About Cierra
She brings 13 years of counseling experience and a background that includes work in behavioral health settings and private practice. Cierra trained and gained early clinical experience while attending undergraduate and graduate school in Tennessee. She also holds national credentialing and is working toward additional supervisory qualifications while enrolled in a doctoral program.
In sessions she blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools. That means she pays attention to each person's story, and then helps identify thoughts, habits, and small steps that can change how someone feels and acts. She also uses mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions.
Cierra has experience with trauma, substance use, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression, and a range of relationship and behavioral issues. She supports people coping with grief, career stress, sleep and eating struggles, and obsessive or process-related behaviors.
Outside work she enjoys outdoor activities and trying new restaurants, and she brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to the therapy room.
