Hi, I’m Charli. I’m currently finishing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Clinical Intern here at Sandy Shores Counseling. I’m passionate about helping people work through a wide range of challenges, including addictions (substance, pornography, sexual), supporting teens through the ups and downs of adolescence, addressing personality disorders, healing from infidelity, and managing life transitions. I’m committed to providing culturally sensitive, affirming care to EVERY client because I believe therapy should honor your unique identity and experiences. It is important to trust your therapist and the space that you are in so that real healing can begin!

My approach is flexible and individually tailored, drawing from evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients build new skills, find clarity, and make meaningful change. I also incorporate art-based therapy, which allows clients to tap into creativity when words alone aren’t enough.

Outside of work, I’m a proud dog mom to Zamp, and I love watching any reality TV show with my husband. If you’re ready to face life’s challenges head-on, get into the real and messy, and grow into the best version of yourself, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
