INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Empowering You to Heal and Thrive.
CHARLOTTE COUNSELING FOR INDIVIDUALS
Welcome to Charlotte Therapeutic Counseling, a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move beyond survival mode. I offer individualized, trauma-informed therapy for neurodivergent women and mothers navigating overwhelm, life transitions, and emotional challenges. Integrating evidence-based practices, somatic approaches, and mindfulness, our work honors the connection between mind and body while nurturing self-awareness, resilience, and inner wisdom. Together, we’ll focus on your unique strengths and support a more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling life.

Woman and Neurodivergence
Neurodivergence is a natural and valid part of human diversity. Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, and OCD-neurotype women often move through a world not designed for their needs—and that alone can create stress, overwhelm, and misunderstanding. In my practice, your differences are never viewed as deficits. Instead, we honor the ways your mind and body uniquely work, including your sensitivities, creativity, deep-thinking, intuition, and capacity for focus.
Many neurodivergent women reach adulthood carrying experiences of masking, burnout, emotional exhaustion, and the impact of being misunderstood. You deserve care that meets you exactly as you are, without pressure to "fit in" or change who you are at your core.
I offer neuroaffirming support for:
-
Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD
-
OCD as a neurotype (supporting both lived experience and the complexities of intrusive thoughts with compassion)
-
Late-identified or self-identified neurodivergence
-
Sensory and emotional regulation challenges
-
Masking fatigue, burnout, and unmasking support
-
Executive functioning and rhythm-of-life support without shame
-
Identity exploration and self-trust rebuilding
-
The intersection of neurodivergence and trauma
Trauma-Informed Individual Therapy
Trauma can shape how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Whether rooted in childhood experiences, difficult relationships, or overwhelming life events, trauma can impact your sense of safety, emotional well-being, and connection to yourself. These responses are not signs of weakness—they may be ways you learned to navigate experiences that felt overwhelming or unsafe.
Many individuals carry the effects of trauma into adulthood, experiencing anxiety, emotional exhaustion, disconnection, people-pleasing, or patterns of survival that no longer feel supportive. You deserve care that honors your experiences without judgment, recognizes your inherent strengths, and meets you where you are in your healing journey.
I offer trauma-informed individual therapy that supports healing at your own pace, helping you build self-awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, and reconnect with your mind and body. Through a compassionate, client-centered approach, I draw from Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work to support nervous system awareness, explore protective patterns, and cultivate greater self-trust and resilience.
I offer support for:
-
Processing past and present traumatic experiences
-
Childhood trauma and relational wounds
-
Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and stress responses
-
People-pleasing, boundaries, and patterns of self-abandonment
-
Disconnection from your body, emotions, or sense of self
-
Nervous system awareness and emotional regulation
-
Rebuilding self-trust, self-compassion, and a sense of safety
-
The intersection of trauma, identity, and neurodivergence
Healing is not about erasing your past or becoming someone you're not. It's about creating space to understand your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and the world around you.
You don't have to navigate this alone. Together, we can move toward healing, connection, and a life that feels more like your own.
Postpartum & Women's Mental Health
The journey into motherhood and the many seasons of womanhood can bring profound changes to your body, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Alongside moments of connection and joy, you may experience anxiety, overwhelm, grief, identity shifts, or a sense of disconnection from the person you once knew yourself to be. Whatever your experience looks like, your feelings deserve space, compassion, and understanding.
I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for women navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and other life stages. Together, we can explore the changes you're experiencing, reconnect with your needs, and develop tools to support emotional well-being, self-trust, and resilience. My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and holistic, integrating mindfulness and mind-body awareness to honor your unique experiences and pace.
I offer support for:
-
Pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and the transition into motherhood
-
Postpartum anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and stress
-
Birth experiences and processing difficult or traumatic births
-
Matrescence, identity shifts, and redefining yourself in motherhood
-
Infertility, pregnancy loss, and grief
-
Parenting stress, boundaries, and balancing competing needs
-
Women's life transitions, self-worth, and emotional well-being
-
Reconnecting with your body, needs, and sense of self
You can love your family and still struggle. You can feel grateful and overwhelmed at the same time. You can be deeply devoted to others and still need space to care for yourself. There is no single right way to experience motherhood or womanhood.
You deserve support, too. Together, we can create space for your healing, honor the woman you are becoming, and help you feel more grounded, connected, and supported through every season of life.
Heal. Live. Love. You matter, too.
