I work with both individuals and couples.
Details Below
My new relationship is a true testimony to the fact that working with Clara was an invaluable experience for me. I could not recommend it more to anyone who has struggled with dating and relationships. With so much terrible dating advice out there, Clara has such a unique and thoughtful approach that is not to be missed.

individuals
Here’s where I meet most women:
They’re pretty far along in their career. Many parts of their life are exactly what they want — except for dating and relationships. (Note: Many women come to me stuck in both career and romance. We simultaneously work on both.)
They’ve usually spent some time in traditional therapy and have some awareness of their “issues,” but they haven’t seen a significant change in their dating and relationship patterns (endless first dates, long periods of being single, constant situation-ships, problematic relationships).
They’ve read the books, they’ve listened to the podcasts, maybe they’ve “optimized” their profiles… but nothing has made a difference.
Over 12 weeks, through a combination of one on one sessions, written work, assigned content, we’ll:
Get to the core of your intimacy patterns and relationship obstacles.
This will give us a crystal clear understanding of your dating and relationship history —basically why things have shake out the way they have and where to go from here.
From there I’ll construct tailored steps (i.e. changes to your everyday behavior, not just in dating) that are specifically designed to foster the relationship you will need to create with yourself in order to move towards the relationship you want with another.
I’ll also work to help you manage all the worries, anxieties and fears around never meeting someone and not having your life look a certain way, along with providing the emotional support needed to move through this type of inner work and healing
Our work is purposeful and nourishing. You won’t be spending hours each week dating (often folks don’t date at all) or touting mantras or finessing your profile.
Please keep in mind, this program and my work, does not guarantee a relationship by the end of our 12 weeks together. Many of my clients have entered long term relationships and gone on to get engaged and married, but the preliminary work I do over the initial three month period is focused on understanding why you’ve struggled in this area of your life, what’s driven those struggles, and what can be done to mitigate and reverse those patterns around relationships in the immediate.
Program Cost: $3,500.00
What happens after?
You’re welcome to extend our work and continue working together, or carry forth with what you’ve surfaced, learned and worked through on your own.
Please note: I will be on maternity leave from 11/15/2024 through 1/15/2024. If you are interested in working with me upon my return, please email me at clara@ithinkilikeyou.co ASAP to express your interest.
COUPLES
Here’s where I often meet couples:
They’re completely lost in the raising of children and spending all their time and energy just managing their life, not actually enjoying any of it.
The first few years were wonderful, amazing, lusty, close.
But then jobs got more intense, kids came into the picture, life became (mostly) about logistics. This isn’t all “bad” per se.
You love your kids, you wanted this family (though some days, you might question that), but suddenly your sense of self and each other, feels totally non-existent.
Resentment runs high.
There’s little to no sex.
Life continues to require more money.
No one’s getting enough alone time.
You’re both tired. You have zero energy by the end of the day for more than a drink and mindless TV show (if that). And you’re likely not doing it together.
The Couples Container
My couples container, run across 10 weeks, is a combination of:
Individual sessions with each partner
Combined sessions
Assigned written work and content that doesn’t feel tedious or boring and actually fills you with relief, clarity and connection. Seriously.
The purpose of our time together is designed to:
Get to the core of the resentment — what’s got your blood boiling? How do you each not feel seen? What’s driving you insane about the other? What do you wish would change?
Take stock of how your needs as individuals have changed
Take stock of how your relationship has changed — and with that, the needs of the relationship
Do the underlying work to understand where the problematic patterns and issues stem from in the relationship, and how to start working with them. This is the deeper childhood stuff you may have surfaced in previous forays into therapy. In my work we fast track bringing them to the surface, understanding exactly how they’re showing up and running the show in the present, so we can start working with them immediately.
We have fun. We laugh. We cry. We curse. We get mad at one another. We let it all out.
Program Cost: $5,250.00
