Hello, I'm Colette,

I support clients with understanding relationship patterns,

 emotional intimacy, and sexual wellbeing (psychosexual-informed)

I’m an integrative therapist supporting individuals and couples who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, emotional disconnection, or difficulties with intimacy.  Together, we gently explore what sits beneath these patterns — helping you make sense of your emotional world, understand your relationships more deeply, and build greater safety and connection with yourself and others.

You may be feeling…

• Stuck in the same relationship patterns, even when you try to change them
• Anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself in relationships
• Emotionally distant or shut down when things feel intense
• Disconnected from your partner, or unsure how to reconnect
• Confused about your needs in intimacy or relationships
• Caught between wanting closeness and needing space
• Frustrated that relationships don’t feel as safe or secure as you want them to

These experiences are more common than you might think. Often, they are shaped by earlier emotional and relational experiences that continue to influence how we connect today.

How can I help...

In our work together, we slow things down and begin to understand what is happening beneath the surface of your relationships.

We explore:

• The patterns you keep finding yourself in
• How your emotions show up in relationships
• What happens when you feel triggered, overwhelmed, or disconnected
• The deeper attachment experiences that may be shaping your current relationships
• How intimacy — emotional and physical — feels for you

Over time, this helps you begin to relate to yourself and others in a calmer, more secure, and more connected way.

My approach

My approach is gentle, relational, and grounded in attachment theory, which focuses on how early relationships shape our adult connections.

I work integratively, drawing from different therapeutic approaches to support emotional understanding, regulation, and change at a pace that feels safe.

I am also psychosexually informed, which means I can support conversations around intimacy, sexual wellbeing, and emotional closeness in a respectful and supportive way.

Individuals and couples

I work with both individuals and couples.

Individuals
For those experiencing relationship anxiety, repeated patterns in relationships, emotional overwhelm or shutdown, or difficulties with intimacy and trust.

Couples

What therapy with me feels like

Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out.

We take things at your pace and focus on gently understanding what is happening for you emotionally and relationally.

Over time, clients often notice:A

• greater awareness of their patterns
• more emotional clarity and stability
• improved communication in relationships
• a deeper sense of emotional safety and connection
• a better understanding of themselves and their needs
