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 that explores how unconscious factors affect current relationships, thought patterns, emotions, and behaviours. In our sessions, I focus 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.
