She/Her
Hello! My name is Sienna and I am so glad you’re here.
As you’ve embarked on your search for a therapist, I’m sure many questions have come up. What kind of therapist do I need? How will I tell my story? Who will I trust and connect with? Will I ever feel better? While many of these questions are yours to answer, I hope I can help make the search easier.
Like you, I’ve struggled with my mental health, worked to maintain connections and boundaries with others, explored my identity and overall traveled the ups and downs of life. In some ways we may be the same, and in other ways not.
My approach to therapy is based in humanistic existential, narrative and somatic theory. I aim for the process to be collaborative and flexible, knowing that our needs vary from moment to moment. You know yourself best, I am simply in the passenger seat helping navigate and shining a light on details you may have missed. My training is through a culturally competent and trauma informed lens and continues to grow as I grow. I completed my masters degree in art therapy through Lewis and Clark’s school of Education and Counseling in early 2023 and am now working towards a dual licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR).
Now, let’s talk about art therapy! Many of us have memories of making art as a child whether that be exploring new textures and colors, doodling in class or expressing yourself through music and writing. Either way, we all have some experience in self expression and art making. You don’t need to be an artist to engage in art therapy, all I ask is that you come open and curious. In sessions art therapy can look like a check in at the beginning, a longer project over a period of time, a source of containment or anything in between! Art is limitless and can overall serve as a tool that can help us dive deeper and connect in ways where words alone can limit. I invite you to take the leap and reconnect with your expressive self.
Outside of my role as therapist I can be found creating my own art, searching for rocks along the coast, playing cello or figuring skating with friends. Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your therapist, I look forward to creating art with you soon!
As I am still working towards licensure, I am being supervised by Richard Clark, LPC and Jordan Hubchik, LPC LCAT ATR-BC.
