Maybe distressing thoughts or feelings are making it hard to fully engage in life. Maybe painful experiences have left you hooked on the past, or so worried about the future that the present slips by. Or maybe things feel fine on the surface, but you've hit a wall, whether with yourself, in a relationship, or in a pattern you can't quite name or challenge. Even the most thoughtful, competent people can get stuck repeating strategies that no longer work. Your brain and body can learn something new: That's what this work is for.
I specialize in supporting adults with anxiety, OCD, and a history of trauma. My approach is active and collaborative; I won't just sit back and nod, and I often bring humor into sessions. We'll draw on evidence-based methods like ACT and ERP, tailored to what actually works for you, plus mindfulness to help you stay present even when it's hard.
At the center of this work is curiosity and self-compassion: learning to meet your thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. This helps to clear the way for greater self-understanding, more flexible coping responses, and the courage to make choices that move you toward living well.

I think Claire's mix of kindness and humor really helps people feel comfortable. She's down to earth and relatable. She's very knowledgable about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and works with folks experiencing anxiety, OCD, and PTSD.

I draw primarily from TFACT (Trauma-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), adapting each to fit the person in front of me rather than following a script. At their core, these methods use mindfulness, values, and experiential learning to help folks make real, lasting change.
