She provides services as both an Occupational Therapist and a Clinical Case Manager. Charlotte’s therapeutic approach is strength-based and she believes that participation in self-care, leisure, and productive occupations can be transformative and healing. In her spare time, Charlotte enjoys being in nature, spending time doing yoga, cooking/baking, painting, and reading.
