About Charla

I am a Master of Social Work practicum student who supports youth and adults Many people come to therapy feeling unsure where to start, or having managed on their own for a long time. I make therapy feel approachable and empowering, creating a safe space where you can explore your experiences and build on your strengths. My Experience I have a special interest in pregnancy and postpartum mental health and cognitive therapy (helping you better understand how you think, feel, and cope during times of stress). I have supported youth and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I bring extensive experience in group therapy with pregnancy and postpartum mental health, grief and loss, family support, cognitive remediation, and metacognitive therapy. I believe in the power of community and connection to reduce isolation, normalize experiences, and strengthen support networks so clients feel less alone in their healing. In my work with the Early Psychosis Intervention team, I conduct cognitive assessments and support individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and psychosis in developing practical strategies to manage cognitive challenges and improve daily functioning. My Approach My approach is individualized and trauma-informed, with a strong focus on client resilience, skill-building, and empowerment. I value the therapeutic relationship and follow the client’s lead, supporting them in reconnecting with their capacity for growth and change, while also ensuring sessions feel relevant and meaningful.I integrate a range of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and grief and loss counselling. I am dedicated to guiding clients through their healing process with greater clarity, confidence, and support—grounded in the belief that “Incredible things can be done in micro moments” (unknown).
