Therapy session for adults

A therapy session for adults will focus on exploring thoughts, emotions, dilemmas, and goals. Evidence based modalities are provided to help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and work toward positive change. Sessions are collaborative and paced towards your needs and readiness.


Therapy session for children and teens

A therapy session for children and teen provides a safe space where they can explore big feelings. Evidence based approaches such as play, sand tray, expressive arts, books, and even teens may prefer talk therapy. These modalities help children and teen sexplore emotions, solve problems, and develop emotional skills in a way that feels natural and engaging for their stage of development.


Extended Therapy Sessions for Adults

Extended therapy sessions offer focused, in-depth support beyond the traditional hour. These longer sessions allow time to explore emotions, process experiences, and create lasting breakthroughs for meaningful healing and growth. These sessions are also a good fit for those who may have busy schedules and do not want weekly sessions. My extended therapy session options are 90 minutes or 3 hours.

Grief Education and Coaching

Grief coaching provides compassionate support and practical guidance to help you navigate loss with understanding and hope. Learn how grief affects the mind and body, develop healthy coping strategies, and find meaning and healing as you move forward.

Groups can provide an opportunity for children to find connection and learn from one another.

Welcome! I’m so glad you are here and you are right where you belong! When I began my career in the field of special education, I never imagined I’d be doing clinical work, 25 years later. However, my journey of working in Early Intervention, my own grief, loss, life changes and healing, as well as goodness were what guided me to be curious about how development impacts wellness. My pursuit of a second master’s degree in mental health counseling and my PhD have been a guide and source of new knowledge and understanding of being a human. As a counselor, I, too, have been part of life’s ups and downs. This is what make me unique. And you unique to your own life story and goals. I will always be a lifelong learner. Today, I am the CEO of Sierra Oak Counseling providing in office as well as online counseling support throughout CA and across ID. Come as you are, there is no judgement on my part. It is my hope that here you will find healing, growth, support, and community here at Sierra Oak Counseling. Schedule a consult today on the link to see if we’re a good fit.
