Professional statement

Claire uses a client-centered, empathic approach that allows clients to feel fully seen and heard. She has experience working with emerging, young adults and adults struggling with life’s toughest challenges, including academic or work-related stress, anxiety, grief, overwhelm, burnout, relationship issues, fertility issues, or parental/caregiver challenges. Using a strengths-based, ecological, and systems perspective, Claire works with her clients to examine their lived experience, both past and present, helping them understand the complex interplay of outside inputs with their own perceptions, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Claire then works with each client to identify their unique patterns of thinking and behaving, bringing greater awareness to the client’s situation and equipping them with tools to resolve their challenges. Claire has a uniquely casual, yet professionally trained approach that puts clients at ease and fosters a sense of connection, empowerment, and teamwork.

Message to clients

I take a calm, positive approach to therapy, creating a safe, welcoming space for us to work together. As a wife, mother, and friend, I understand the roles and expectations we juggle. I begin with a thorough assessment to focus our work on what matters most. Together, we’ll define goals, explore interventions, and equip you with tools to address current challenges and navigate future ones. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, others, and your environment.
