all about sierra
Hi, I’m Sierra. I became a therapist because I wanted to honor the whole person—not just the symptoms that bring someone to therapy. I see symptoms as an invitation to turn inward with curiosity and tend more deeply to our inner world. I’m a mindfulness-based somatic therapist with a passion for supporting women through the perinatal and postpartum seasons of life.
I took a winding path to becoming a therapist, with roots in cooking, acting, art, yoga, and meditation. All of these have shaped the way I understand creativity, connection, and what it means to be human.
I see growth as an upward spiral: we may return to familiar places, but each time with the possibility of meeting ourselves differently.
how I work
It takes courage to seek care, and I’m glad you’re here. Therapy is a place where we can slow down together and tend to what is here. I have deep care for your pain, your joy, and the whole of your experience. You don’t have to turn toward the hard things alone.
I offer a warm, trauma-informed therapy weaving together mindfulness, somatic awareness, and parts work (IFS). I’ll walk alongside you holding a flashlight as we make contact with what is asking for your attention. Together, we’ll work toward greater capacity, resilience, self-trust, and a sense of home within yourself.
This work can be hard and tender, but we will make room for humor, levity, and joy. It is a privilege to be trusted with your inner world and to meet all of who you are.
If you are a mother, especially a new mother, I see you. Motherhood can profoundly shift your body, identity, and nervous system. Whether you need support, tools to regulate, or space to process and tell your story, this is a place to tend to both the visible and invisible parts of motherhood.

What inspired me to become a therapist
On a walk to the playground with my daughter and husband, eating a delicious chocolate chip cookie, reading a British detective novel
When I’m not in the therapist chair, you can probably find me:
Yoga, meditation, a run in the sun
Three things that keep me grounded:
I cook with daughter and when I take a big inhale in nature
I feel awe when:
Introvert
Introvert or Extravert?
