Practice Information
Hi there! I’m Serena (she/her), and I’m passionate about walking alongside people through the ups and downs of life. My style is warm and steady, and I practice from a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and anti-oppressive lens. I see therapy as a dependable place to find relief, clarity, and growth. Many folks I meet with are working through anxiety, relationship dynamics, major life transitions, trauma, and questions of identity and belonging. I also hold a special place for those who’ve lived across cultures or countries - including Adult Third Culture Kids (ATCKs) - but you’re welcome here whether or not that’s your story.
Common threads I work with
- Trauma and complex trauma; anxiety, panic, and emotional overwhelm
- Relationship patterns, communication, boundaries, self-esteem
- Work stress, perfectionism, burnout, and sleep difficulties
- Life transitions, identity shifts, grief and loss
- Cultural identity, migration experiences, and intergenerational expectations
My way of working
Good therapy begins with a trusting connection. We’ll move at your pace - collaborative and kind - so you can feel understood and leave with practical steps in between sessions. I believe that safety and attunement come first in order for deeper change to happen.
I integrate EMDR, ACT, CBT, IFS (parts work), EFT, and SFBT, along with nervous-system skills and mindfulness. Each session is tailored to your values, pace, and context.
How we can work together
We can focus on brief, solution-focused goals or take our time with deeper, longer-term exploration. Whether you’re in a hard season or feeling disconnected, I’ll meet you where you are.
