Charlotte provides LGBTQIA+ mental health therapy, gender-affirming mental health therapy, and works with individuals who no longer live with their family of origin. She's a student of trauma-informed therapies as well as interpersonal neurobiology (the intersection of relationships, mind, brain, and body). Charlotte specializes in working with trans people who recently came out and who are navigating major life shifts as a result. She's currently developing a training to help cisgender clinicians work more effectively with trans people.

In her spare time, Charlotte studies literature, philosophy, and astrology; cooks; travels; watches depressing foreign films; walks around Capitol Hill; plays bass in a local punk band. She's an inveterate coffee snob. She's more or less the stereotype of a Sagittarius.

She is polyam, kink, and queer-affirming as well sex and body positive.

Charlotte received her BA in English Education from a school in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania and went on to complete her Master's in Counseling Psychology from Seattle University. She is currently preparing for a doctorate to help train the next generation of therapists.

Charlotte has studied with Dr. Janina Fisher and Dr. Gabor Mate. She's trained in Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), Compassionate Inquiry (CI), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Charlotte is influenced by the work of Susan McConnell (the pioneer of Somatic IFS); Martha Sweezy; Alice Miller; Sue Johnson; Judy Herman and other feminist pioneers of psychotherapy. Charlotte is also heavily influenced by the philosophy of bodyworker Jill Ableson (who developed a novel model of somatic psychotherapy called SPRE that derives influences from Pat Ogden's work and research as well as Hakomi).
