Silva

LICSW, LCSW-C
Sierra takes an empathetic, attentive, and inviting approach to therapy. Her focus is to create an environment where you will feel seen and supported. Life is filled with never ending responsibilities, mountains, and valleys. While all are purposeful, we deserve spaces to sift through feelings and develop tools to navigate our way through each one.
 
Sierra’s work focuses on dissolving the taboo surrounding difficult conversations and feelings. She empowers clients to fully be themselves, take action, and give sound to challenging emotions. She maintains the belief that who you were does not dictate who you are becoming.
 
Sierra received her BSW from Rutgers University and her MSW from University of Maryland. She primarily utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing. She creates space for you to discuss challenges we all experience with a focus on Black, Indigenous, and People of color (BIPOC).
