Individual therapy and couples counseling focused on expanding self awareness, creating self compassion and finding clarity through the exploration of our inner landscape.

I believe that through compassionate attention and curious observation our inner wisdom can help guide us from a place of suffering to a place of resilience, confidence and healing. I use an integrated approach that draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, compassion focused techniques and mindfulness. With warmth and curiosity I employ a somatic lens, bringing attention to the parts of us that may have gone unseen. Together we reflect on the past, find knowledge in the present and move forward toward your desires and goals with more clarity.

I am curious about all human experience and find it to be the truest honor when clients share theirs with me. I believe that everyone benefits from having someone to talk to. This is a space to explore anything that is showing up in your life or keeping you stuck. My experience includes, but is not limited to:

Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Grief, Death, Life Transitions and Self Exploration.

About me

I was born in California and raised in Canada, my unique life experiences have contributed to my compassion and desire to hold space for others. I have recovered from life altering surgeries, I have rebuilt after natural disasters, I have had the great privilege of traveling and learning how people live around the world and now as a mother, I am learning to reparent and grow my capacity to nurture.

When I am not seeing clients you will find me hiking with my son and fiancé, playing beach volleyball with friends, cooking or re centering myself in the ocean.

Reviews

  • "I have worked with Claire as my healer for numerous Reiki sessions. I benefited immensely from the combination of talking before and after our Reiki session, where we explored sticking points in my life and how that shows up in my body. In a world where I'm constantly in my head, Claire grounded me in my breath and body with a specific understanding of where I'm at in life."

  • "I was new to reiki but found that the dual talk-meditation combination was incredibly grounding and therapeutic. Claire is so welcoming and patient, I cannot recommend her enough!"

  • "In our Reiki session, I felt like she was my partner in embodiment -- I've found this aspect of Claire's practice totally unique and particularly healing given the ways I often feel disconnected from my body moving through the world."

  • “Claire is wonderful, and she really helped me make the personal progress I was looking to make! I had never done Reiki before seeing Claire, and it was a great experience. She has such a warm, compassionate, and calm style, and she really eased me in to help me understand what to expect and get the most out of it. Great listener and offers helpful insight to help me find inner confidence and clarity. “

  • "I came to Claire for my first ever Reiki/Talk Therapy session and absolutely loved it. Her warm, calming presence made me feel at ease, and she walked me through what to expect so I felt prepared. She helped me talk through some current challenges in my life and helped me connect my mental state to my body. I left feeling more grounded, more relaxed, and with more clarity."
