LMFT, 6 years of experience
Hello! My name is Sierriena (Serena-like the tennis player). Do you feel like something is not right, do you feel overwhelmed, stuck or even lost, or unsure of what to do? I can help and support you. You do not have to suffer alone…there is help. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I specialize in systemic therapy. I create a comfortable therapeutic environment to discuss, process and your presenting concerns. I allow you to take the lead as I fully support you as we navigate the therapeutic journey together. I am a dedicated and purpose-driven therapist motivated to support clients to reveal the hope within themselves to discover their authentic selves and overcome their identified challenges. I entered into this profession to support people in living better, more fulfilling, healthier, and fuller lives by establishing and fulfilling their personal and professional goals. I firmly believe that despite life’s challenges and obstacles, we can improve ourselves and learn to live our absolute best lives. At times, life presents us with obstacles that hinder us from achieving and sustaining true happiness in our lives and I believe that everyone deserves to create happiness, have healthy relationships and supportive relationships, and most importantly self-love. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and the LGBTQ population. How can I support you?
During the first session, we will discuss the reason that you have decided to come to therapy. I will begin to build a therapeutic rapport and connection. We will get to know one another as I learn more about you as a person, your mental health history, your presenting concerns for therapy, and your best hopes of what you would like to gain from therapy. I will ask about your family, your childhood, how you "see" yourself, your support system, any history of trauma or substance abuse. Typically at the end, I will have you to identify two goals that you would like to work towards during your therapy journey.
Marriage and Family Therapist therapeutic models are based on systemic theories. Meaning that as your therapist, I will work with the identified client, however, we will process the system of people that influence you, and contribute to the person that you have become. I use Solution Focused Therapy, Bowen, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, MRI, mindfulness and Gottman Theory to name a few.
I feel like my strengths are in working with men, women and children with anxiety, depression, parenting issues, and couples with relationship challenges. I have assisted clients with work stressors, life stressors, family challenges, interpersonal clarity and boundaries to highlight a few of my successes.
My ideal client is someone ready to "their" work. I always say, that what you put into therapy is what you get from therapy.

Sierriena is phenomenal at making you feel comfortable opening up from the very first session. She is both direct and compassionate all at once. The homework is impactful and relevant. I truly enjoyed our session!

Ms Sierriena is truly an excellent therapist. She is compassionate, open-minded, and completely non-judgmental. From the very first session, she created a safe and supportive space where I could be completely honest. What really sets her apart is her ability to get to the root cause of what you're going through, rather than just focusing on surface level issues. She's incredibly solution-oriented and gives practical tools that make a real difference. I'm so grateful I've found her!!!
