Hi there, I'm Claudia!

I help individuals heal from the deep and lasting wounds of trauma. My clinical work has focused extensively on survivors of child sexual abuse, particularly those navigating the complex aftermath of being harmed by a trusted adult—such as a caregiver or a parent with narcissistic traits.

My focus

My ideal client is someone ready for change and willing to be an active participant in their healing journey. I work with adults and provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process your experiences, reconnect with your inner voice, and begin the journey toward healing.

My approach

I specialize in treating PTSD, with a specific focus on clients struggling to break free from abusive family dynamics or toxic bonds with their abuser. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck in patterns of self-blame, guilt, or emotional entanglement—what we often refer to as Stockholm Syndrome or trauma bonding.
