I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I work with a variety of concerns including trauma, addiction, body image and weight loss issues, relationship issues, and life purpose. I have also worked with many people recovering from mass traumas, such as school shootings.
I have presented at International conferences and written 25 continuing education courses for psychotherapists. My goal is always to identify ways the practice of psychotherapy can be improved, and find new and innovative ways clinicians can help their clients.
In my free time, I enjoy ultrarunning, bringing my three rescue horses up the levels in dressage and completing a long overdue manuscript.
I believe in empowering my clients, treating them with respect, and honoring their life choices. I believe that the keys to improved mental health and happiness exist inside every client. My approach is existential in nature, and looks to help people find what is truly most important to them, and move in that direction. Together, I believe we can find a way to a fulfilling, rewarding, and meaningful life - regardless of what life has put you through.
I look forward to working with you!

Claire and I have become a well oiled-machine working together. She is fabulous at pushing my boundaries in a way that helps me to grow as an individual while also providing me deep and thought provoking questions and insight that has really helped me to progress an incredible amount in the last six months or so. This is in part possible because she really makes me feel like I can open up about anything, which helps Claire to be able to better guide me where I want and need to go. Yes, I am doing the hard work, but Claire skillfully guides me there. It is a team effort and Claire goes above and beyond to uphold her end of the therapy.

Claire is amazing. This is my first time trying therapy and Claire gave me everything I wanted to get out from this. I would recommend Claire to anyone who has had the misfortune of dealing with a narcissist, anyone who is going through addiction, family trauma… etc she made me feel seen. She made me feel heard and she validated my reality and experiences but most importantly she has given me tools I need to deal with experiences and has always asked the right questions to help me shift my mindset to address the root of my issues. Thank you, Claire for all of your help!

I feel like Claire really listens to me, but doesn’t take it easy on me or let me make excuses. She has really given me a lot of insight into myself that spans so many facets of my life.
Written on May 21, 2022 after therapy with Claire for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, eating disorders, and adhd
Claire gets it. I go into a session and come out knowing something about myself that I never thought of or having tools to deal with my issues that are just amazing. She is creative when it comes to trying to find ways to help you solve your issues and always gives you somethimg to think about throughout the week. It feels like an active recovery process and she definitely pushed me out of the victim role into the role of taking back my life. "I am the author of my story". Thank you.
