LCSW, 8 years of experience
Hi, I’m Tierra. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults and adolescents (16+) navigating life transitions, trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use concerns. My approach is supportive, direct, and focused on building practical coping skills to create lasting change. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and centered on your goals so you can move toward the life you want.
In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and comfortable space where we’ll focus on getting to know you, your story, and what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask about your goals, challenges, and what’s most important for you right now, while also giving you space to share at your own pace. By the end of our time together, we’ll start to create a plan that feels realistic and tailored to your needs so you know what to expect moving forward.
My greatest strengths are creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood, and offering practical tools they can use right away. I combine empathy with a straightforward, solutions-focused approach that helps clients gain clarity and make meaningful progress. I draw from evidence-based methods while tailoring each session to the unique needs and goals of the person in front of me, making therapy both effective and deeply personal.
I’m best positioned to serve adults and adolescents (16+) who are motivated to make changes but may feel stuck due to depression, anxiety, trauma, or substance use. I work well with clients who want a supportive yet direct therapist to help them build coping skills, improve relationships, and find stability during life transitions. My goal is to help you feel empowered, understood, and equipped to create meaningful change.
This approach helps identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to depression, anxiety and/or mood dysregulation.
I welcome reflective discussion centered around faith and how it relates to current struggles and life challenges. This is solely based on the client's preferences.
This approach focuses on encouraging an individual to articulate their strengths and resources. The primary focus is to identify solutions rather than delving deep into problems, fostering a positive outlook for future goals.
