Everyone calls me “Charlie.” It is a nickname I have had since high school. I have a Master of Science Degree; I have a Licensed Professional Counselor Certification and am a National Certified Counselor as well. I feel that counseling is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. When you are in a time of crisis, it is difficult to think rationally. A good counselor will help you navigate those choppy waters so that you can go on to live a richer life. I have studied a great deal about trauma. I have been on a Crisis Response team and worked with victims of natural disasters. I believe that I would be a good fit for you if you have issues in any of these areas. I have found that there is one main issue in life, “I’m Not Good Enough.” A wellspring of difficulties can erupt from this one thing. So, allow me to put my education and my life experiences to work for you. I believe that this is my gift. I want to share that with you.
My treatment approach aims to help individuals develop coping skills, provide emotional support, encouragement, and feedback to help individuals address changes, challenges, and issues they are facing. Change and challenges are a part of life; however, sometimes, we need a little help getting through issues we are experiencing. I frequently draw from motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution focused therapy to help clients set goals and overcome their challenges. I use a variety of methods and techniques to provide a personalized approach; using what is most helpful for each individual given the challenges he or she is facing. Through understanding and compassion, I help individuals resolve a wide variety of concerns, crisis, psychological issues, and personal changes. Together, we will work to find techniques and solutions that will be the most beneficial to you.
I conduct 45-minute sessions, beginning on the hour and ending at a quarter till. A "No Show" is considered to be fifteen minutes past the hour. So, the next step is to hop onto my calendar and schedule your first appointment. We'll take it from there. Talk soon!

Charlie is such a direct voice. She knows my history and issues well and uses subtle techniques to help me face up to them and break through. She doesn't use psycho-babble, it's just a conversation between the two of us and she is very attentive to timeliness and frequency so always checking in if I haven't rescheduled. A rock and a rockstar.

Charlie responds so quickly. She would be the one to speak when I couldn't find the words. She helped me build my self-esteem and get better at setting and enforcing boundaries. She helped change my life. If it weren't for her, I would still be stuck in an abusive relationship. What she does is a really big deal. She is changing lives for the better and I am appreciative.

Sharla (Charlie) has changed my life. When I started in therapy 9 months ago I didn’t know who I was, I was heartbroken and completely lost. She listened to my concerns every week without failure and guided me through positive thoughts, affirmations, provided me with the tools to find my self esteem and love myself. I feel so much happier today and hardly recognise the person I was when I first started.
I am so grateful for everything she has done for me and honestly can say she is the best therapist I have ever worked with.

Charlie has a very kind yet professional demeanor. I appreciate the personal messages each and every day I journal. She provides a lot more responsiveness than I would expect form a therapist! It's been nothing but a blessing seeing the messages pop up from her throughout the week. I really feel comfortable unpacking everything I have to say because she keeps the conversation going in a very personal way. I could not recommend her enough!

Working with Charlie has been one of the best investments I have made in myself. She is both sympathetic and direct. I sought her help after a long, difficult chapter in my marriage. Following each session, Charlie provided action items; all of which were helpful and will be put to good use time and time again. It feels so good just to be grateful to be in my wife's presence again. Thank you Charlie.

Charlie has truly changed my life. Before seeing her, I was very hard on myself and not in a good place in life. After each session, she gave me the tools to help me heal myself. I felt my concerns were valued and she really empathized with me to help me get a new outlook on the things life has dealt me. Without her help, guidance and expertise I don’t know where I would be today. I am very proud of the progress I have made by seeking therapy with Charlie.
