You don’t have to stay disconnected. You can learn to feel safe in your emotions, express love freely, and build trust from within.
Therapy for men and masc people who want to move beyond shame and create relationships based on honesty, depth, and real connection.
Serving Olympia and all of Washington.
You’ve built a good life, but you still feel disconnected.
You’re ready for deeper connection and fulfilling relationships.
You know you aren’t connecting as well as you could with the people you love — but you’re not sure how to change that.
You’re great at solving problems, but when it comes to emotions, you feel stuck.
You care deeply about your loved ones, but you worry they can’t always feel that.
You feel like you’re not fully engaged with life — like you’re not in the driver’s seat.
There’s a quiet sense that something more is possible, even if you can’t quite name it.
You want to understand your masculinity in a way that feels healthy — you want to be responsible to others without feeling ashamed about who you are.
You’re trying to be a loving partner or father, but without clear models to follow, it feels like you’re making it up as you go.
You value responsibility and treating others well, but a voice inside still tells you you’re not doing enough — or that you’re not enough.
I'm Ciera. I believe you're capable of more: having more connection, creating more meaning, and experiencing more peace.
In therapy, I help men and masc people who are ready to take an honest look at themselves and create real, lasting change. We explore what’s beneath the surface — emotions, attachment wounds, and subconscious patterns — while learning practical, actionable tools that make growth stick.
Change is hard. Getting started with me is easy.
Step 1: Reach out
Contact me [here], and I’ll respond to set up a complimentary consultation. There’s no commitment or pressure — just a chance to see if we’re a good fit and if I can offer the kind of help you’re looking for.
Step 2: Begin the work
In our weekly sessions, we’ll start by deeply understanding who you are. I’ll help you access parts of yourself you haven’t met yet, engage with your emotions in a transformative way, and identify practical changes you can begin practicing right away.
Step 3: Experience the change you’ve been longing for.
Feel more connected in your relationships. Move through the world with greater ease in your body and mind. Live with a renewed sense of meaning, peace, and self-trust.
My Specialties
Fathers
You wear so many hats as a dad — partner, provider, protector, friend. With countless priorities pulling at your time and attention, it can be hard to give your best to your family while still feeling like a whole person. In therapy, we’ll explore what fatherhood means to you and help you find balance, connection, and a sense of self that includes you, too.
Tech Workers
It’s no secret that the tech sector is overrun with burnout. The fast pace, shifting landscape, and high expectations can create a pressure cooker. In therapy, we’ll take an honest look at how your work is impacting you and find the tools to lower stress and regulate your emotions. We’ll look for ways that you can replenish, so you aren’t constantly feeling like you are pouring from an empty cup.
Relationships
Our relationships shape so much of our happiness and sense of belonging. Yet many men were never taught the tools to build strong, emotionally connected partnerships. In therapy with me, you’ll learn those tools — and in the process, get to know yourself on a deeper level.
You don’t have to stay disconnected or keep going through the motions of life.
I can help you find a new way forward. The path may not look the way you expected, but it’s there. Together, we can walk it.
