About me

My name is Claudia, and I’ve been working in the helping field for over 14 years. For the past seven years as a therapist, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families, adults, teens, and children through life’s many transitions. I bring a kind, eclectic approach to my work, tailoring therapy to meet each person where they are. My goal is to walk alongside you as you create a meaningful and fulfilling life that aligns with your values.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first therapy session, we’ll take time to get to know one another and explore whether we’re a good fit to work together. I focus on understanding your story, your hopes, and what you’d like to gain from therapy. We’ll also identify what’s already working in your life, so we can build from your existing strengths as we move forward together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I strive to approach life and therapy with openness, acceptance, and curiosity. I remain committed to learning and evolving, both personally and professionally. I believe deeply in the connection between the mind and body, and I enjoy incorporating this understanding into my work to support meaningful and lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with people who are willing to let me into their world to support them through life's transitions. It is my goal to hold space for people who want to increase their life satisfaction and feel the need for additional support. Throughout my professional journey, I have worked with children, teens, adults and families. This has allowed me to grow and be able facilitate change.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Addressing difficult thoughts and feelings, instead learning to accept support in committing to actions that align with individual values to live a meaningful life

Trauma-Focused CBT

Approach utilized with children and adolescents experiencing trauma by integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-specific skills. My goal is to address memories, develop coping strategies, thoughts, and restore family communication, helping kids feel safe.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Talk therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may contribute to unhealthy patterns.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

With specific Mindfulness CBT training, the goal is to bring nonjudgmental, present-moment awareness to thoughts, feelings, and sensations, helping clients disengage from automatic reactions, manage stress, and improve emotional regulation.

EMDR

As an EMDR trained clinician, I bring my knowledge of trauma and reprocessing into the session. The goal is to help the brain reprocess traumatic or distressing memories to reduce emotional intensity and help the nervous system settle and feel safe.

I really enjoyed my session with Claudia, especially her ability to assess the material I was expressing and how that might have had an impact on myself as a person. It was amazing to be able to speak to her regarding issues I've had and hear another person's point of view. I really enjoyed that this conversation went so smoothly and there was no shame in emotions I expressed but rather a more clinical evaluation of what the reason for the emotions may actually be. HIGHLY recommend her to others

Claudia is warm, intelligent, experienced and a good listener. She came up with a good therapy plan for my goal for self compassion, self love and improved mental health.
