Hello, my name is Claudia, and I hold an LCSW to practice therapy in California. As a neurodivergent, queer practitioner, I am deeply engaged in the ongoing spiritual reclamation of my lineage. I come from generations of artists, dancers, and poets, and my approach reflects the creative, embodied wisdom of those who came before me. My work is designed to help individuals and organizations implement nonviolent communication, healing justice practices, and integration strategies that foster authenticity and alignment in daily life—through creativity, mindfulness, and somatics. Rooted in a community organizing foundation, my consulting work is highly strategic and intentionally targeted. I collaborate with organizations and individuals ready to embrace new approaches to solution-seeking—grounded in transformative justice, liberation, and nervous system regulation—while applying ancestral, intergenerational wisdom to sustain meaningful progress. I offer short-term, deeply immersive work that ensures rapid but lasting transformation, with results typically realized within 3 to 6 months. My approach is not just about conceptual change but about daily embodiment, where new habits of expansion and love are integrated into every dimension of life. Additionally, I provide multi-modality, creative expansion immersive art installations—transformational experiences designed to activate lasting shifts in one encounter. These immersive practices harness the wisdom of our five senses, rewiring internal narratives and dismantling restrictions that keep us stuck. If this resonates, let’s connect and explore how we can co-create something powerful together.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will gather history as part of an assessment and establish a plan for how our sessions will be structured. We will co-create norms and agreements that foster effective therapy and meaningful collaboration. Together, we will explore communication styles and relational dynamics to activate healthier interpersonal working relationships—ensuring that our work is deeply aligned with organizational growth. My approach centers on maintaining hope and building power against adversity. Through creative practices, we will unlearn oppressive habits that limit individual and collective potential, cultivating resilience and adaptability. Whether you continue working with me or transition to another Grow provider, trust in your process and honor your needs—because transformative change requires both commitment and courage.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I come from a long lineage of artists and poets, a heritage that has shaped how I process my emotions and experiences. Art remains at the core of my work, fueling my commitment to decolonial thriving. My background in community organizing has led me to provide workshops for organizations dedicated to immigrant rights, human rights, and environmental justice. In my practice, I weave together the essential connections between organizing, transformative justice, and healing justice—ensuring these principles guide our sessions toward meaningful and lasting change. I am tender,supportive, and direct. I will be courageous to tell you the truth, even if it is difficult. I provide evidence based and best practices to move through blocked painful beliefs, habits, and dynamics. I am immensevely creative and always have new tools and approaches to offer, and I enjoy providing choices to ensure the sessions are beneficial and that you practice asserting yourself.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work best with folks who are ready to overcome the harmful lineage of colonial domination and examine culture to center creative growth and thriving using short-term, deeply immersive work that ensures rapid but lasting transformation. Results typically realized within 3 to 6 months. I work best with creative and neurodiverse people of color who want to have more accountability and willing to try new approaches to overcoming challenges that include movement, self-expression, creativity, and spirituality in expanded forms. We will engage in short term therapy (3-6 months or less depemding on the target) in order to immediately implement grounding techniques and short term EMDR, art therapy, applied practices and move through stagnation into your power.
