Connection,
right where you are.
Welcome, I’m glad you are here.
Feeling lost, small, or stuck? Discover the tools to guide you toward a life that feels free, abundant, and fluid.
Part of being human is embracing the messiness — making mistakes, facing challenges, and learning along the way. When problems arise, it’s often a sign that you’ve become disconnected from your true self.
Together, we can explore who you really are, what truly matters to you, and take meaningful steps toward living the life you desire.
“Tell me,
what is it you plan to do
with your one
wild and precious life?”

Meet Claudia
With over 15 years of supporting individuals through life's turning points—moments that are challenging and also opportunities for profound growth—I value fostering self-efficacy, autonomy, and choice. Life’s messy nature often brings surprises—things don’t always go as planned. Intentional, values-aligned choices allow us to stay true to ourselves. I understand the impact of lost choice, as well as the profound self expression and healing that comes from boundaries being respected and choices celebrated—leading to deep fulfillment and peace.
Services
Complimentary Intro Call
I offer a brief, no-cost introductory call to help you determine whether my approach is the right fit for your needs. During this conversation, you’ll have the opportunity to share your goals, ask questions, and learn more about my philosophy of care. This call is not a clinical assessment, but rather a chance for us to understand what you’re looking for—and for you to feel confident and supported before beginning your treatment journey.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Your care begins with a thorough integrative psychiatric evaluation designed to understand the full picture of your mental health. We look beyond symptoms to assess biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that may influence how you feel. This in-depth assessment allows us to identify root causes—not just surface-level patterns—and create a customized treatment plan aligned with your goals and values.
Individual Therapy
Therapy for anxiety, depression, and complex trauma integrate Internal Family Systems Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to foster deep inner knowing and help you live aligned with your true self. Guided by your most wise self, we work toward cultivating a sense of ease and presence in the world.
Lifestyle Coaching
Lifestyle coaching empowers you to make informed choices about nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management. By incorporating lifestyle modifications into your treatment plan, we aim to enhance your overall well-being, resilience, and capacity to thrive in everyday life.
Medication Management
Medication management services embrace an intentional, scientific approach—using medication as a supportive tool for growth and healing. Guided by a holistic, integrative perspective, we prioritize cautious and mindful use to serve your recovery and well-being.
Lab Testing and Evaluation
Integrative psychiatry recognizes that mental health is deeply connected to physical health. When appropriate, we offer laboratory and functional testing to evaluate nutrient levels, hormones, inflammation markers, metabolic factors, and other systems that may influence mood and cognition.

Testimonials
"When Claudia and I first began working together, I was going through a particularly hard time in my life. I was feeling overwhelmed with life. Claudia's ability to really listen to me and ask the hard questions helped me move past my negative mind talk and reframe my feelings of self doubt. Claudia has an incredible ability to be intuitive. I felt safe with her and could trust her, which allowed me to open up to her which is not always easy for me to do. She was patient and encouraging, and cheered me on."
-Julia, 54
"Claudia is a thorough listener and very present during our sessions. She creates a safe place where I feel comfortable to open up to her about how I am feeling. She has been very encouraging and has helped me come up with plans and goals to improve on. She celebrates my victories with me and is very supportive and uplifting when I am feeling discouraged. She has helped me create a strong foundation for improving my life and self confidence.”
-Celeste, 28
"When I started working with Claudia, I was trying to make changes in my life, but I felt like I was stalling out. Claudia helped me take concrete steps and reminded me to learn and be open while making progress. One key insight was that I had not yet taken the time to rest and explore my direction intuitively. Accepting this and giving myself the space has made a big difference. Claudia is great at reframing what she’s hearing. She’s not parroting back exactly what you said in her reflection. She is adding another lens, while checking whether that feels right to you."
-Victoria, 48
