I'm Charlie, and I built this practice around one focus: adults who carried too much, too young, and are ready to set it down. Because this is all I do, you will not have to explain what childhood neglect does to a person. I already know, and we can start from there.
My approach is warm and direct. I will not pathologize you, and I will not pretend healing is tidy. What I offer is steadiness, more than a decade of trauma work, and a relationship you can lean on while you do some of the bravest work of your life.
Why Catalpa
The catalpa is a tough tree with big, heart-shaped leaves. It takes root in hard ground and still grows wide enough to give real shade. That felt like the right picture for this work: growth that does not depend on easy beginnings.
Affirming, from the inside
I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself. Whoever you are and whoever you love, you will not have to educate me or edit yourself here.
