​In our world, it is increasingly difficult to live a life of peace, contentment, and wellness. As women, we carry so much with us, both seen and unseen.
Are you going through a stressful situation, feeling hopeless from unmet expectations, stuck in negative mindsets or behaviors, or constantly overworking unable to put your needs on your to-do list? Does your life look fine from the outside, but inside you feel empty, hopeless, or like you're barely hanging on? Change is possible and you can pursue healing and freedom.

hi there!
I'M CLARA
THERAPY
MY APPROACH
Therapy should be more than treating a diagnosis, a set of symptoms, or an event that happened to you. Anxiety, depression, hopelessness, self-doubt, burn out, and negative self-image are all symptoms of underlying root causes. Faulty core beliefs, unresolved trauma, grief, unforgiveness, and toxic lifestyles can lead to walking in less than ideal mental spaces.
​​
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the interplay between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We can better understand what might have you stuck and find freedom in cultivating new healthy thought patterns. I also take counseling a step further than listening and processing, incorporating a psycho-educational approach and teaching strategies to create lasting change.

WHAT IS CHRISTIAN COUNSELING?
Christian Counseling integrates faith and a biblical worldview into the therapy process. I view this as an invitation rather than a mandate or set of rules. It is the nitty-gritty work of taking every thought captive and making it obedient to Christ - where we open wide a door for freedom (2 Cor. 10:5; Galations 5:1). We get to partner with God in the healing design and order He created, looking at mind, body, and spirit. I respect where you are at in your faith journey and understand if you would prefer not to have this a part of the therapy process.
