With the use of therapy or medication I can treat you or your child so that impairments can be identified and the ability to function more easily is achieved.
My training allows me to diagnose and give treatment recommendations based on my assessment which consists of an evaluation gathering personal history, psychosocial and environmental stressors, and symptom review. I can help you understand the diagnosis and determine the cause of the difficulty with the use of medication or psychotherapy.

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.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, bipolar disorder, panic disorders, grief and loss, relationship struggles, identity questions, and stress management. I also support clients exploring men’s issues and LGBTQIA+ experiences, always with an open, affirming, and respectful perspective.
At the heart of my work is a simple goal: helping people reach their highest potential in life. Many of the people I work with want to better understand their past experiences, make sense of their emotions, and begin making meaningful changes. My style is holistic, open-minded, and affirming, and I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel respected and supported.
