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.

There are several things in my life which drive me to be a counselor. My own past with it struggles, acceptances, failures, and successes drive me to do what I do. I am able to sit in dark places, empathize with struggle and loneliness, and challenge ways of thinking and behaving from a non-judgmental place. I love the unique position a counselor has to problem solve through the failures, walk the uphill road to recovery, and celebrate the success and growth that comes out of the journey.

You’ve survived deep wounds: abuse that has shaped how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world. Maybe you struggle with overwhelming emotions, dissociation, panic, or feeling disconnected from your body & identity. You might find yourself in unhealthy relationships, battling self-doubt, or feeling like healing is out of reach. But trauma does not define you. I specialize in supporting survivors of sexual, physical, & emotional abuse reclaim their sense of self using EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, and a relational, psychodynamic approach. With nearly a decade of experience, I am here to affirm that healing is possible.

My approach to therapy is highly relational, as I want to build trust and connection with my clients because I believe that you are more than just the problem(s) that you walk into therapy with. Our lives are lived surrounded by people and learning how to navigate the relationships with ourselves and others makes this life a bit easier. I desire to challenge my clients into places that aid their growth. Life is messy and broken at times, I am seeking clients that know this and have the resolve within them to not let that stop them from pursuing a greater life for themselves in the future.

The biggest reason many don't seek counseling is the fear of reliving the past. Forward facing trauma therapy proves you don't always have to go back to move forward. There is a different way. There is a better way. We start with the symptoms of the present. Then look at how trauma affects the brain and changes how we, think, feel, and behave here in the present. Learning how to fix and reset the brain while decreasing symptoms is our goal at Sessions of Serenity. Done at your pace, in a way that helps restore safety, creates calm and empowers the client. Your past does not have to continue robbing you of your future.

As a recent graduate, I am coming into therapy with experience of 5 years working with individuals that struggle with addiction, mental health concerns, life transitions, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, and relationship difficulties. Sometimes , a person simply wants to understand why they feel the way they do, and learn how to feel safer in their body, relationships, and daily life while building a stronger sense of identity and direction. Healing is not linear, sometimes even painful but it can happen in a safe environment and with the right support.

We live in a world that can feel overwhelming, confusing, and is constantly demanding our attention. In a research study conducted a few years ago, scientists estimated that the average human processes as much as 74 gigabytes (GB) of information daily. That equates to watching roughly 16 movies in one day or reading 500,000 words. The increase of information that we receive and process on a daily basis inevitably has a major impact on the way we conduct our lives. With the hyperstimulation and conflicting messages that people experience daily, it’s no wonder so many of us feel confused, directionless, hopeless, or anxious.

Psychosis Therapists
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.

When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.

What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.

How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
