- LMHC, LPC
Hello, in an effort to introduce myself, I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I became involved in counseling because my husband was a Vietnam veteran that suffered from chronic PTSD and unfortunately Agent Orange. Initially, I wanted to only work with veterans' administration but there were other opportunities in life for me. I have worked in the prison system here in Florida, I have also worked at a community counseling centers and I have also had the pleasure to work with children, most of which were in the DCF program. Children are incredibly resilient. I have worked with clients that have suffered from depression, anxiety, anger management, abandonment issues, ADHD, and trauma.
Counselling for me is a way to help people reconnect to who they are, encourage faith, compassion and sensitivity and respect for who they are. I work to develop an empathetic working relationship based on trust. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help and change is hard, but incredible rewarding. Reach out and take the first step.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Respectful and kind
She has many different approaches to ADHD and anxiety that have helped me with my day to day as well as long term!
She listens, non judgemental and truly helpful. She gives you tools and knowledge needed to get through our daily struggles and difficult traumas
She makes me feel like I’m talking to a friend, and is very welcoming! I love talking to her because it truly makes me feel better after!
Claire is very helpful and supportive. I feel that she sometimes knows what I need before I do. I am very grateful to have a therapist like Claire.
Claire has been a great therapist for me ,so-far . She is a no-nonsense lady! She tells it like it is & will call you out on your crap. She may not always tell you what you want to hear, However; she will, (gently but firmly), Hold you accountable and say what's needed without any sugar-coating
Claire quickly identified where we needed to dial in for each other and individually. She gave us some great practical information and techniques to practice to improve in those areas. So far, we both have found her to be on point, light, positive, humour full and kind.
I am very pleased with the sessions that I have had with Claire. I was lost and locked into a tight circle of thought that was doing damage to my family, and Claire worked with me to break this and help me understand that things can never be perfect, and how others feel is just as important as how I feel. Claire was very professional but also very firm with me - something that is important when you need to hear the truth. Thank you Claire!
Claire was amazing at helping me identify my anxiety. Initially we started with some “homework”, breathing exercises and journaling prompts. I was in a transformative point in my life, weighing career changes & midlife in general, when I started my sessions with Claire. Then my father passed. Claire was able to relate to what I was going through and help vocalize what I was feeling. I liked that she re-enforced a lot of what I was thinking and focusing on the positive thinking.
Claire has been such a great person for my first-ever therapy experience and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to receive care from her. Thank you so much!!
I feel like im matched to the best therapist. She challenges my thoughts, and knows exactly what to target .
Claire is fantastic. She tells me what I need to hear exactly how I need to hear it.
I'm very happy that I matched with Claire. She's extremely kind, friendly, open-minded and insightful. She gave me practical advice and asked me great questions to get to the root of my problems. She was always very patient and supportive and I feel like i'm doing much better now because of her. She has my highest recommendation.
Claire is a no-nonsense therapist who challenges your thinking. She’s insightful, asks questions, and provides a variety of material and exercises to help bring about those moments of epiphany. It can take quite a bit of time for me to internalize a realization. Claire is patient, but tough. Like any good coach, she does not allow me to simply slip past an issue that I don’t want to deal with. She helps me focus on it and deal with it so that I can move on. I recommend Claire to anyone who is serious about doing the work and improving.
Thank you Claire, for your wisdom and clarity on anxiety issues. You have been a big help. Thank you.
