Hello.
My name is Charles.
I know it takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards sharing your goals with a person you feel trust with. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working as an individual, couple and family therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including trauma or emotional abuse, stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, adolescent issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and other presentations. I also have seen many first responders such as police, fire fighters, EMT, nurses and others who have experienced or was witness to physical trauma or emotional abuses.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating all with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in diagnostic/stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive processing, and motivational counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I look forward to working with you!

Charles listens with an open mind and an open heart. I highly recommended him. He continues to educate during and outside of our sessions.

I love Charles. I was skeptical about online therapy at first and a little guarded. Within a few sessions, Charles was getting me to open up without even realizing it. He has decades of experience in this field and others. He has gone through absolute devastation and heartbreak in his own life so he operates with a compassion and insight that only one who has gone through such hardship can. He urges his patients to focus on the beautiful and good things in life and breathe out the bad.
I have been going to therapy on and off for 15 years and have never been taught any techniques that can help in moments of stress until Charles. He holds me accountable and reminds me to use them. In the few short months I have worked with Charles, he has provided insight that I have never heard and has been a catalyst for my own insights about myself. Thank you Charles, I am very grateful we were matched up.

Charles is the best therapist that I've ever met (ok, he's the first one for me). He taught me how to cope with my anxiety and was patient during our session together. He'll actively listen and help you look at things from a different perspective. I'll be back to book more sessions with him as different events in my life occurs.

Charles was super nice and very easy to talk to! He really helped me get over some harassment issues I had dealt with at work and taught me how to reduce/deal with my anxiety in stressful situations. He really listens to what you have to say and is very respectful. Often went over time to finish the current point or to make sure to finish at a good spot.

Charles’s ability to help me to develop healthy boundaries and be more assertive has been great. He has helped me to talk through any previous traumas that I’ve faced.
Charles has great communication skills, and patience. I was able to trust him from our first session. He is by far the best therapist I’ve spoken to, and I highly recommend!
