Do you feel like you’re wearing a mask to fit in, but deep down, you’re yearning to express your true self, all while battling anxiety, depression, ADHD, or issues in your relationships?
You always wanted life to be fulfilling and joyful, where you would confidently navigate challenges and embrace your individuality. You knew you’d face obstacles and setbacks but saw yourself as someone who could overcome them and find true connection within yourself and with others. When you look at your life today, you feel disconnected and frustrated. You’re struggling to trust yourself and take bold steps forward, and on your worst days, it seems like you’ll never be able to feel good about who you are or find real happiness.
Well, I am here to tell you that you’re not alone. Your anxiety, attachment wounds, and self-doubt do not have to mean that you are broken or incapable of change. We all have a life story to share and unpack. The more we can learn to accept things as they are and learn from the past, the more confident and authentic we can become.
Hi, I’m Clara and there’s one thing I know for sure…
You are capable of discovering your true self and living authentically. Sometimes, past experiences and challenges cause you to feel stuck or unsure. And it often feels like this confusion and frustration will never get better. When this happens, you can start to feel even more disconnected. This doesn’t mean you can’t rediscover your sense of peace– it simply means you need to give yourself the compassion and space to heal to see clarity and confidence. Often, when you’ve been uncertain or anxious for so long, it can feel like there is no way out. Soon, you’re left wondering if you will ever achieve a sense of true self-worth.
But the truth is embracing yourself fully is really hard. And it’s normal to question and doubt yourself along the way. Even though you feel overwhelmed now, it doesn’t have to keep you from creating a life of purpose and connection. Instead, you can do the inner work of self-reflection and healing and achieve emotional balance and authenticity.

Where and when can I schedule my first session?
My office is conveniently located at 21031 Ventura Blvd Suite #316, Woodland Hills, CA 91364. I also offer tele-therapy to residents of California. I also serve Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Tarzana, Encino, and the surrounding communities.
What does therapy for individual or couple sessions cost?
Therapy for Individual or Couple is a fee-for-service program, and I accept all major forms of payment. Please visit the Payment and Insurance Page for my session fees under Getting Started. Due to my desire to ensure you maintain maximum privacy and provide you with the highest level of care possible without constraints from managed care, I am an out-of-network provider for all insurance panels; therefore, I am not affiliated with any insurance panel. Many PPO plans may reimburse you in full or in part for my services. Unfortunately, HMO, Medi-Cal, and Medicare insurance do not reimburse you as they require that you see someone on their panel.
