Creating brave space for connection and healing

A Safe Space for Grieving & Growing
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and it’s one I’m here to support you through. I believe that healing begins when we feel truly seen and heard. At Brave Space Psychotherapy, I offer a therapeutic environment that honors your story, meets you with understanding, and empowers you to process and navigate the challenges of grief, loss, and trauma.
Hello there
I believe that we can all do hard things—and it is best when we do hard things together. My journey as a therapist is deeply connected to my own life experiences. My husband and I are the parents of five living children and a son, Finn, who was stillborn in 2010. I am an advocate and caregiver for family members who endure life-altering diagnoses and the inevitable medical and emotional complexities they present. This lived experience has taught me profound lessons about grief, resilience, and the power of connection.
As a therapist, I am passionate about supporting individuals who are navigating life’s toughest challenges. Whether you’re facing grief, trauma, or a life-changing diagnosis, I offer a compassionate space where all parts of your story are welcome. Together, we’ll explore your experiences at your own pace, honoring your values and strengths as we work toward resilience and renewal.
I am Colleen (she/her).
My areas of expertise
Traumatic Grief
Losing a loved one in a sudden, unexpected, or traumatic way can shatter your sense of safety and connection. I provide a trauma-informed approach to help you process your grief and rebuild your life.
Perinatal/Child Loss
Whether it’s miscarriage, stillbirth, or the loss of a child, perinatal grief is deeply personal and unique. I offer a space to honor your loss, navigate your grief, and rediscover hope.
Life-Altering Diagnoses
A serious medical diagnosis—yours or a family member’s—can feel overwhelming. I help individuals process the shock and uncertainty that accompany these experiences and find ways to move forward with clarity and courage.
Why Brave Space Psychotherapy?
Healing from grief and trauma isn’t about “fixing” what’s broken—it’s about creating a space where all parts of your experience are held with care. Brave Space is a place where:
You can explore your pain without judgment.
Your story is honored with compassion and respect.
We focus on the power of connection to find healing and meaning.
“There is no heart more whole than a broken one.”
