Depth-Oriented Therapist for Anxiety, Burnout, Parenthood & Life Transitions
Hi, I'm Claudia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering individual therapy to adults in NYC. Many of my clients arrive exhausted, carrying stress, grief, or trauma they've been quietly managing for a long time, and wondering if things can actually feel different. We approach that question honestly, and with real hope.
The first thing I prioritize in therapy is building real connection. We need something genuine between us before we can do the harder work, and hard doesn't mean gritting your teeth. It means staying curious, getting creative, and being willing to sit with things that are difficult to face. Many of my clients are used to pushing through, which is often exactly what's led them here. Building that kind of relationship starts with slowing down and getting honest about what's underneath everything you're managing.
My approach is relational and trauma-informed, shaped around your specific goals, and draws on several frameworks, including:
- Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Narrative Therapy
- Attachment-based Relational Therapy
- Somatic and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Therapy for New Yorkers Who Feel Like They're Holding It All Together
Anxiety, burnout, parenthood, life transitions. These moments ask a lot of us. Therapy is where we make sense of what you're carrying, and find a way through that feels like you, not just a version of you that's coping.
Anxiety
Anxiety can look like racing thoughts, a body that won't settle, or a constant sense that something's about to go wrong, even when things are technically fine. In our work together, we'll get curious about what your anxiety is trying to protect you from, and build a relationship with it that feels less like a battle and more like understanding.

Burnout isn't just being tired, it's the exhaustion that comes from giving so much of yourself for so long that you've lost track of what you actually want. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, take stock, and reconnect with your own needs, so that rest and boundaries stop feeling like something you have to earn.

Becoming a parent, or being one, can bring up questions about identity, relationships, and who you are outside of caring for everyone else. We'll make room for the full complexity of parenthood: the love and the loss, the joy and the grief, and everything in between.

Whether it's a breakup, a career change, a loss, or simply a season of life that no longer fits, transitions ask us to let go of who we were while we're still figuring out who we're becoming. Therapy with me offers steady support as you move through that in-between space, with room to grieve what's changing and openness about what's next.
