Introduction

Hello, my name is Chartanz, I go by "Char". I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who believes healing happens in safe, honest relationships. I enjoy working with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected — whether that’s from anxiety, relationship issues, past trauma, or big life changes. I show up with empathy, curiosity, and a steady presence to help you feel supported in the work. How Can I Help You? Therapy with me starts by getting to know your story — your background, the relationships that shaped you, and what you’re hoping to shift or explore. I use a mix of relational and narrative approaches, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. I’m here to help you get clear, feel more grounded, and build a life that actually feels like yours. My Philosophy on Mental Health I believe the stories we carry about ourselves shape how we see the world, our relationships, and what we believe is possible. Sometimes those stories come from pain, survival, or messages we never chose — and therapy is a space to gently question them. Together, we can explore your narrative, uncover what still fits, and begin to rewrite the parts that no longer serve you.
