Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Berkeley, CA
I incorporate mindfulness, somatic awareness, parts work, (i.e., Internal Family Systems, or IFS), dream work, imaginal attunement, and relational inquiry as elements of my approach.
The call to begin therapy usually begins with a difficulty of some kind: emotional suffering, existential uneasiness, relationship challenges, experiencing the effects of trauma, and other crises mild or severe. Something hurts or feels wrong, and this is a signal that something is calling for care and attention. In my work, I meet you fully right where you are, tending to whatever difficulties you are bringing so that the natural process of healing can begin to unfold.

I blend somatic, cognitive, & mindfulness practices to release stress and support emotional balance and a calm body, including gentle tools like Emotional Freedom Techniques (Tapping).
Whether it’s your first time in therapy or your fifth, you deserve to feel seen and heard. In moments of overwhelm, I bring warmth, presence, and a space to hold the nuances of healing. Some days you feel anxious; other times, you’re moving through fog. Maybe stress or trauma show up in your body — through pain or chronic conditions no one else can see. Perhaps food and movement have become a source of pressure, shaped by harmful diet culture. Whether you’re healing from emotional or sexual trauma, coping with health changes, or yearning for a trusting relationship with your body, therapy invites us to pause and feel grounded again.

Telehealth only, early a.m. sessions available, prompt email communication. Are you plagued by "What if..." thoughts? Overwhelmed by fear, worry? Consumed by negativity? Self-talk can be debilitating. It drives behavior, alters mood, interferes with sleep. Feeling stuck or frustrated? Nothing is permanent. Difficult situations at work, with your health or in your personal life can be navigated. Acceptance of your reality, like health, transitions or aging issues, makes a significant difference. Let me help you feel more at peace and learn skillful ways to respond to those thoughts.

My approach integrates psychodynamic and existential-humanistic theory, and utilizes trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral (i.e. ACT, DBT) interventions.
You may feel stuck, drained, or overwhelmed. Perhaps you have a sense that life could feel different, better, or somehow more enlivened than it currently does. I strive to create a safe container to help you access the parts of you that are innately whole, connected, and oriented toward the North Star in your night sky. I believe that under the right conditions, with the right tools, and through the right relationships, each of us is capable of the healing, growing, and thriving that we seek. Through empathic attunement and active collaboration, I hope to help you learn to experience, explore, and nurture your most authentic self.

Hi, I’m Claire. I specialize in supporting people through life and career transitions. Having navigated my own pivot from corporate marketing, I understand the overwhelm of change. Leveraging Internal Family Systems and somatic approaches, I help you move beyond patterns of fear, doubt, and avoidance so you can step into clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll break limiting cycles, face uncertainty with resilience, and create a life guided by your deepest values.

My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based, grounded in both mindfulness and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Therapy with me is collaborative - you bring expertise on yourself, and I bring expertise on mental health. Together, we identify goals for therapy, and update them as you make progress (and as life throws curve balls). I keep you in the loop about what we're doing and why, and am receptive to your feedback.

I specialize in evidence-based and mindfulness approaches.
I believe that therapy can be a catalyst not only for insight, but also for transformation. Life can be challenging, and at times, despite our best efforts we can feel stuck or lost.

I offer specific strategies and tools to help you change your relationship to difficult thoughts and feelings, and work collaboratively with you to take steps toward a life that is full of vitality and personal fulfillment. My style is warm and genuine, interactive, and culturally-sensitive.

My primary area of focus has been working with people who suffer from trauma and anxiety, in addition to depression. I do much work with those who suffer from emotional neglect, abuse histories, & post-traumatic stress (PTSD). I'm certified in EMDR and am continually impressed at the ability of something so simple to so rapidly relieve pain and suffering. EMDR has been listed as one of the leading trauma therapies. It can also be very effective in helping those who suffer from a childhood history of family difficulties and a lack of nurturing. Also trained in Somatic Experiencing.

I also emphasize the important role that mindfulness, supportive social networks and good self care can play in emotional health and healing.
I work with individuals and couples facing significant life choices and transitions in areas such as relationships, marriage, divorce, parenthood, career, and identity. I also have a sub-specialization in work with survivors of trauma. I am experienced in working with clients from a wide range of cultural and geographic backgrounds. In our sessions I provide clients a place to find support, acceptance, perspective and hope, to explore themselves and their lives in depth, and to develop more effective ways of relating to themselves and others.

“There’s nothing more healing than choosing love.” You want connection and closeness, yet you struggle to find it. You feel frustrated that your relationships aren’t fulfilling or aren't right for you.

Perhaps you're struggling with isolation, anxiety, depression, or overwhelm. These are real challenges. Together we can co-create a gentle yet courageous space to explore who you are, what you need, and how to try new things that move you toward what you value most in life and in your relationships.

I work with individuals who want to overcome persistent behaviors, thoughts and emotions that inhibit their ability to live a life they love so that they have meaningful relationships, deeply fulfilling work and self-confidence. My approach is based on the belief that in order to benefit from therapy the therapeutic relationship must be grounded in direct communication, collaboration and compassion. You need someone to be real who will both challenge and care for you. My patients often reflect they are relieved to finally work with someone who engages in conversation and shares responsibility for the progress of each session.
