Hey yall. I am Ciera and I love all things mental health. It is truly a blessing to do what I love everyday however I am more than a therapist. I am a woman of substance who has overcome a lot of trial and tribulations and made the choice to own my story and I help others do the same.  I am a lover of sneakers, makeup, and trying new recipes. As a mom of two I understand what it is like to try to understand how to balance, but I also know that it is important to prioritize me everyday so that everyone else around me always gets my best.  

My own personal healing journey inspired me to become a therapist. Dealing with all the things that life brings was hard but getting to the other side and being able to understand how to manage it was life changing for me and I wanted to help others do the same. I am motivated by the lives Ive help to changed, and the ones that I will help change in the future. 

Being hesitant to try therapy is a normal. Trying anything new for the first time can be scary however sometimes we have to push past our fears. Know that working with me is a vibe. You get someone who not only has a professional experience but also has life experiences that help you get to where you want to be in life. 

I am not your typical therapists, but more so like your Mental health homegirl. Really relatable, transparent and authentic. I want to be a part of your village that you need to navigate through whatever it is that you are facing in life. 

Grief looks different for everyone. Many people think grief is only relative to physical death however it is not. You can grieve losing a job, a relationships, parts of your life, etc. We work together to understand the cause of grief and navigate how to deal with it moving forward. Most of at the time grief never leaves however you learn how to manage it better. 

Relationship issues are common and at the root is communication. Everyone comes from different backgrounds, are raised differently, and value different things. When working with me one relationships issues, we make sure to explore all of that and how it impacts the relationship while learning how to effectively communicate your needs and expectations within your relationships, whether they are intimate, with friends, and/or family.
