ONLINE THERAPY IN MINNESOTA & COLORADO
Helping you create meaningful change.
Compassionate, goal-oriented therapy for adults with Trauma, Anxiety and Depression
You’re composed on the outside…
but inside you’re struggling.
Do you feel like…
You seem like you got it all together but on the inside you feel confused, overwhelmed by relationships and can’t seem to calm your body when feeling anxiety.
You experience painful and traumatic memories that are pushing into your day to day life, and you are tired.
You feel like you are not good enough or don’t belong. You don’t feel like you fit into the dominant culture around you.
You’ve learned how to think differently through previous therapy, but you can’t seem to feel different in your body.
You will do anything to fix it but you don’t know what to do.
You would like a guide to help suss out what is overwhelming you and causing the uncomfortable experience in your body.
You don’t have to carry this on your own.
Hi, I’m Serena!
I am passionate about helping people heal from their traumatic pasts and guiding them toward healthier, more fulfilling futures. I find great meaning in supporting those who grew up in chaotic and overwhelming family systems, helping them navigate the challenges of breaking old patterns.
I am a partner, a parent to two young children, and a biracial individual with Mexican and White heritage. Growing up immersed in Chicano culture, I have firsthand experience navigating the complexities of non-dominant cultural identities while balancing multiple facets of who I am.
I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where all identities are seen, honored, and respected. No matter your race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or background, your identity will be valued and supported as you navigate your unique path toward healing and growth.
how it works
Schedule a consultation
Feeling comfortable with your therapist is important for your ability to reach your personal goals. Schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.
Dive in
We’ll meet to get to the root of the problems you’re experiencing and work on strategies for managing and improving them. After completing the initial intake, we will build a treatment plan that outlines a roadmap to help you reach your goals.
Experience growth & change
My goal is to actively work with you to identify the steps you need to make forward progress in life. Together, we’ll focus on helping you navigate challenging emotions during our sessions, giving you practical tools and strategies to apply in your daily life.
I specialize in:
-
Healing from painful experiences doesn’t require reliving every detail of the past. This is a safe space where you can process the effects of trauma and pain, gradually loosening their hold on your life—at a pace that feels right for you.
-
Life doesn’t have to be defined by exhaustion, burnout, or the constant pull of “fight or flight.” You can learn to rest, slow down, and reconnect with your mind and body, reducing anxiety and rediscovering the fulfillment and joy that feel out of reach.
-
Feelings of numbness can creep into daily life, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming and moments of joy feel empty. It might feel like you’re merely going through the motions, weighed down by loneliness or disconnection that’s hard to shake. This is a safe and supportive space to explore and understand these feelings, offering tools to reconnect with yourself and regain emotional balance.
