MISSION & VALUES

The mission of Serenity Psychotherapy is to create a space for healing, radical self-love, and personal growth. Life can be stressful, and each person has a unique story.​ In the therapy room, I am committed to holding space for the big conversations, the underlying experiences, and the words that might sometimes be left unsaid. It is my mission to help you to find a home space within, to cultivate a deep awareness of who you are and what you need for healing. 

​

As a trauma-informed therapist, I incorporate EMDR, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and more. We will have the opportunity to make connections between the mind and the body. We will work together to identify your hopes and dreams for therapy, and to co-create supportive and empowering experience. I also welcome an integration of culture and history, as we make meaning of the present moment.

 

I prioritize offering support to folks from BIPOC communities and those with intersectional identities, in the process of healing from trauma, stress, and discrimination. Follks on the neurodiversity continuum, from ADHD to autism spectrum to sensory sensitivities, are always welcome. This work may also include a focus on social justice, community, and allyship.
