She also uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to create a calm, steady space for reflection and decision making. Sessions focus on small, doable steps rather than abstract theory. Char’s personal and professional background informs her work.

She completed her degree while working full time and raising a family, retired from a city position, supported end-of-life care for a colleague, and is a two-time cancer survivor. Those experiences shape how she talks about resilience, loss, and health-related life changes. In the room she aims to be straightforward and compassionate.

She helps people sort priorities, manage impulsivity or addictive urges, and navigate relationship and parenting stress. Therapy often includes setting short-term goals and practicing new habits between sessions. People who reach out can expect clear language, practical exercises, and a focus on what to try next.

Char supports work on career direction, anger and impulse concerns, grief and end-of-life issues, and the everyday effects of ADHD and mood struggles. She encourages questions and shared decision making about goals and techniques.
