I also enjoy working with young adults as they begin to figure out who they are while transitioning into a more independent individual.

Having spent over a decade working in University Counseling Centers, I enjoy working with individuals at points in their life of growth or transition, whether forced upon them or chosen. Change is hard, when it's chosen and even more so when it's not. Having support can empower you to use the momentum created by change to create the life you want for yourself, instead of feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed by all that life changes require. Whether in a moment of distress or a desire to grow beyond the past, I value the opportunity to support clients in finding choices that allow them to live a more balanced and genuine life.

Ultimately, they seek therapy to feel empowered, gain insights into their emotions and behaviors, and develop skills that foster personal growth and emotional resilience.

Does life feel heavy? How many times have you googled, "What is wrong with me?" When people ask, “How are you?’ you respond with “I'm fine,” but deep down you are not feeling fine; instead, you are hurting and feeling overwhelmed by the weight of past traumas or the many vicious curveballs that life tends to throw at us. Many of the clients that I support are struggling with trauma, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, and perinatal/postpartum challenges. I also have a passion for helping children and teens navigate life challenges, relationships problems and self-identity exploration.

Hey there, I’m Clay, a therapist who’s here to support you on your journey through life.

Do you notice yourself struggling with communication, people-pleasing, or setting boundaries? Have you been trying to figure out who you are after living in survival mode? If so, you may be in the right place. I’m most passionate about working with first-time therapy goers, complex trauma survivors, and folks with ADHD. I also love working with creatives, writers, and artists who want to integrate their passions with their therapeutic journey. More recently, I've developed an interest in helping those struggling with nightmares or recurring dreams find relief through dreamwork and Jungian Psychology.

Hey! and Welcome. Just thinking about working on yourself is courageous, so I’m rooting for you for just being here. Over time, I have found that lots of people come to my virtual therapy office when, on paper, they have emotional and intellectual intelligence, they are driven and have supportive relationships in their life, yet there is often still a loud inner critic, a pattern of people pleasing, a feel of not being enough, that keeps coming up suggesting deeper work. It is my joy and honor to be able to build relationships with clients (and even have fun) untangling these patterns so you can finally feel as great as you are.
