Clara was born and raised in Houston, TX. From there she went to Baylor University (Sic ‘Em Bears!) where she earned a Bachelor of Family and Consumer Sciences degree with a concentration in child and family studies. After graduating from Baylor, Clara moved to Dallas, TX to attend Dallas Baptist University where she graduated with a Master’s degree in counseling.

Clara’s passion for counseling began during her freshman year of college where she discovered the value and importance of people needing someone to walk alongside them in the midst of difficult circumstances. Clara’s clinical training and experience ranges from treating individuals with depression, anxiety, family of origin issues, trauma, life transitions, financial instability, and relationship conflict. Clara prioritizes creating a safe and welcoming environment in session and strives to meet individuals with empathy and warmth. She values a collaborative approach with therapy, believing that collaboration helps to instill clients with healthy coping skills, confidence, and support. Her goal is always for clients to become a better and more resilient version of themselves.

Outside of the office, Clara enjoys a game night with friends or spending time outdoors with her husband, Jonathan. She loves reading, running, cooking, and traveling with Jonathan when she can!
