LMFT, 6 years of experience
New to Grow
I'm Claudine and I'm looking forward to working with clients who are serious about seeking a positive therapeutic relationship. I'm compassion focused while still pushing clients to do their best and meet their goals. Psycho education is big part of what I include in sessions to help clients understand how the process of therapy works and how my interventions can help you.
First session will be an opportunity to get to know each other and discuss what your goals are and what you want to get out of therapy. This is chance to see if I am the best therapist for you.
My strengths include leading with compassion, while also challenging my clients to reach their goals. I am a straight forward support system that will always remind you what your goals are how to achieve them in and out of therapy sessions.
My ideal clients are those who are serious about making positive changes in their life, are open to feedback and a challenge. I am a good fit for those who are new to therapy and who are seasoned in their mental health journey. Where ever you are in your healing, I am here to help, listen and support your goals. If you are seeking help with anxiety, depression, self esteem and/or relationships, I can be a good fit for you.
I am compassion focused by helping clients develop a kinder, more understanding relationship with themselves, especially when facing shame or self-criticism. Together, we will practice skills to activate their “compassionate mind,” so they can respond to challenges with warmth and balance rather than harsh judgment. This creates space for healing, resilience, and healthier connections with others.
