Hi, I’m Charmai, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and breathwork facilitator. I offer a warm, grounded space where we can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the patterns that bring you to therapy. My work integrates attachment, Emotionally Focused Therapy, somatic therapy, and breathwork. I believe meaningful change can happen not only through understanding, but through experiencing something different in the moment.
My approach is experiential rather than traditional talk therapy. I’m continually tracking what’s happening in your system—your emotions, body, impulses, and the different parts of you—and inviting you to engage with what you notice rather than simply talk about it. We don’t have to rehash everything that has happened; sometimes a felt sense in the present tells us enough to begin. I trust your system to guide the work, and we follow what emerges together.
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and understand what brings you to therapy. You’ll have space to share what feels important without needing to tell your whole story or explain everything. I’ll offer structure and guidance while also paying attention to what is happening for you in the moment—through conversation, emotion, body, or breath. You don’t need to know how to listen to your system yet; we can learn that together.
