Hi there, I'm Charlotte!

One of my favorite quotes from Brene Brown is: "owning our story, and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do." Learning to be brave and loving ourselves on the journey we are on brings freedom from the multitude of areas. I want to support you through this process.

My focus

I work to provide clients with small takeaways from each session. These takeaways are something that can be practiced or considered in between sessions that serve as a way to make lasting change, motivation, and hope.

My approach

My counseling approach utilizes ACT, Solution-Focused, and CBT. I want to support you in exploring your values and strengths and set goals that will aid you in living a life in pursuit of those values. I also like to use CBT to challenge the negative stories people tend to tell themselves.

My communication style

I focus on giving clients space to share and be heard. I also tend to communicate in a direct manner and explain concepts in analogies or stories to aid in the learning process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was always a quieter and reserved person who enjoyed one-on-one time with people and listening to their stories. I find that I am skilled at listening and offering compassion and empathy.

My goals for you

We will work as a team to establish goals and keep fine-tuning them through the counseling process. I like to establish a combination of large and small goals so that there is progress and successes throughout the process.

Our first session

The first session is a time to ask questions if you have any for me. It will also be a time when I will ask questions about your background so that I have an overview of what you are seeking support for, as well as some reference points related to key areas in life. This will also be a time that we develop the large goal for counseling.
