She provides a warm, authentic environment for her clients to explore their obstacles, recognizes their resiliency, and creates lasting change. Claire recognizes the innate value of each person and that the stories we tell about ourselves shape our identity. She has experience working with a broad range of clients and presenting issues, but specializes in teens, college students and young adults.
