MEET CLARA
 
My name is Clara and my pronouns are she/her/hers.  I am a Registered Social Worker and a Registered Clinical Counsellor with 14 years of experience providing therapy.  By nature, I am calming, gentle, and patient.  I also offer a safe, non-judgmental space for people of all backgrounds and experiences, and am LGBTQIA2S+ affirming.
 
APPROACH AND FORMS OF THERAPY PROVIDED 
 
I am certified in EMDR Therapy, which primarily helps with a wide range of traumatic experiences and trauma-related struggles.  I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for depression, anxiety, and other challenges around how we think, feel, and act, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy for people requiring support around tolerating distress, emotional regulation, and effective communication.  I also offer couples counselling through Emotion Focussed Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy.  In addition, I have a wide range of other tools and strategies which I've developed over the length of my career.  As a social worker I undertand and work with many difficult life experiences, such as discrimination and oppression, complex family relationships, life transitions, grief, disability, sexuality, and caregiving.  I can offer support around the MAiD process and work with first responders.  I can also help transgender, non-binary, and other people seeking gender-affirming care.
 
TREATING TRAUMA
 
Experiences of trauma I can treat or improve with EMDR include childhood trauma; sexual abuse or assault; motor vehicle accidents; traumatic loss; PTSD/CPTSD; when something has happened and you just can't "get over it;" core beliefs; and panic disorder or OCD caused by trauma.  If something feels traumatic, no matter how big or small it may seem, then I believe it is trauma and we can look to address it.
 
BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH CLARA 
  • I have many years of experience and I have helped a diverse group of people successfully address their challenges. 
  • I have training and strong skill in multiple forms of therapy and therapeutic approaches.
  • People leave my office with new insights, new-found hope, a treatment plan, and very tangible strategies they can start doing right away.  
  • I am extremely passionate about my work and love what I do.  It is a true honour to help others.
  • I appreciate and celebrate people for who they are and the communities they identify with.  This includes frequent work with clients who are transgender, non-binary, gay, or lesbian, or who otherwise identify as queer.   
  • Many clients report that seeing me helps them feel lighter, that they feel active in their own journey to well-being, and that I have a gentle, calming, and respectful presence.
  • Having worked in community mental health I have a background in treating mental illness, understanding medications, and more.  I can also refer to other programs and services in the community as necessary.

 REACHING OUT & VIRTUAL VERSUS IN-OFFICE COUNSELLING
 If you are struggling, please reach out for a free phone or virtual consult to see if we are a fit.  I offer virtual and in-person therapy in Burnaby, BC.  I find virtual therapy to be highly effective if you are unable to come in person.
