My name is Claire and I'm glad you're here. I have been involved in psychotherapy for the past 15 years, 7 of those years providing services in NYC. I am thrilled to be back in my roots and being an agent of change in Acadiana. I received my masters of social work at New York University and attended undergraduate at University of Lafayette. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board Approved Clinical Supervisor.

 I have experience of providing therapy services to children, adolescents, families, couples and group work.I am currently only accepting individual clients, ages 18+. I have over 11+ years of supervision experience to graduate level interns and graduate level trained social workers and have served in administration roles for 10+ years. 
Feeling heard, supported and understood is a critical part of therapy.  Clients come to me for personalized life enhancements and to create a life they love. I empower, create confidence and provide internal tools to cope with life stressors.  I employ a direct, humanistic, solution focused approach to discover, heal and change. 

I am dedicated to offering compassionate and inclusive therapy services tailored to the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals and other marginalized communities.  We aim  to create a safe, supportive, and affirming environment where everyone can access the mental health care they deserve.

Claire resides in Lafayette, LA with her husband and two fur babies. She has served on several non-profit boards in the area and is currently aligned with many mental health initiatives in the area.  In her free time, she enjoys volunteering, cooking, attending local festivals, traveling and writing her first book.
