Meet Sierra!

Sierra is currently accepting new clients and accepts most insurance. Go to the link in our bio to request an appointment.

Sierra has availability Monday-Friday, both in person and virtually.

Sierra works with individuals and families of all ages. She loves working with former athletes, individuals who are interested in healing through both mind and body, and is particularly passionate about serving the Black community.

Here is a little bit about Sierra:

“As a black woman and therapist, I bring a grounded and deeply compassionate presence to my work, drawing on my spiritual beliefs and lived experience to create space for healing, truth-telling, and restoration. I am particularly passionate about supporting members of the Black community through their lifespan.

As a collegiate basketball player, I learned lessons and developed skills that have been valuable in various aspects of my life. Through basketball, I learned the value of teamwork, resilience, patience, and a strong work ethic. As a point guard, I also developed skills in collaborative leadership. When facing challenges such as injuries, performance related self doubt, and mental, physical, and emotional fatigue, I can to understand the importance of seeking support, reassessing personal expectations, and practicing self compassions - insights that were essential in my growth as a student-athlete and now inform my work as a therapist.

I offer an integrative approach to therapy that centers each client’s story and the systems that shape it. I use CBT, Somatic techniques, Psychodynamic theory, and Intersectionality in my work with my clients. I support individuals in building a foundation for wellness through everyday practices that promote balance in their lives.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, racialized stress, questions of identity for a more profound desire for connection and meaning, I partner with you to co-create a space of trust, acceptance, and care. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds and am committed to supporting clients in reclaiming their best selves.”

Every 40 seconds, someone in the world dies by su***de. Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, let’s break the stigma, talk openly about mental health, and remind each other that it’s okay to ask for help. Together, we can create a world where fewer people struggle in silence 💛

Heartbreaking news of a local school shooting in Minneapolis this morning.

Children SHOULD feel safe at school. Parents SHOULD be able to feel safe sending their children to school.

This SHOULD NOT be normal.

Therapy is for everyone 👏 Take care of your mental health just like you would your physical health!

Check out this excellent supervision opportunity!

Join Our Transformative Post-Graduate Extended Training Cohort!

Our upcoming post-graduate extended training cohort offers a powerful opportunity to expand your skills and perspective through a rich, integrated curriculum.

This immersive experience focuses on self-of-the-therapist work, inviting participants to explore their identities, values, and lived experiences as essential tools in the therapeutic process. Through a lens of cultural awareness and responsiveness, we’ll examine how power, privilege, and systemic oppression shape both our clients’ realities and our clinical work.

Participants will also engage in a deeper dive into key schools of family therapy, sharpening theoretical understanding and practical application. Together, we’ll explore how to ethically and effectively navigate the larger systems that impact our clients—and ourselves.

This cohort is more than supervision—it’s a space for reflection, connection, and transformation. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of systemic therapy or understand how to use self as a clinical tool, we invite you to join us on this journey of growth.
