I help women go from anxious, overattached and emotionally exhausted in relationships to calm, confident and secure – without losing themselves.

Hi, I'm Claire.

We all want to feel secure, be confident in our own skin and have amazing relationships. 

You're sick of being hijacked by someone else's mood, choices, approval or withdrawl


You’re sick of the constant mental noise. Of constantly rereading the same text thread, needing reassurance, and dating the same dude in different clothing. 

Maybe there was a period of time where the highs of getting attention, validation, or approval was fun. But ultimately, the roller coaster keeps crashing back down to suffering. 

Maybe you felt like putting everyone else’s needs first would ultimately make you happy. But it hasn’t.

Here's the Hard Truth...

You’re not one swipe away from solving this problem.

There’s a reason why it’s a pattern.
The good news is, you can solve it. The bad news is, nobody else can. 

Ultimately, building secure, amazing relationships is contingent on you

“Working with Claire has changed my life. Through our work together, I've developed a much better sense of self-awareness, compassion and confidence."

— PRIVATE CLIENT

She brings a unique depth of wisdom to therapy that blends traditional tools with more expansive, forward-thinking perspectives, which has had transformative results for me. Importantly, unlike therapists I've worked with in the past, she won't just sit there and nod and smile - she'll challenge you, hold a mirror and lovingly call you out when you're getting in your own way. That kind of honesty, paired with real compassion, is rare and exactly what I needed to grow.

“Claire is an exceptionally wise and gentle guide. Working with her was like finding safe harbor in a terrible storm: in the midst of a traumatic family event I found deep and grounding support, the kind that helped me to truly contend with the event."

— KATIE

Her support during that period was transformative in my experience of the trauma and myself and my family are all far better off for it. I am so grateful to Claire for this gift of light in the darkness.

Don't let your life be consumed by chaotic relationships

You know the feeling. The reactivity, the outsized emotions, feeling out of control in the present because of what happened in the past. I know that it sucks. Feeling like your past is thwarting what you want in the present, making you behave in a way that doesn't feel true to you.

You want to be bigger than what you’ve been through, but you find yourself repeating old patterns, carrying your history into your relationships. 

You want to trust yourself and chosen others. You want to feel secure. You want to tell the difference between your anxiety and what's true. You want to be open and connected! You want to be proud of how you treat yourself and others. 

And you can be.
