ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider
Hi, I’m Claire.
I am a licensed marriage & family therapist in North Carolina. My clinical focus areas include neurodivergent (ADHD/ASD) populations, couples therapy, life transitions, anxiety, and college student issues.
Building trust with my clients and empowering them to make change in their lives and relationships is my priority. I believe empathy and authenticity are an important part of the therapeutic relationship.
I am a woman with ADHD. I love spending time with my beagle, Coach, exploring new places, and cheering on the Hurricanes during hockey season. Connection and authenticity are core values that I bring with me to therapy.
My Approach
I view therapy as a journey we are both on, with different destinations. I am here to help you identify obstacles, explore where you want to go, and assist you in making the best changes for yourself and your relationships. Ultimately, you are the one in charge of your life and I am here to guide, offer support, and point out problem areas you may not see.
Treatment Models:
Emotionally Focused Therapy
Gottman Method
Attachment-based
Relational/Couples Therapy
"It’s like you’re in the process of climbing up a big mountain that has lots of dangerous places on it. My job is to watch out for you and shout out directions if I can see places you might slip or hurt yourself. But I’m not able to do this because I’m standing at the top of your mountain, looking down at you. If I’m able to help you climb your mountain, it’s because I’m on my own mountain, just across a valley. I don’t have to know anything about exactly what it feels like to climb your mountain to see where you are about to step, and what might be a better path for you to take."
