(she/her)
Hello, I’m Charleen. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and taking that first step into therapy isn’t always easy. With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. If you’re at a point where you know something needs to shift — and you’re ready to actively work toward that change — therapy can provide the structure and support to help you move forward.
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to have questions or mixed emotions about starting. Together, we’ll explore what’s bringing you in and identify meaningful, healthy changes that align with your values and goals. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I use integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, and strengths-based work to help you identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with healthier, more effective ways of thinking and responding. Our work will be collaborative, goal-oriented, and practical — focused not only on insight, but on real-life change. If you’re ready to move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered, I’m here to support that process.
Many of the clients I work with reach a point where they’re simply ready for something different. They want to feel better, think more clearly, and function with greater confidence in their relationships, work, and life.
