Hello, I’m Charles, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping adults build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience helping children, families and adults navigate life's challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused, and I tailor therapy to each client's unique strengths and goals. I also have experience supporting individuals coping with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns and complex medical challenges, helping them build practical skills and create meaningful, lasting change. I especially enjoy working with adults, including women who are pregnant, postpartum or adjusting to motherhood.

I work with individual adults and certain families who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, sad, lonely, sensitive, anxious, or defeated. If you're feeling heavy by everything going on, or feeling frantic, or having conflict in your relationships or are just feeling lost in any way, I would love to see if I can help! I also work with family units going through transition or strain, such as conflict between a parent and their adult child, or supporting parents who are experiencing difficult things with their child or teen.

I have a lot of experience helping people through loss, whether it's a breakup, losing a job, or a loved one - including loss of a pet, which is a specialty of mine.

Many of my clients are trans or NB, and others are gay, lesbian, or queer. Poly and kink affirming.

I offer telehealth services to clients in California, Idaho, Washington, or Virginia.
