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?
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My goal in each session is to leave you better than I found you. You might be asked to continue to process subjects that have been discussed and to begin utilizing new coping skills and coping mechanisms to aid in the therapeutic process according to the therapeutic goals created with your input.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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.
