Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California, Texas, and Florida. I graduated from University of Southern California and have been working in mental health for the past 10 years. I enjoy working with people in all phases of their lives to maximize their well-being and potential in their personal and professional lives. I have specialized training in military culture and concerns and am well-versed in the systems, challenges, and rewards experienced by our active-duty service members, veterans, and their families.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll spend some time on brief housekeeping items and expectations. After that, I will work to get to know you and your goals so we can develop a plan together that helps you on the path to achieving your goals and ultimate wellness.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked with a variety of people from different cultural backgrounds and experiences has made me especially attuned to finding out what influences my clients' lives and how they can best achieve their goals in a way that honors who they are and where they come from.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with people who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives! I am here to walk with you through every step of the process as a partner in the realization of your best self.
Eclectic
I take a personalized approach to each client. Once I get to know you and your unique situation and needs, I work with you to create an approach that best suits you. This approach can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, or any approach that best serves you and your goals.

I highly recommend Chari as she’s warm, thoughtful, & genuinely caring. From my very first interaction with her, I felt an immediate sense of safety & comfort. Her presence is calming & compassionate, creating an environment where being vulnerable doesn’t feel scary. She listens with intention, responds with empathy & meets you exactly where you are. In that first session, I found myself opening up in ways I didn’t expect, because she made it feel okay to do so. Charli is someone you can trust.

I'm only on my second session with Chari and she already feels like a great fit for me. I have ADHD and can be very tangental in my conversations and she is right there with me. She is really smart and very pragmatic in her approach, but is able to gently hold space for my emotions as they come up. I find her to be very balanced in her style, which suits me well as an intellectual and highly emotional person with ADHD. :,)
