Hi there, I'm Claudia!

I help people work through anxiety, depression, stress, anger management, and relationship issues. My services focus on developing skills that help you peel through and examine the complex layers of daily life to fully understand yourself and others around you.

My focus

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, unhealthy lifestyle adjustments, abuse, anger management, and stress. I also support families experiencing grief, divorce, financial instability, and adjusting to foster care living arrangements.

My approach

I utilize CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you identify and understand the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Treatment is a collaborative approach, and I'm dedicated to helping you overcome obstacles and become the best version of yourself.

My communication style

Therapy is an intimate experience that involves vulnerability and trust. It's important to me that you feel safe and comfortable when we're together. I believe in meeting you where you are, accepting your individuality, and supporting you through your journey of personal growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for helping others and fostering meaningful connections led me to become a therapist. I believe every client has the potential to change and grow, and it brings me immense joy to witness those pivotal moments when you realize your own strengths.

My goals for you

I believe effective collaboration is the key to a successful therapeutic relationship. My goal is to be an effective listener to help you identify ways we can accomplish your goals. I promise to offer trust, honesty, and encouragement along the way.

Our first session

During our initial meeting, I prioritize listening and learning about your presenting issues. This helps me identify ways I can best support you. Together, we'll collaboratively establish three clear goals to accomplish during our time together, and I'll tailor my approach around those goals.
