My Approach to Therapy

Hi, I'm Charlotte, and I'm so glad you're here. My journey to becoming a licensed professional counselor is not what you would expect, but it's precisely what makes my approach so unique. Before dedicating my life to helping others find peace and purpose, I spent years as a chemical engineer. That might sound like two different worlds, but in truth, it's not. In fact, it gave me a powerful foundation for understanding complex systems and situations—including the ruts, roadblocks, and challenges in our lives that hold us back. Why counseling? I have always had a profound sense of purpose and a calling to serve others. Even as an engineer, I volunteered to mentor, train, and develop others. Now, in a different environment, I bring a blend of analytical insight (the engineer in me!) and heart-based intuition (my deeply cultivated empathy and faith) to every session. This unique combination allows me to see your challenges from a fresh perspective, while connecting with you on a genuine and human level. Having transitioned careers later in life, I’ve learned a lot about navigating life's twists and turns. This real-world experience, combined with my professional expertise and Christian values, allows me to be a truly dedicated partner in your healing journey. I’m here to offer you respect, support, and practical strategies in a way that feels authentic and impactful. If you're looking for a counselor who offers a fresh perspective, genuine understanding, and a pathway to lasting change, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to help you thrive.

Groups I Work With

My ideal client is ready to get unstuck. This individual is actively seeking to improve their life and is willing to engage in talk therapy to do so. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief, but their core motivation is to move past what’s holding them back and create a more fulfilling path forward. Clients are typically students or professionals, ranging from their twenties to their sixties, who value a direct, collaborative approach to counseling.
