Therapist Overview
Sometimes, deep emotional pain seems inescapable. Wounds seldom heal for those that mourn alone, but rather through genuine connection in the context of relationship. Char believes that the relationship between the therapist and client is the foundation of the therapeutic enterprise, a sacred space where we are allowed to be deeply seen and known. She genuinely values individual differences and approaches each client with warmth, empathy, dignity, and respect. Char strives to foster a safe environment by cultivating a spirit of collaboration in therapeutic relationships. Char’s is open and affirming to the LGBTQ community, drawing from personal strengths, considering individual resilience factors, sociocultural context, and diverse intersecting identities in order to empower and reestablish a sense of wellbeing. Char earned her Master of Arts (M.A.) in 2016 in Counseling from Cornerstone University. She is currently seeking a doctoral degree in counseling psychology from Western Michigan University. She has experience in psychological testing and treating complex trauma. As a licensed professional counselor, Char has training and experience in working with adults.
