LCSW, 10 years of experience
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, 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.
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.
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.

Chari is simply incredible! She listens to my problems and issues and helps to resolve them with solutions that are best for my mental health and well being, while also keeping my relationships intact with dysfunctional family members. I am incredibly grateful for her and feel so lucky that I found a therapist this well rounded, level headed, kind, patient, intelligent, and most of all, so fun to talk to about anything and everything!

The work I've been doing with Chari has been extremely productive and valuable. When we first started meeting I let her know that I wanted to challenge myself to confront issues and concerns directly and firmly. She has been a tremendous partner and asset in that process, and has been exceptional at getting me to push myself to be the best version of myself. Our sessions are productive and I find that she is always prepared and present to make the most of each conversation.

Chari was very locked in and inviting. She did a great job of balancing between giving me the floor to share and connecting with her perspective and suggestions. I felt very heard and cared for in our session.
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.
