Hi, I'm Ciera! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master's from Indiana University. I've been practicing therapy since 2021, and began working in the mental health field in 2017. I’ve had the privilege of working with children pre-teens, teens, adults, and families. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore, heal, and grow.

In our first session, we’ll start by getting to know each other. I’ll ask you some questions to better understand your background, what brought you to therapy, and what you’re hoping to achieve. I want you to feel comfortable and heard, so there’s no rush—we’ll go at your pace. A therapeutic relationship is a two way street, so it’s also a great time to ask any questions you might have about me, therapy, and how I work. Together, we’ll start to identify the areas you’d like to focus on, and from there, we can create a plan to support your growth and healing.

I believe my greatest strengths lie in my empathy, open-mindedness and a love for continued learning. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. I’ve been told that I have a unique ability to help clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences, which is important in building trust and fostering healing. I am also adaptable, which helps me meet clients where they are and tailor my approach to suit their needs. Overall, I prioritize creating an environment where clients feel seen and understood.

I specialize in working with adults who are navigating the early years of their careers and those experiencing burnout, stress, and challenges in peer and romantic relationships. Many of my clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about the demands of life and the changes that come with it. They're eager to grow but often lack the tools to move forward. I also work with clients who are processing past trauma, providing a safe space for healing and growth. My goal is to help individuals build the skills, empowerment, and resilience needed to manage life's challenges and create a path toward the fulfilling life they envision.
