Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Claudia! I am a compassionate mental health therapist dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood and empowered. With a deep belief in the resiliency of the human spirit, I work collaboratively with individuals to help them navigate life's challenges, built emotional insight and foster meaningful change. I am easily relatable and eager to help you delve into meaningful change.

Let's do this!

My approach to therapy

I have worked in trauma informed care and within Interdisciplinary Teams, acute psychiatric facilities, and performed psychiatric holds. Initiated volunteer hospitalizations for those seeking intensive and immediate acute care. As a U. S. Marine Corps Veteran, I have worked and with both military and Veterans within both medical and mental healthcare. Well skilled in areas of depression, anxiety, grief and bariatric issues. Skilled in therapy regarding older populations and with caregiver challenges. As a proud HBCU graduate, I consider myself relatable and culturally competent when seeing diverse populations of clients of all ages.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will focus on getting to know you and what brings you to therapy at this moment in time.
