I am a licensed neuropsychologist who holds the perspective that everyone has a vibration that needs to be heard and understood. With that as a central principle, I invite you to explore your right to be well through the process of being heard. While various forms of psychological assessment have been a large part of my practice for more than 20 years, I have found that my experience in this area has been useful in helping provide practical solutions to problems as well as insights. In this way, I make use of various treatment approaches to foster a sense of acceptance, validation, and clarity.
Charmaine is a christian woman that is warm and challenging. Charmaine enjoys getting to know the strength and character of her clients. She is strong yet compassionate and nonjudgmental.
I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.
