Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Claudia is a compassionate and dedicated clinical director and psychotherapist specializing in supporting women and mothers through life's transitions.
Claudia works with women who are feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, and undervalued—those navigating life adjustments and seeking to reconnect with themselves.

Drawing from a blend of evidence-based therapeutic methods that bridge physiological and cognitive processes, Claudia combines professional expertise with personal experience as a mother to foster meaningful, lasting healing. Central to Claudia's approach is a strong emphasis on identity work—helping clients explore the roots of their patterns of thinking, feeling, and being to build a more empowered and fulfilled sense of self.
