Remember when you weren’t tired of being tired?

Wishing you could figure out the tools to achieve more balance in your life and ready to fall in love again?

Hey! I’m Claudia (she/her) and I work with people-pleasing adults and professionals who struggle with creating boundaries and putting themselves first in relationships and couples looking to rewrite their love story!

Before we go any further, I want you to get rid of the negative things you’ve been told that have made you believe “Something’s wrong with me.”

There’s nothing wrong with you!  

Whether we’re virtual or in-person, I encourage you to come as you are. If you’re looking for a clinical therapist who will use big words, it’s not me. We are going to have real conversations that include laughter and the use of common language! My goal is to focus on helping you accomplish your goals while getting rid of that negative inner dialogue you’ve had for too long.

You’re used to doing things on your own, but you don’t have to!

In our sessions together, you can expect

✓ To uncover the negative patterns that have taken over

✓ Work towards that balance you’ve always wanted

✓ Feel like you can handle your day to day stresses with ease

I’m committed to helping you know your worth and put yourself first.

Through my own experience of putting everyone’s needs before my own, I realized I couldn’t keep this up forever. I remember feeling overwhelmed and tired of being told to “take a deep breath.” 😒 Stress and anxiety had become part of my daily life, and I had to make the changes to avoid burn-out.

In my relationships, I got tired of feeling like the only one making an effort. I wanted someone that could match the love I was ready to give so I went on a journey and learned how to ask for what I wanted.

Therapy isn’t a one size fits all, so we will focus on your goals and make sure we’ve drawn the map to your success together. You’ve put yourself on the back burner long enough.

A little about me:

Three dogs wearing scarfs. Dog mom.
New Girl GIF. Love food.

I’m a dog mom and I typically have fur on my clothes! Meet Bailey, Bella and Blu!

My favorite past-time is finding the newest hole in the wall because Orlando has the greatest food scene! (And New Girl is one of favorite shows)

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Will Smith dancing. 90's baby. 90's therapist.

I’m obsessed with everything 90’s. I’ve seen ‘Fresh Prince’ multiple times and if you scroll through my playlist, you’ll find anything from Backstreet Boys, Ace of Base and Soul for Real.
