About Clare
Hi, I’m Clare, a mom and therapist in Lafayette, CO working with women through life whether that’s becoming a mom, trauma, or anxiety that leaves you wondering “what is happening to me?” My passion for this work is deeply personal, as someone who has struggled with anxiety and OCD for most of my life, I know how heavy and scary your internal world can be. When I became a mother, I was hit with so many questions and emotions and frustrations with how women are treated but also expected to be through one of the wildest experiences someone can go through. This solidified my passion, that I was going to support women make sense of what is happening on the inside so they can feel grounded on the outside.
I bring a real and raw energy to life and to my clients. When I ask how you are doing, I want how you are actually doing. Society already provides us a long list of how we are “supposed” to be, so with me we are going to be ourselves, whoever that may be. Therapy with me is a place to kick off your shoes, to cry, to swear a little (or a lot), to laugh, and fully embrace our humanness and take up space.
As you evolve, my approach evolves with you. I have supported women through different traumatic experiences using EMDR and IFS. I have helped women face their fears using ERP with their intrusive thoughts. I support separation from your thoughts and who you really are with ACT.
All identities, backgrounds, and experiences are welcome here - you deserve care exactly as you are.
