Hi there, I'm Claudia!

I offer a collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered approach to therapy. I believe that healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself.

My focus

I work with adults navigating a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, substance use, psychiatric illness, and LGBTQ+ affirming care.

My approach

Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, identity exploration, life transitions, or feeling stuck, I'm here to help you explore what's underneath and move toward a more grounded, empowered version of yourself. I draw from evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches.
