Hi there, I'm Clairessa!

I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can exhale, feel heard, and explore what’s holding you back. Together, we’ll work toward easing symptoms, building practical coping skills, and finding meaningful solutions so you can feel more confident, balanced, and like yourself again.

My focus

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by depression or self-doubt, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I provide a supportive, culturally responsive space for adults, teens, and BIPOC clients to feel heard, understood, and free to show up as their authentic selves.

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts. I am a strengths-based therapist, so I build upon your skills and strengths to move you towards positive change. I may also incorporate mindfulness or other techniques to support your individualized goals and progress.
