Hi! I'm Dr. Charla and I am a licensed therapist (est. 2014) specializing in identity and authentic self-expression. Holding a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology, I integrate clinical expertise with holistic certifications in EMDR and Hypnotherapy. My eclectic approach meets clients at the intersection of traditional psychology and alternative healing.
I’m a therapist who understands how difficult it can be to open up—and how meaningful the right support can be. I care deeply about creating a space grounded in honesty, trust, and genuine connection. My approach is warm, compassionate, and straightforward, and I shape each session around your unique needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Above all, I see therapy as a collaborative process, and I’m here to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you grow.
I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families to navigate the challenges related to anxiety, depression, communication, and relationship dynamics. Mental health influences every part of our lives—how we think, feel, and connect with others. When something feels off, it can ripple through our well-being and relationships. Therapy offers the space to identify what’s not working and develop tools for balance, clarity, and lasting change through an engaging and supportive process.
