About Claudia

I believe therapy can help people reconnect with parts of themselves that have been hidden, constrained, or unheard.


I work with adults and adolescents, in both individual and couples treatment, who feel stuck in old patterns, disconnected from their own authority, or unsure how to move toward a fuller and more authentic life.

My path to this work

My journey to becoming a psychotherapist grew out of my own inner work. Through that process, I began to heal childhood wounds, deepen my relationships, and create a life more aligned with my values. This experiene continues to inform how I sit with clients.

I meet each person with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to helping you develop a reliable, loving relationship with yourself.

Soul searching and self-trust

Soul searching is the process of exploring what matters most to you, sometimes against the pressure of outside expectations. It means tuning into your inner life, listening for what feels true, and discovering what brings meaning, aliveness, and agency. This work can be challenging, but it can also be profoundly liberating.

Training and influences

My work is informed by Internal Family Systems, psychoanalysis, breathwork, meditation, and yoga. These practices support awareness, self-compassion, emotional release, and personal integration, helping you reconnect with your own voice, aliveness, and sense of possibility.
