Charlanne is a licensed counselor, who is also certified as a board approved supervisor for training therapists. She received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in counseling from Grace College and has been practicing since 2004. She enjoys working with adults of all ages. She seeks redemptive potential in all clinical interactions and works to provide restorative relational interaction with everyone she encounters in therapy, while acknowledging that everyone has their own unique life experience. Her work involves addressing people as a whole, collaborating toward desired outcomes through an individually tailored process, increasing client self-awareness, encouraging new ways of processing, and providing helpful education. Charlanne recognizes that her theological framework drives her to treat all individuals with respect, kindness, and dignity and loves to include spiritual components as desired by clients. Specialty areas include anxiety, young adults, life transitions, identity formation, spiritual questions, any area of sexual brokenness, self-harm, trauma, eating disorders and groups. She enjoys speaking and training with churches and community groups, and loves supervising counselors-in-training.

Charlanne values restoration, encouragement, simplicity, and introspection. Besides quality time with her husband and friends, music is the language of her soul. Rest is often found sitting at the piano, singing or listening to music. As a lover of reading, she recommends Madeleine L’Engle, John & Stasi Eldredge, and Brene Brown. She loves taking road trips with her husband, with whom she engages with others in mentoring. A Frederick native, she has worked in church, college, and community settings, both professionally and as a lay volunteer where she has led musical worship in church settings, counseled professionally and informally, and consulted with various churches on mental health issues.
