As a counselor, Clara utilizes a Humanistic approach demonstrating empathy, genuineness, and acceptance and she focuses on developing a strong therapeutic relationship to help clients meet their goals in counseling.

Clara has overcome a lot of obstacles in life and truly enjoys helping others. She enjoys helping others find hidden pieces about themselves, exploring them, and putting those pieces together to become whole. She believes every client is on a different journey and has different goals they are wishing to accomplish. You do not have to do this alone.

Clara recognizes that in some cultures, seeking counseling could be considered a weakness. However, she believes it is more a strength because it shows a willingness to overcome.

When not working, Clara enjoys riding her bicycle, watching a good movie, bowling, spending time with family and friends, and being productive.
