“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
— Maya Angelou

I’m Charlotte (she/her). 


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Portland, Oregon. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and am happy to be back after 14 years away!  

I provide virtual and in-person evidence-based trauma therapy for tweens (12+), teens and adults. I am passionate about this work and have felt so lucky to have worked with people of all different backgrounds, interests and life stories since 2019. 

I know that for trauma survivors, trusting a stranger can feel overwhelming and scary. And then, trusting a stranger with the most personal and distressing parts of your life is a million times scarier. I strive to create a nurturing, normalizing, non-judgmental and grounding space where clients can feel comfortable exploring their internal experiences and gaining clarity into how past events have shaped them.
