Are you stuck in conflict-with your partner, your teenager, a family member, or even within yourself? Do you find yourself questioning your worth, overthinking your relationships, or feeling overwhelmed with anxiety? You don't have to figure it out alone. Therapy can help you understand the patterns that keep you stuck and build healthier ways of connecting with yourself and the people you care about. I help teens and adults build confidence, manage anxiety, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change. I also help parents strengthen their connection with their teens while reducing conflict at home. My approach is compassionate, relational and trauma-informed, integrating mindfulness, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic and narrative principles to support insight and healing. A bit about me...I became licensed in the state of California in 2011. Prior to that, I received a M.A. in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University and a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Women’s Studies from the University of California at Berkeley. I have worked in schools, non-profit agencies, and in private practice, serving diverse populations to include children, adolescents, adult individuals, families, and couples. I look forward to connecting with you. ** También hablo español. No dude en comunicarse conmigo si necesita apoyo. Espero poder conversar con usted pronto.
In our first session, we will focus on what's bringing you in and what you would like to see change. I'll ask questions about current challenges, patterns you've noticed, and any relevant background, while also giving you space to share at your own pace.
I focus heavily on relationships, communication, and offering practical tools to manage stress and feel more in control. I focus on helping you understand patterns while also creating real, noticeable change. I believe wholeheartedly that when we are truly seen and met with care, something shifts. Healing can begin to happen.
I enjoy working most with individuals that are open to self reflection and willing to engage in the therapeutic process. I encourage clients to be curious and also allow me the opportunity to earn their trust. While I offer a supportive and compassionate space, therapy is a collaborative process that requires effort and honesty. I support clients in engaging in this work at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

I approach therapy with an understanding of how past experiences can impact the nervous system, emotions, and relationships. I prioritize safety and respect, and work collaboratively to achieve therapeutic goals. My belief is that healing happens in relationships that are nurturing and feel safe.

I felt good about our initial intake, Claudia was warm and engaging and made me feel heard and understood. She was conversational and nurturing while still challenging me when appropriate. Looking forward to future sessions.

It was only our first session and so much of what she said hit home. Her questions were astute and thought-provoking. I feel fortunate to have met her and look forward to upcoming sessions.
