Hi, I’m Chardé. I’m here to remind you that our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us. There seems to be no one who can see it, but you’re just about ready to tap out. Your plans have been laid, and you’re ambitious and determined, but inside your motivation fades and your fears are growing. You’ve spent the last few years running the race, jumping through the hoops you thought would keep things together, yet it doesn’t seem like there is an end. You’ve given everything to others and now you are the one who feels left behind like no one understands. No more. It’s time you make a change.

I am a trauma focused provider, which means that I am keenly aware of how our past can be triggering in relationships and create deep wounds that still hurt even around the people we love and trust.
Accepting Clients ; Email is preferred for inquires : I believe therapy is a space for you to be heard, because everyone is someone with a unique past and perspective. I am excited to work with you and learn your stories while we go through the healing journey together. I am equipped and passionate about helping you move through the darker parts of your life, past or present. All of us do our best in any circumstance yet sometimes the tools that helped us through the darker times are the same things holding us back now. You can overcome anything, and I would love to help re-equip you with the tools you need to move forward.

My approach to therapy lies largely within the framework of Coherence Therapy - a newer approach to treatment that is different from many others. Instead of viewing something as "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change it, the focus is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms on a deep emotional level. Sometimes the symptoms we experience lead to us feeling "stuck." A deep understanding of why someone feels stuck entails addressing the cause of a problem to eliminate it at its roots rather than simply maintaining management of the symptom. I strongly believe that this approach leads to genuinely meaningful and lasting change.

You're not a cookie, and I am not a cookie-cutter therapist. Every person is unique, and my counseling approach is very much tailored to your specific needs. For most people, counseling may be a last resort, one final effort after they’ve tried everything else. Some worry that seeking therapy means they’ve failed; and for others, the idea of therapy is just plain scary or not the way they were “taught to deal with things”. Even so, the fact that you’re reading this means you want to take back control and begin creating the life you really want. Well, you’ve come to the right place!

I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and unhealthy relational patterns, helping them to identify and change the obstacles and patterns that are getting in their way. Clients often come in feeling like life is overwhelming and they are not managing work, school, friendships and relationships well, despite their best intentions and efforts. Often these patterns are so ingrained that we are not aware of another way of interacting or seeing our core beliefs. Therapy can increase insight and help to resolve and heal the underlying issues, creating the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
