I am deeply dedicated to providing the individualized attention necessary for each of my clients to build a more fulfilling life. I prioritize my client’s unique perspective and desires when collaborating on a treatment plan. This is achieved by providing a confidential place in which clients are met with authenticity, kindness, respect, acceptance, and a bit of humor. Life can be crazy and heavy at times; sometimes we just have to laugh.

I see incredible strength in my clients who are willing to step out of their comfort zone in pursuit of a more fulfilling life. With this in mind, I am always researching, reading, or attending trainings in order to provide the best service possible to meet my client’s needs. I utilize various empirically supported treatment interventions to support my client’s individualized treatment plan. I truly believe that everyone is able to create a life they are proud of.

I am a Certified Counselor (NCC) by NBCC and am EMDR trained with advanced training in Group EMDR, Recent Event EMDR, Suicide Bereavement Specialist, Complex Trauma, Sexual Abuse, FLASH, as well as an integrated approach of Internal Family Systems (IFS) with EMDR.

Welcome! I created Torch and Key Counseling to offer a safe, grounded space where healing happens entirely at your pace. It operates as a private-pay practice outside of corporate insurance panels, and offers a flexible sliding scale fee structure ($50–$150) alongside free 15-minute consultations to help ensure thoughtful, highly personalized support that fits your real-world needs. Life is hard enough, therapy shouldn’t make it harder.

Whether you are carrying the heavy weight of complex trauma (C-PTSD), moving through profound grief, or wrestling with deep existential questions about identity, purpose, and substance use, you do not have to navigate it alone. I frequently support clients who rely on perfectionism, hyper-vigilance, emotional numbing, or intense hyper-independence just to get through the day. I approach these struggles not as personal flaws, but as deeply understandable survival strategies you developed to protect yourself in tough environments.

My approach as a counselor is rooted in a warm, liberation-focused, and decolonial framework, my practice works toward depathologizing your struggle and honoring your story. Our work together will draw on holistic and evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, somatic bodywork, and nature-based existential reflection to help settle your nervous system, process past pain, and rebuild an authentic, meaningful connection with yourself. Please reach out today with questions or to book a free consultation to check the vibe.

Hi, I’m Sierra. I’m glad you’re here. I work with teens and adults who want a supportive space to slow down, feel understood, and navigate anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions with more clarity and confidence.

My approach is warm, relational, and grounded. I use gentle curiosity, humor when it fits, and a person-centered style that meets you where you are. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that blends emotional and spiritual support in a respectful, client-led way.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin—therapy can be a place to show up honestly and grow at your own pace.
