About me

Life can be challenging! Taking a step out of one's comfort zone to ask for help is never easy. I would love to help you asses your current situation. Together, we can then work at making changes that are positive in the present, as well as setting goals and taking action for your future. As a Licensed Clinical Social worker and Professional School Counselor in Texas, I have supported many individuals on their journey. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults and families who are struggling with low self esteem, anxiety, parenting problems, grief or depression.
During my 19 years as a school counselor, with most of those years in Middle School, I have helped many teens and their parents navigate part of the rocky road to adulthood. I love working with this age group!

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My style combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and reality therapy, utilizing a strength based, solution focused approach.

I look forward to working with you!

Claudia is one, if not the best, human I know. I don't say that lightly. She is beyond incredible at the work she does. It takes someone special and she is that person. I cannot possibly express how much she's understood me, helped me drag myself out of a dark place, and become the most amazing mentor and cheerleader for my health. She is the person you're looking for.

Written on Feb 22, 2022 after therapy with Claudia for 3 months on issues concerning family conflicts, and compassion fatigue

Although I have only been working with Claudia for a few months, I have enjoyed my time with her immensely. Claudia is a warm and empathic counselor who manages to make her sessions comfortable and casual, while maintaining professional boundaries. I appreciate her sincerity and lack of judgement, as well as her years of continuing training and expertise in her field. I look forward to her sessions as I would for a conversation with a trusted colleague. I feel that she has helped me build confidence and appreciates my open-minded and self directed approach to therapy. She has taught me many valuable skills that I will use in my foundation as I continue to grow.
