More about Claudia

- LMFT
I am a first-generation Mexican-American, bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have been providing therapeutic services since 2013. I have extensive experience working across diverse clinical settings, supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families from a wide range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds—both in person and through telehealth.
I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship issues, grief, stress, women’s issues, adolescent concerns, and major life transitions. My therapeutic approach is individualized and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based strategies, and Person-Centered techniques to meet each client where they are.
As a bilingual therapist, I offer services in both English and Spanish. My goal is to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions. I believe it takes courage to seek support and take steps toward change, and I am here to guide, empower, and walk alongside you as you move toward a more meaningful, balanced, and fulfilling life.
If you are ready to begin your healing journey, I would be honored to support you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
