Charlotte is passionate about working with individuals and partners ages 16+ who are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, communication challenges, relationship conflict, and life transitions of all kinds. She is affirming of all genders, sexualities, and relationship structures, and creates a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their strengths and values.
Charlotte believes that clients are the experts of their own lives and is committed to collaborating with them to achieve their personal goals. Her therapeutic approach is eclectic and rooted in evidence-based practices, drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT).
