registered psychologist in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. She loves her job.
