Claire is a Registered Psychologist who offers a warm, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel seen and supported. She believes therapy can help people move toward a life that feels more aligned with their values and the future they want to build.

Claire works with teens, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and burnout, perfectionism, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and challenges with self-worth or connection. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, she helps clients better understand themselves, build healthier relationships, and create new patterns that support the life they want to live.

Claire believes that many of our behaviours are adaptive and protective responses shaped by our experiences, and that greater self-understanding can create opportunities for healing, growth, and meaningful change.

Mental Health Concerns

Claire works with clients experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, perfectionism, low self-esteem, low self-worth, emotional burnout, and relationship difficulties. She understands that these struggles often exist alongside deeper patterns that can leave people feeling stuck, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, caught in cycles of people-pleasing or codependency, or struggling to create the relationships and emotional intimacy they desire.

Claire's goal is to help clients feel less alone, unburden what they have been carrying, and create space for healing, self-understanding, and hope. Whether someone is navigating low motivation, hopelessness, self-doubt, or longstanding relationship patterns, she believes therapy can provide an opportunity to better understand themselves and move toward meaningful and lasting change.

Counselling Approaches

Claire primarily draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These approaches can help you better understand your emotions, strengthen relationships, build coping skills, and develop self-compassion. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I pay close attention to your individuality — your pace, your needs, and your therapeutic goals — to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered in your healing journey.

More About Claire

Outside of therapy, I value connection, kindness, and slowing down enough to be present with the people and moments that matter most. I enjoy spending time outdoors — whether that’s walking by the river, exploring the mountains, or getting fresh air to reconnect with myself. I also value being a lifelong learner and believe there is always room for growth, reflection, and deeper understanding. I hope to help clients build greater self-trust and feel more connected to themselves along the way.
