I'm really glad that you are here.
You have just taken a BIG step. Searching for a therapist can feel challenging and stressful. The courage that led you on this journey is whole-heartedly recognized, because...it is hard. Finding a therapist that you feel like you can click with and understands you or your child can be a hopeful, yet overwhelming route in the sea of mental health.
Life can sometimes throw us unexpected challenges that leave us feeling anxious, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about what to do next. Major life events can shake us to our core. Other times, we simply find ourselves carrying more than we can manage on our own.
My goal is to provide a safe, accepting space where you, your child, or your teen can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and work toward helping you feel more confident, capable, and connected in your daily life.
You do not have to navigate it alone..
Wherever you are in your journey, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

"We are incredibly lucky to have worked with Ciara when our son was in the third grade. His social anxiety led to school refusal, and our bright and quirky dude just wasn't happy. Ciara created a targeted plan and used a combination of counseling techniques that resulted in noticeable improvement by us and school staff. She honored his preferences and needs and taught him ways to think about and approach struggles. I always felt informed, and Ciara respected the confidentiality that he and her had. Highly recommend Ciara to assist your family with any challenge your child is facing!"
"Ciara helped our family in amazing ways! She is very professional and has been a complete asset for our daughter with anxiety. I recommend Ciara to anyone struggling - especially kids - she has amazing ways of getting them to open up and work through any issues! We appreciate her beyond measure."
"My daughter first met Ciara when she was only 8 years old and began having anxiety. My daughter did not connect with the other counselors we met with. My daughter liked and trusted Ciara from the start, as did I. Ciara worked with my daughter on problem solving and coping strategies so she was able to manage her anxiety much better. Ciara has a way of bringing out the best in children because she can identify what motivates them and focuses on their individual strengths. We are so grateful and blessed to have Ciara's support. She has done so much for my daughter and for me as a concerned mother. My child's quality of life has gotten so much better and I could not ask for a better therapist for my daughter."
