About Me
Hello, I’m Claire. I’ve been practicing therapy for over 15 years, and one simple principle continues to guide my work: people heal best when they feel safe enough to be fully themselves.
Earlier in my career, I worked in hospice and palliative care supporting individuals and families through experiences of illness, death, and grief. That experience continues to shape the patience and care I bring to my practice.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and deeply self-aware. They often understand their patterns intellectually, yet still feel stuck in their bodies, relationships, or emotional lives. Together, we slow things down and gently explore what’s happening beneath the surface.
Therapy with me is collaborative and responsive to who you are. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we pay attention to your nervous system, your emotions, and the parts of you that developed to help you cope. I meet you where you are, and together we decide what approaches and interventions may best support your goals.
