About Charmai

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, insightful, and deeply self-aware. They've done therapy, read the books, listened to the podcasts, and understand their patterns intellectually—yet still find themselves reacting in the same ways. They know why they struggle, but their body continues to respond with anxiety, shutdown, people-pleasing, conflict, or disconnection. For many people, growth involves not only understanding their experiences, but also working with the body and nervous system.

As an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, Breathwork Facilitator, and trauma-informed embodied therapist, I help couples and individuals engage with the emotions, protective patterns, and nervous system responses that keep them stuck. Together, we slow down enough to notice what your nervous system has learned, develop the capacity to stay present with difficult emotions, and create new experiences of safety, connection, and authenticity.

With couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners move beyond cycles of conflict and disconnection, fostering greater emotional safety, intimacy, and closeness. With individuals, I integrate somatic therapy, attachment-focused work, mindfulness, breathwork, and experiential approaches to support healing from trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, and life transitions. Together, we'll learn to listen to your body as an important source of information, wisdom, and healing.

Outside of therapy, you'll often find me dancing, enjoying art, reading, or exploring nature—practices that remind me that healing is not about eliminating suffering, but about learning how to be with it while remaining connected to joy, curiosity, and aliveness. My hope is to create a space where you feel deeply seen, understood, and supported—a space where healing and growth can unfold with greater authenticity, resilience, and connection.
