Hello, I'm Sirena! 🧜‍♀️☀️

I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out can be tough, and the fact that you made it here matters. You don’t have to go through things alone. I’m here to listen and support you, whatever you’re carrying. This is a judgment-free space where you can take things at your own pace 💛

💛 Why I Became a Listener

I actually started on 7 Cups as a member myself, and it made a big difference in my life. There were times when I didn’t feel like I could talk to people around me, and having someone just listen helped more than I expected.

It supported me through some really hard moments, especially when therapy was not accessible or when I was living overseas and still learning the language. The listeners I met here really inspired me, and I wanted to be that kind of support for someone else.

At the end of the day, everyone deserves someone to talk to. Whether that is to vent, process something heavy, or just chat about random things for a while.

⚠️ Topics I’m Not the Best Fit For

I want to make sure you get the support you deserve, so I may not be the best fit for:

• Men’s issues
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Perinatal mood disorders
• Personality disorders
• Schizophrenia
• Sexual health
• Self harm

Some of these are outside my experience, and others can be personally triggering. If you reach out about these, I will do my best to help you find a listener who is a better fit 💛

🌼 My Approach

I try to meet you where you are. Whether you want to dive into something heavy, vent about your day, have a light conversation, or just distract yourself for a bit, that is all okay.

You do not need to have the “right” words or a clear reason to be here. Just showing up is enough.
