A message from Sierra
Feeling loved, accepted, and wanted is as necessary to our well-being as other basic needs. When our relationships feel threatened, and we feel misunderstood, rejected, or not good enough, it can be incredibly painful. As a couples therapist, I work to provide communication tools and strategies to make tough conversations easier and more productive. My goal is to help you to show up in your relationship and flexibly adapt to each other’s needs. My job is to guide you through the murk and minefields of conflicts or hurtful patterns more effectively and show you a clearer, healthier path forward. I want your relationship to heal and strengthen.

Our intensive with Sierra was all I had hoped for. We learned how to talk about hard stuff and stay connected. We learned how to build intimacy through connection. I feel we are back on track for the future. Sierra is highly skilled and has a ton of knowledge. She is also 100% tuned in. I attribute the success of our weekend to her delivery and skill.
