Great to meet you!

Thank you for visiting my profile. Taking this first step toward support is something to be proud of. I’m Serena, and I provide in-person therapy in San Luis Obispo, CA and virtually throughout California. Finding a therapist that you connect with is essential, whether that’s me or someone else. In working primarily with women, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, empowering space for healing, whether it's navigating life changes, trauma, grief, or loss. Together, we would work to equip you with practical tools that support your unique needs, lifestyle and personality and lasting resources that extend beyond the therapy room.

My approach to therapy focuses on your strengths, background and personality traits with the goal of helping you cultivate a healthy balance of motivation and tranquility. People often feel isolated during times of change and hardship. I work alongside you to identify specific goals and develop pathways to emotional freedom, connection and wellbeing.

The people I work with include adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, illness, trauma, and grief. I also have specialized training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders and cancer care. Again, thank you and I look forward to working with you or helping you find the support that you need.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be a good time for me to learn more about your history, current stressors and therapy goals- if you need support identifying goals, I can help with that too! I will likely share a little bit about myself and we will review practice policies and some of the information covered in my intake packet including confidentiality. We will ensure to answer questions that you may have about anything covered or the therapy process.
