Hi, I'm Serena—glad you're here! I specialize in helping teens & adults dealing with anxious or racing thoughts, relationship struggles, or body image concerns. My ideal client is often introspective, a deep feeler, and someone who is sensitive to their emotions and ready to explore their inner world. I guide clients in reconnecting with the present moment and finding self-compassion, purpose, and confidence in their authentic selves. Borrowing techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Compassion-Focused therapy, I’m passionate about helping you regain control over your emotions and live in alignment with your values. View 4 Photos My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and individualized to meet you where you are, with openness, respect, and compassion. I value humility, humor, and building a genuine therapeutic relationship based on warmth, non-judgment, and support. A strong, trusting relationship between therapist and client is key to successful therapy. I’m committed to helping you find the right support, whether with me or through a referral, as you take steps toward healing and growth.
