  “I know firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate sexual and relational issues by yourself, and  that is why I am so passionate about helping others navigate these topics – and anything else  you want to talk about. I aim to provide a warm, safe, non-judgmental space for you to be your  full, authentic self (and to discover who that may be). I believe that we heal in community and  in relationships, and one of the most healing connections can be with your therapist. I am so  excited that you are here, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!” – Claire, LCSW
