Trauma Recovery, Disordered Eating, Young Adults, & College Students
Dear Young Adult,
You’ve been through more than your share of challenges, and navigating the complexities of young adulthood or college life can often feel overwhelming. Perhaps you’ve felt the weight of unresolved trauma or the pressure of balancing multiple demands—leaving you feeling drained, disconnected, and unsure of where to turn for support.
You long for stability and the ability to thrive, but healing and growth might feel like distant goals. You may wonder if it’s even possible to gain control over your emotions, your life, and your future.
The truth is, recovery is not only possible, it is within your reach. Together, we can uncover the strength and resilience inside of you, building new coping skills and strategies that allow you to face the challenges ahead with confidence.
Through support, practical tools, and a focus on your individual journey, you can learn to navigate your trauma and develop the skills needed to thrive—on your own terms. You are capable of feeling empowered, finding peace, and building the life you desire.
I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your unique experiences and explore how we can work together to create a healing plan that’s right for you.
Take the first step toward transformation. What do you have to lose?
-Claire

Claire’s Approach:
Claire received her MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Claire uses a person-centered approach to counseling and focuses on creating a genuine connection with clients, understanding their unique life experiences, and being a companion on their path to healing and finding peace. She believes that with adequate support, all people have the capacity to grow and become more fully themselves.
