I'm Clara
I work with Couples and Individuals
My Specialization lies in relational therapy, a clinical approach emphasizing that psychic structure arises from the individual's relationships with others.
I am a trauma-trained, culturally aware and sensitive clinician. My work is grounded in a strength-based, psychodynamic clinical approach, integrating Internal Family Systems, attachment theory, and body-centred therapy, that explores how unconscious factors affect current relationships, thought patterns, emotions, and behaviours.
In sessions, the focus is on helping couples and individuals explore and understand the tensions within their relationships as part of their broader journey toward psychological wholeness.
*I offer services in English and Spanish.
*Remote-Virtual and In-person sessions.
