More About Me

I am deeply committed to helping individuals gain confidence, build emotional balance, and embrace their authentic selves. My approach is tailored to each client and what works best for them.

I see clients ages 6 and older, and I draw from play-based, mindfulness, and experiential therapies to support emotional expression, self-awareness, and regulation. With younger clients, this often includes creative and activity-based work; with teens and young adults, it may look more like reflective conversations, mindfulness skills, or experiential strategies that foster insight and confidence. No matter the age, I prioritize creating a warm, safe, and accepting space where exploration, learning, and healing can unfold.

I frequently work with anxiety, emotional regulation, identity exploration, social skills, and neurodivergence. I aim to help young people feel understood, capable, and empowered — and I collaborate with families to strengthen communication, connection, and support at home.

Claire is under the supervision of Dr. David Lane (CPCS 0034).

On A Personal Note:

I love connecting with people—and connecting people with each other. A few years ago, I introduced three friends to one another for a low-stakes, competitive speed puzzle night. We spent the next year solving puzzles together. These days, the puzzles have mostly been replaced with dinners, arts & craft nights, and celebrating life's milestones together. That same appreciation for genuine connection naturally carries into the way I approach therapy.
