Great to meet you!

I'm Claudia, and am happy to help explore what is holding you back from a satisfying life, with understanding, thoughtfulness, a clinical background, and compassion.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Anxiety, depression, dissatisfactory connections, life transitions are specialties of mine. My mission is to provide you with a respectful, safe, and judgement free atmosphere, coupled with proven modalities, so understanding and growth can occur.

What you can expect from our first session

Therapy is a collaborative experience. Once a trusting rapport is established, we follow the pace, timeline, and goals you have determined to be comfortable. Experiencing healthier reactions to a previously triggering event is a liberating life event. As goals are accomplished, clients feel more competent and courageous to expand their comfort zone. Relief and hope replace the angst, most clients struggle with.

Claudia's style is

Empowering
Warm
Open-minded
