I’m a Clinical Social Worker and Reiki Master/Teacher with 25+ years of experience committed to helping you explore pathways to attaining balance and well-being.

If traditional talk therapy feels difficult, uncomfortable, or simply isn’t your thing, let’s try a different approach! As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Ciera uses art-making and creative self-expression to help clients explore LGBTQIA+ experiences, neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Ciera believes therapy doesn’t have to look or feel a certain way to be meaningful. They value authenticity, curiosity, and thinking outside the box, creating space for clients to question expectations, explore their identities, and figure out what works for them.

Ciera's approach is warm and collaborative, with room for humor and honesty. You don’t have to show up with everything figured out, and you certainly don’t have to fit yourself into a box to belong in the therapy room. In sessions, you can explore what makes you you and build a life that feels more genuinely your own.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, sad or just overwhelmed with life in general? Are you having negative thoughts that seem to be on repeat? Once you walk into my office you are no longer alone with your thoughts and feelings. Together we will get you back on track and feeling your absolute best. I create a safe, caring non-judgemental space for you to explore and talk about what you are feeling and then together we remove your personal obstacles and improve your overall well being.

I’m glad you’re here! It’s a brave step to reach out. It is my hope that you feel welcomed by me, no matter where you may be in your life. It may feel scary or intimidating to begin therapy. My top priority is making it a comfortable, trusting, and safe experience for you. I treat overwhelmed and overburdened mothers, women of all ages, and young adults.
