Great to meet you!

There is nothing quite like trying to heal in a space that was not built with you in mind. If you have been carrying trauma, grief, or the weight of navigating your racial, cultural, or LGBTQIA+ identity, you deserve to feel truly seen. I am Sierra, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years in mental health. I work with children ages 9 and up, adolescents, adults, and seniors who are ready to show up for themselves. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive: we honor your background, respect your pacing, and work together toward healing, rebuilding self-worth, and navigating life transitions with confidence. My door is open.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, holistic, and deeply grounded in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. I believe that healing happens when you feel truly seen, safe, and valued in your fullness. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor our sessions to your unique life experiences that honor your background, and respect your pacing. Together, we will look at how your past experiences, systemic environments, and cultural identity shape your present reality. By focusing on your inherent strengths, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to help you heal from trauma, process grief, rebuild self-worth, and confidently navigate life transitions.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is yours to use however feels right. We will talk about what brought you here, what you are hoping for, and what you have tried before. There is no script and no pressure to arrive with everything figured out. From there, we move at your pace. Some sessions focus on building skills to manage what is overwhelming right now. Others go deeper into the experiences and patterns underneath. What stays constant is a space that is judgment-free, trauma informed, and genuinely yours.
