Hi, my name is Colette and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I recognize that for some, researching a counselor and entering therapy can feel like a big step and I look forward to connecting.
Grief work is my passion and the heart of my practice. I specialize in complex grief, supporting clients through profound and often traumatic losses, with a particular focus on pregnancy loss. I also work with clients experiencing grief related to divorce, job loss, pet loss, and other significant life changes.
My goal is to meet you with care, compassion, and support, and to create a place to process and honor your experiences. I believe that it is possible to hold both pain and joy.
I invite you to take a deep breath and if it feels right, schedule an appointment with me.

My Approach
We can process the past to see where patterns emerged from, examine thoughts, beliefs, and actions to manage stress in the present and use mindfulness and CBT tools if desired. Grief work can include support for trauma, and the opportunity to develop practices and rituals to honor our loved ones and remember to take care of ourselves amid great despair.
Specialized grief counseling for adults navigating loss in all its forms — including bereavement, anticipatory grief, and the grief that can be hard for others to see or understand.
Compassionate support for pregnancy complications, miscarriage, HELLP syndrome, and perinatal loss.
Support for grief related to divorce, job loss, pet loss, and other significant life changes.
Group experiences can be profoundly meaningful. Details on upcoming groups will be shared here as they become available.
