Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or caught in patterns that no longer feel like you?

I’m Clayre, an affirming trauma therapist who is trans, nonbinary, neurodivergent, and queer. I offer a space that is relational, grounded, and attuned, where we can begin to understand what’s happening in your mind and body, your relationships, and your inner world.

Not accepting new clients
I work from a relational, psychodynamic stance that focuses on creating a safe, comfortable space for clients to explore and reach their goals.
Many of the clients I see feel a deep sense of sadness, pain, or worry that interferes with their ability to fully engage in their lives. Often they struggle in regulating their emotions, feeling grounded, and effective in their daily living. Relationships with others are more difficult than they would like. Previous experiences or traumas might lead to intrusive memories or thoughts. They might have goals that they fall short of meeting or want to continue to excel under pressure. Life can be stressful, scary, unbearable, and complex- you don't have to face it alone.
