Hi, I’m Claire - and I’m so happy you’re here.
I have always been passionate about helping people find the most fulfillment, contentment, and pleasure out of their lives. I also know that reaching out for support - especially from a therapist - can be incredibly daunting. I strive to create a welcoming, non-judgmental, affirming therapeutic space where you can feel comfortable speaking whatever is on your heart and mind - and I fully embrace utilizing humor and cursing to do so. Therapy isn’t always easy, but it should feel like a space where you are listened to, cared for, and respected; in my office, this is my standard.
As a Queer, Jewish, polyamorous woman, community has always been at the heart of my world. I carry the lived experience of these intersecting identities into my work, supporting clients as they move through their own unique journeys.
I believe that life is built on relationships and connection to others, and I want to help you navigate all of the complexities that this offers - because I have been (and continue to be) there, too.
​
I am available to meet virtually or in person for therapy sessions in San Francisco and Oakland. One of the most powerful connections we can form is with our therapists, and I am honored to be able to witness the totality of the courage, strength, pain, and complexity that each person brings into my office. If I sound like someone you'd like to work with, please feel free to reach out for your free 20 minute consultation.

I approach my practice from a social justice, anti-racist lens. It is imperative for me to personally and professionally continue to investigate my own privilege, across all areas of my life.
