Meet Claire

Claire is a seasoned therapist known for her depth, intuition, and emotionally attuned presence.

With over a decade of clinical experience, she creates a safe and supportive space where individuals and couples can explore what’s beneath the surface and move toward greater connection and healing. Claire’s approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness—but it’s her warm, relational presence that truly sets her apart.

As an INFJ and Enneagram 4, Claire brings a rare combination of soulful insight and grounded therapeutic skill. She is especially passionate about helping women navigate life transitions, process attachment wounds, and rebuild a relationship with themselves. Claire also works extensively with couples, guiding them to better understand one another, break through patterns of disconnection, and strengthen emotional intimacy.

Her work is rooted in the belief that healing isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about rediscovering who you are, deepening connection, and building a life that feels authentic and aligned. Whether someone is struggling in a relationship, feeling lost in midlife, or carrying the weight of past experiences, Claire offers thoughtful guidance to help them move forward with clarity and self-trust.
