Let’s start your journey toward a life that feels lighter
Healing is often uncomfortable. No one likes feeling exposed or overwhelmed, but together, we can pull those heavy emotions out from under that 'everything is fine' umbrella and look at them for what they really are. I’m Sierra, and I believe therapy isn't just about managing symptoms; it’s about a collaborative partnership to help you grow, heal, and finally feel like yourself again. My approach is non-judgmental, direct, and deeply compassionate. Whether you’re navigating the weight of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or the complexities of grief and trauma, I meet you exactly where you are.

I utilize an insight-driven approach with individuals, couples, and families going through major and minor life transitions including career changes, educational pursuits, relationship issues, grief and loss, living with medical diagnoses, and retirement.
Many people desire a deeper understanding of their emotional lives. Often, childhood patterns can hinder our progress towards greater fulfillment and sense of purpose. We seek to understand our inner lives and gain deeper connections with others. As we search for greater meaning and belonging, we might get stuck in old feelings and fears that prevent us from moving forward. It is important to have a counselor to accompany each of us during the times of deep transition and change.

Described as a mix of coaching and therapy, I ask thoughtful questions, challenge patterns, and help you create meaningful change.
You're successful on paper but something still feels off. You’re driven and know how to "do the work," yet there’s a part of you that feels stuck, anxious, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed. Whether you're navigating a career pivot, reevaluating your relationship with alcohol, marijuana or food, or struggling with intimacy and connection, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I specialize in working with those who are ready for meaningful change. Many of my clients grew up in “good” families-where needs were met, but emotional connection was lacking. That early dynamic often leads to feeling disconnected from yourself or others.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why things that “should” be helping don’t seem to be working. Maybe you’re functioning on the outside but feel disconnected, anxious, or exhausted underneath. I work with individuals and couples who want to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and find a way forward that feels grounded and authentic, not forced.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
