Dr. Sierra’s Style
Clients often describe Dr. Sierra as warm, engaging, compassionate, caring, insightful, knowledgeable, flexible, and direct. She brings a grounded and collaborative presence into therapy, blending empathy with practical tools and honest conversation. She aims to create a space where you can show up as your full self with no masks, no performance, no pressure.
Dr. Sierra named her practice Fusion Psychological and Consulting Services because she blends multiple therapeutic model to create a cohesive, integrated therapeutic approach. Additionally, Dr. Sierra believes the mind does not exist separately from the body and the soul or heart…she treats all three in union.
Dr. Sierra’s Professional Path:
Before becoming a psychologist, Dr. Sierra worked in the Federal Government as an investigator and polygraph examiner. That experience gave her a deep understanding of human behavior—but more importantly, it showed her how powerful self-awareness and emotional insight can be. I wanted to do more than observe patterns; I wanted to help people transform them. That calling led her to earn a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) in 2012 and dedicate her career to clinical work that changes lives from the inside out.
When Dr. Sierra is not Working
Outside the therapy room, Dr. Sierra is a parent, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and basically an imperfect person who likely has many of the same struggles you do. Hobbies include traveling all over to listen to live music, daily meditation, running, cooking, and being a dedicated (okay, obsessed) fan of the NFL.
