Claire's Take on Treatment
"The bravest action a person can take is to ask for help! Wherever you are in your journey, my primary goal is to create a treatment plan tailored to you. By working together, we can move towards a life filled with authenticity and compassion!"
Approach to Therapy
Claire’s approach to therapy is empowering, creative, and radically genuine. Claire believes the key to therapy involves a strong therapeutic relationship to ensure a safe and collaborative space. She incorporates various evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure & Response Prevention, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. She specializes in working with all types of anxiety and OCD. She is comfortable working with children, teens, and adults and often incorporates families and supportive others in the treatment process.
