You’re not broken

You’re not doing it wrong

Your body isn’t betraying you…

It’s trying to speak.

Together, let’s learn the language of your body so you can regain self-trust and learn to live life authentically from the inside out.

Hi, I’m Charlotte.

I offer a body-based approach to healing—one that invites you to turn towards yourself with curiosity and compassion in order to connect with and understand yourself more, to heal trauma, and to regain the self-trust needed to live an authentic and meaningful life.

I feel passionate about supporting people who are not only suffering, but on top of that are shaming themselves or their symptoms. Because traumatic stress and trauma symptoms occur at a foundational nervous system level, all areas of people’s lives can be affected– from emotions, to behaviors, to health, to how you show up in relationships. Because of this, no matter how much therapy, world acheivments or spiritual seeking people do, if this foundational level isn’t addressed, it can start to feel like something is inherently wrong. That sense of shame and turning against oneself can quietly become one of the biggest barriers to healing.

Using Somatic Experiencing and somatic parts work (S/Inner Relationship Focusing), I support people living with trauma and chronic stress to create space to listen. Together, we’ll explore what your body is trying to tell you—so you can reclaim your inner sense of safety and get back in the driver’s seat. Unlike traditional talk therapy, this work helps you understand the language of your nervous system, resulting in healing and a restoration of inner vitality and the innate self-trust needed to live authentically from the inside out.

I work both online and in person in the Hudson Valley, NY and would love to connect with you!

What people are saying

  • “Charlotte is truly a gifted healer. Her authentic presence, warm accompaniment, and patience is indeed the only thing that has allowed me to choose to engage with remnants of decades old shards of trauma. The wisdom derived from a combination of her SE and yogic trainings integrated with her own healing journey creates real hope and possibilities for my own healing and re-embodiment. I’m grateful for her walking with me in my path to retake ownership of my own body and the wonder of being in this world fully present and integrated.” – C.L.

    Laurie Payton

  • “Charlotte came into my life and made some major positive changes that I had been struggling to make for years. I had been on antidepressants for years, and my condition was quite bad. I had tried the best available medical help and psychotherapists around me over the years. I was very hopeless and just flailing in the dark for help. Then, by destiny or coincidence, I met Charlotte, and now every time I see her, I thank life. Just seeing her and hearing her voice makes me feel calm and peaceful. She is not just a great practitioner but also a very compassionate human being. What she has done for me is unbelievable. We live on opposite sides of the globe, but she has still been able to give me the kind of comfort and support that I have never felt before in any of my psychotherapy sessions or anywhere else. She is an amazing person and a very smart and intelligent SE therapist. Highly recommend.”

  • I have had the pleasure of working with Charlotte for the past 6 months and I highly recommend her as a somatic practitioner! She has a gift for creating a nurturing space where I feel safe, heard, and supported. Her compassionate and non-judgmental presence helps me feel more at ease exploring whatever emerges every session. I feel validated in my experience and feel guided to build a stronger connection with my body. What I appreciate the most about Charlotte's approach is that she offers choice and honors the pace at which I feel comfortable going. I never feel pressured to explore or share more than I'm ready to, and I appreciate that she provides options to help me feel in control of my own healing journey, which I feel is so important. The sessions with Charlotte feel gentle and well-paced, never overwhelming. I am deeply appreciative of how she understands my unique needs and ensures that the sessions are tailor-made to what works best for me. It's reassuring to see that a practitioner cares for my overall well-being. I am grateful for the work that Charlotte and I have done together. I cannot recommend her enough as a practitioner!

  • Charlotte continues to hold space for me so beautifully where I'm able to tune in and express (and eventually release) physical AND emotional pieces that cause me discomfort and overwhelm. In our sessions without fail I am blown open (in the best way possible) and blown away by all that I discover that my precious body has been holding. Charlotte calmly guides me and lets me take my time while processing. I get to a place of clarity and lightness that I am so so grateful to her for. She is both calm and incredibly encouraging, what a gift! With complete honesty I can say that our sessions together are truly incredible. I recommend working with Charlotte to anyone that’s ready to explore themselves in a safe, supportive environment!
