I am focused on the therapeutic alliance. I was undecided in college; I had no idea what I wanted to do. I took a lower-division psychology course. I was very interested in the power of the human brain. I am driven by my obstacles in life and the power of overcoming. I believe we all have this power; I just want to help my clients tap into it.

“Charlotte is such a wealth of information and knowledge. She has helped me start to navigate parenting a challenging teen. She's a great listener and has helped me figure out what I was doing and come up with ways to help me better communicate with my child." "I highly recommend Charlotte for marriage counseling or therapy of any kind. My wife and I have been seeing her for some time now, and she has truly made a positive impact on our relationship. From the very beginning, she created a safe and open space for both of us to express our feelings, which helped foster better communication between us. She listens deeply, offers valuable insights, and provides practical tools that we can use in our daily lives. Her non-judgmental and empathetic approach has helped us navigate some challenging issues, and we both feel more connected and understood than ever before. We're grateful for her guidance and support, and we look forward to continuing our work together.”
