Hi, I’m Serena. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and educator in private practice in Winter Park, Florida. I work with individuals, couples and people in multiple-partner relationships who no longer want to be limited by their reactive patterns, insecure attachment styles, and past traumas.
I understand therapy as a collaborative process honoring clients’ lived experiences while opening space for growth and change. I consider clients to be experts in themselves, with my role being to provide support, skills, and accountability. I will encourage you to advocate for yourself and help you get your needs met in creative and resilient ways.
I specialize in CBT and Trauma-Focused CBT for individuals with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and PTSD. In my practice, I affirm LGBTQ+, polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous, and kinky individuals. I have additional training in mindfulness, sexual assault victims’ advocacy, and crisis intervention. I also provide secular counseling.
