Intern
Hello, my name is Sierra! Mental health has been an interest of mine since I took my first course in Psychology in high school. I love helping others and supporting them in living a more fulfilling life. I love using humor to make others laugh and enjoy meeting new people. I enjoy reading fantasy novels, spending time with my corgi and friends, and listening to podcasts.
Sierra's Approach
I utilize a multicultural eclectic approach that uses person-centered therapy as a foundation. Everyone has different wants and needs and I believe in tailoring an approach to each individual so we can work together to meet your goals and promote wellness. I utilize interventions such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solutions Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.
