"The heart is quiet...intuitive...it knows no fear"

(CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS) Hello, I'm Charlene. I am a therapist with a lifelong interest in learning about how the mind and brain work, and more importantly, how to use that information to improve our relationships with ourselves and others to live a more harmonious and peaceful life. As a therapist, I can help you transform the emotional barriers and fears that keep you disconnected from your innate qualities of calm, confidence, and clarity so you feel empowered in facing life's challenges and can live more freely always knowing how to return to your inner calm. When working with me you will be guided to: *Learn how to be more aware and in tune with your emotions including the ones that feel out of control or overwhelming. *Understand and rewire the memories of negative emotional experiences and beliefs that you may have felt stuck with. *Change how you see and relate with your mental health symptoms and inner struggle. *Learn how to use the struggles and suffering in your life as a useful tool for your own personal growth. *Identify and release the emotional burdens that lie at the core of your symptoms. *Welcome and have courageous compassion for all parts of you.
