Healing is what Charisa is most passionate about and shares her excitement to be in a workplace that believes in creating a space where survivors are supported in healing at their own pace. Particularly aware of the sensitivity and nature of interpersonal violence, Charisa approaches every situation with utmost empathy and compassion.
