Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Tucker, GA

I'm Claire. I welcome the exploration of spirituality, faith, personal beliefs, purpose, and the search for meaning as part of the therapeutic process. For many people, healing involves more than reducing symptoms; it can also involve reconnecting with a sense of purpose, discovering what feels meaningful, exploring existential questions, and developing a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you. Spirituality is incorporated in a way that honors your individual beliefs, values, and worldview.

I have a special interest in supporting service members, veterans, and their families as they navigate the unique challenges of military life, deployment, transition, trauma, PTSD symptoms, identity changes, relationship difficulties, and the process of reconnecting with themselves and the people they love.

Therapy can be a space to explore deeper questions: Why do I keep repeating the same patterns? Who am I outside of my roles and responsibilities? What do I want my life to mean? What are my strengths, and how can I use them to build a more fulfilling life? How can I move beyond simply surviving? I would love to explore of these with you.

I am a Jacksonville native and received my undergraduate degree from the University of North Florida and my graduate degree from Florida State University.

My curiosity about substance abuse and family systems sparked my interest in this field, leading me to study substance abuse counseling, which eventually deepened my passion for psychology.

Over the years, I’ve worked in Connecticut alongside DCF and the court systems. Since starting as a case manager in 1995, I’ve continued to grow and gain valuable experience in this ever-evolving field of psychology.

Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I serve the adult and geriatric population. I am a proud graduate of both the University of Georgia Graduate School and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

I want my clients to know that I value creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own or putting others first. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable enough to show up honestly and be themselves without pressure or shame.

A large part of my experience involves working with trauma survivors and individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. I approach this work with compassion, patience, and understanding, and I believe healing happens through feeling supported, heard, and empowered.

Greetings!
