About Your Holistic Trauma Therapist in Los Angeles

Hi, I’m Charlotte, a Marriage and Family Therapist devoted to guidingyou through profound inner transformation at the intersection of neuroscience, psyche, and spirit. My work is rooted in the belief that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but remembering and reconnecting with what has always been whole.

My clinical foundation was shaped in residential addiction treatment and acute adolescent behavioral health settings, where I supported individuals, families, and couples navigating trauma, identity fragmentation, and emotional dysregulation. These experiences inform my deep respect for the nervous system and the resilience that emerges when people are truly seen.

Curiosity Over Judgment

My approach is integrative and experiential. I view each person as the author of their own evolving story, and I work collaboratively to help you gently deconstruct limiting narratives and reclaim authorship of your life.

Healing deepens when we have the courage to meet ourselves without performance. Curiosity creates openings where shame once lived. Whether we are navigating the complexities of your past or preparing for expanded states of consciousness, I strive to create a grounded space where your insight becomes felt, embodied, and lived.

Real transformation happens when insight meets experience, when the mind understands and the body finally feels safe enough to release.

"I finally found a space where my nervous system could soften."

I was so burned out I couldn't think straight. Previous therapists just gave me basic coping skills to get through the week, but here I got the help where we looked underneath all my anxiety and perfectionism. The depth approach completely changed how I understand my drive. I actually feel connected to myself again.

CLIENT STORIES
"I carry a lot of complex trauma, and trust does not come easy for me. My therapist created this incredibly grounded space where I didn't feel like I had to perform. She approaches everything with so much curiosity instead of judgment. It’s the first time my body has felt truly safe in a therapy room."

The Cycle Breaker
"Simply the best practice I have ever visited. From the intake interview with Ektha to match me with the perfect therapist, all of the way through therapy itself - everything has been a great experience. My therapist, is empathetic, understanding, validating, curious, thoughtful and supportive. For the first time in my life, I am recognizing results from therapy. Skakti Therapy feels like home."

Frequently Asked Questions

We've answered some common questions to help you feel more confident about taking the first step.

Yes. Having navigated a highly demanding career in the styling and fashion industry before transitioning to psychology, I deeply understand the unique pressures of creative and executive burnout. I help clients reconnect with their authentic drive and pivot their lives with intention.

Absolutely. My background includes studying Spiritual Psychology, Buddhism, and Christianity, and I view the therapeutic process as deeply connected to the spirit. Whether you are exploring your own faith, seeking sound healing, or integrating a spiritual awakening, your beliefs are welcome and honored here.
