I’m Colleen, and I’m a therapist/director of development by day and a contemporary romance author by night. I’ve been a writer for as long as I can remember (including writing picture books in my kindergarten class), but it wasn’t until 2024 that I re-embraced writing fiction. My own mental health struggles are what drew me to becoming a therapist, and those experiences inform my writing as well.

I was born and raised on Long Island, NY, but I’m currently based in Nashville with my wonderful husband Sean (a touring audio engineer) and our sweet almost 16-year-old yorkie Zen.
