Hi, I’m Claire!
My Approach to Therapy:
My approach to therapy includes a focus of both collaboration and empowerment. I provide a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where my client's can feel both heard and supported. I am a firm believer of meeting my client's where they are at and incorporating an integrative and strength-based approach in treatment. My therapeutic style are warm, empathetic, strength-based, and culturally sensitive, which allows my client's to build on their own strengths and develop practical tools to make meaningful, lasting change.
What Sets Me Apart:
As a therapist, I've had the opportunity to work with various populations and within different settings. I bring a diverse range of life experiences within my practice, only furthering my understanding of my client's backgrounds and identities. Additionally, my work with athletes and within the sport psychology field has informed my holistic approach within treatment with my clients. I am passionate about my work with client's and am here to offer you my full support with compassion and empathy.
What I Like to Do On My Free Time:
In my free time, I enjoy playing/watching sports, spending time with friends and family, traveling, reading, and cooking.
