More about Colleen
- 22 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a bilingual and bicultural licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have over 20 years of experience working in San Francisco’s diverse communities providing treatment to individuals coping with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, communication difficulties, stress, career and work-related issues, self-esteem, life transitions, and acculturation issues.
In serving my clients, I feel we underestimate how culture and our environment have a profound affect on our physical and mental wellbeing. We often neglect this when we navigate our journey towards healthier relationships with others and ourselves. I aim to provide a safe space for my clients as we maximize your strengths to live a healthier tomorrow. I believe in the value of kindness, approaching life with curiosity, and learning to persevere through life’s challenges.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
