Great to meet you!

I would describe my approach to therapy to be collaborative, authentic, and I aim to instill hope for a more positive future for my clients in a safe and non-judgmental space. I not only take time to understand why you are deciding to begin therapy, but I make an effort to understand your strengths that we can utilize during our work together to help us reach your goals.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I approach my work with clients in a holistic way, paying attention to the mind, body, and soul. I believe these elements are integrated and transactional, so I take the time to teach relevant skills and explore how we can enhance your life by addressing these different areas and bringing balance in thoughts, behavior, and how you handle emotions.

What you can expect from our first session

Therapy is a place to grow, learn, and to feel confidentially supported through life's challenges.

Charmaine's style is

Open-minded
Solution-oriented
Humorous
