Hello. I'm Claudia. Hola! Hablo español. Helping others and being a support has always been my passion.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin. Liberation and transcendence —getting your power back, finding your spark; these are at the core of my practice. My approach holds a reflective space to process stuck zones, and traces connections to draw insights that inform needs to meet with specific tools and strategies towards creating opportunities. It’s grounded on the existential, the arts, and sociocultural dynamics, while implementing research and assessment to guide unique, individualized treatments to align identity, purpose, and connection.

My clinical approach is multi-disciplinary and rooted in psychodynamic theory, existential psychology, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also have a background in integrative health and wellness, which can contribute to a more in-depth perspective on treatment. My style is collaborative, intuitive, direct, and non-judgemental, and I encourage clients to be true to themselves and transparent. Although treatment is based on an individual's needs and goals, principle themes in all treatment are to help one regain one’s confidence and strength and to reinforce one’s resiliency.

Are you exploring your sexuality or gender and need support? Are you healing from sexual assault or intimate partner violence and don't know how to talk about it? Are you in the kink and/or poly community and need nonjudgmental support? I get it. It can be scary to look for a therapist when your experiences are outside "the norm." I empower my clients to become more self-aware and to better understand and process their unique experiences in a collaborative, self-affirming environment.

Thank for your interest in my therapy practice. I’m a trauma-focused therapist who specializes in helping people heal from childhood trauma, PTSD, and psycho-emotional wounds. I see healing as a deeply personal and meaningful journey to recover our authentic wholeness and unique gifts for the world. It often involves reconnecting to and integrating split-off parts of ourselves, clearing traumatic memories, and releasing blockages and old patterns that no longer serve us. I work with a variety of healing modalities that are particularly helpful for healing trauma, including EMDR, journey work, parts work, and hypnotherapy.

Are you overwhelmed by the number of things you "have to do" when you don't "want to do" any of them? Some days, you might feel stuck in a rut and can’t get out. You might feel like are holding everything together, but you aren’t enjoying your life. You may question the direction of your life. When you stop to think about it, you may realize don't like the path you are on. Yet, you aren’t sure whether it's scarier that you don’t often question the path or how often you continue to march down the path knowing how you feel. Yes, it’s a scary place to be, but you gathered up the courage to take the first step. Most people don't.

I specialize in working with individuals (including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+) who are coping with depression, anxiety, burnout, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, life transitions, and perinatal mental health. Many of my clients find it challenging to stop people-pleasing, set healthy boundaries, and express their needs effectively. They often feel stuck in unhelpful patterns and find it hard to break free from behaviors that no longer serve them. They come from backgrounds with dysfunctional family dynamics and are now on a journey to heal and create more satisfying relationships with themselves and their loved ones.

As children, and throughout our lives, many of us are taught, through our families, our peers and our culture, that parts of the truth of who we are—our feelings, thoughts, desires, expression or identity—are bad or wrong, and that we must cut off and bury those unacceptable parts of ourselves in order to be loved. We spend much of our lives living with a fractured sense of self, without ever really knowing why we suffer, feel incomplete, ashamed, and never enough, filling the holes in our hearts with poor substitutes for the acceptance, love and connection we so truly need.

I specialize in attachment theory, addiction/addiction related issues, & becoming more aligned with your authentic self. I also enjoy working with couples wanting to strengthen communication skills or rebuild trust within their relationship. Caregivers were the first to teach us how to relate to others. Healthy relationships are often not modeled for us & we wonder why the same patterns repeat. I can help you gain insight into these patterns & we will work together to have healthier relationships. My goal is to get to know you, establish a strong connection, and provide a safe space to begin your healing journey together.

We all deserve space to be our full selves. I view my role as therapist as a co-explorer: I walk alongside you as you navigate your authentic experience of this world. In session, we follow what feels present for you in the moment and approach what arises with curiosity. This mindful awareness helps you build relationship with more "parts" of you. I aim to allow all of you in. Eventually, this process of being "more you" can lead to a more grounded and authentically connected experience of life, one in which you find yourself with more choice, agency, and fulfillment.

My clients often come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety or depression, seeking deeper intimacy, or processing grief and loss. They're typically thoughtful individuals ready to explore their emotional landscape but unsure where to begin. Whether they're couples rebuilding connection, professionals managing stress, or individuals exploring cultural identity and intergenerational patterns, they share a desire for authentic change. They value both practical coping strategies and deeper psychological work, and are drawn to an approach that honors evidence-based techniques alongside cultural wisdom in their healing journey.
