Hi there, I am Charly and I am so glad you are looking for a therapist. Finding the right person to walk alongside you on this journey can be overwhelming and I hope you find the right person. Achieving your goals and giving you voice and choice is important to me and so is celebrating progress and finding joy and laughter along the way. I believe in providing a safe place to process past hurts, current stressors, or major life transitions without bias or judgment.

For the past 25 years I have been committed to assisting individuals, couples, adolescents and athletes through life's difficult situations. I have a strong background in working directly with general psychiatry, so most of my experience is in mood disorders, crisis management, grief therapy and co-occurring disorders such as addiction.

Welcome! I know starting therapy can be scary and often a thing we find ourselves putting off, but I am here to accompany you on your individualized path to healing. I have been practicing therapy for nearly 5 years now, in a variety of backgrounds, with adults, teenagers, and children.

Are you feeling stressed out, zoned out, or off-balance? Do you feel like you're drowning under the weight of responsibilities, while others seem to be thriving? Have you been using social media, toxic relationships, or substances to numb or distract yourself from the discomfort? I'd love to try and help you find your footing and feel more like yourself again. Most of the clients I work with have a lot more in common than they realize. They are struggling...but they believe they SHOULD be able to manage everything! They believe they are somehow flawed or weaker than others. I want you to know it’s okay to be struggling.

“When you can’t look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark.” This quote is what inspires me to work with my clients and listen to their stories. What is your story? Maybe you are a young woman with a history of trauma, or who is seeking what life has in store for you next. Maybe your daughter needs counseling and you’re looking for an empathic therapist to guide her through that process. Or maybe you’re a first responder who needs support from what you’ve experience at home and at work. If any of those sound like you, I’d love to walk alongside you in your journey.

I am passionate about working with clients presenting with eating disorders, and co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other women's issues. In my practice, I use a treatment model that is evidence-based and eclectic, as I believe each client's needs vary. These models include, but are not limited to, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. Beginning the journey to recovery from an eating disorder is difficult and one that requires courage-I strive to create an environment that is built on a foundation of trust for this process.

I began working in the field over 20 years ago, in university counseling centers across the South. Now in private practice, I see adolescents-middle age adults. I strive to join my clients at the point in their process where old patterns are no longer working and collaborate with them to find new ones. I like to set goals together that provide a roadmap for the course of our work, and I challenge my clients to work on things not only in session, but also in their everyday lives. I view therapy as a temporary stop along life’s path; a realignment that sends my clients back out there as healthier and happier versions of themselves.

You may be seeking therapy because you constantly feel overwhelmed and on edge. It’ feels like you’re walking on a tightrope and one false move spells disaster. Or you may be feeling so low it’s as if you’re moving through quicksand, pulling you deeper into despair. These days you spend all your energy trying to avoid further pain instead of living out your true purpose. Anxiety and depression often come as a package deal, especially if you’re a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). If you feel like your life is being ruled by overwhelming emotions, know that it doesn’t always have to feel this way. Peace is possible, and therapy can help.

I help women struggling with people-pleasing tendencies and finding their voice. If you're in a place where a lack of boundaries and sense of self have left you feeling disconnected and overwhelmed, I'd love to help you find a new way forward. Through a calm, steady presence, I provide a space for you to slow down long enough to process and reflect, reconnect with your heart so you can access your emotions and get your needs met, and understand your story so you can better know yourself and show up more authentically with the people you love most.
