Are you a neurodivergent or highly sensitive person (HSP) who struggles with feeling overwhelmed and exhausted all the time? Does it feel like you get hijacked by your emotions and past trauma plays over and over in your mind? I get it. The world leads us to believe that if we struggle with intense emotions, overwhelm or letting go of the past, there must be something wrong with us. I’m here to tell you that nothing is wrong with you. You’re not broken, the way you feel is not your fault, and healing is possible. I’m Sera, and as a neurodivergent therapist with ADHD I understand the struggle.

Do you frequently feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and unsatisfied? Are your relationships suffering? I’m passionate about helping clients navigate difficult situations and committed to helping you create strong and healthy relationships so that you can start living a thriving life. Clients enjoy returning to sessions because I allow them to speak openly about their challenges while creating a collaborative unique treatment plan. This allows individuals to view their problems differently, promote change more effectively, and balance empathy with authenticity, humor, and accountability.

Are you tired of feeling like a prisoner of your past or current situation? The therapy relationship is a powerful experience that can provide healing in many ways; you don’t have to go through life’s trials alone. As humans, we share the common vulnerability of struggling with some form of suffering. Psychotherapy is a safe place for healing and moving through life challenges. I primarily use EMDR, self-compassion skills, and cognitive behavioral skills to assist my clients in the therapeutic process.

I have expanded my hours to accept new clients. In these uneasy times, many people find they are struggling more than ever. They are experiencing anxiety, depression, and overall stress. This leads to loss of focus and unhealthy behaviors such as increased substance use. My goal is to help you improve your life as quickly as possible and maintain your progress. This is achieved through an integrative approach which includes research-based interventions such as neurofeedback, and many others. The therapeutic relationship is important. I offer a free 15-minute initial session to determine if we are a good fit

Life is messy, and sometimes, so are we. When it becomes overwhelming, we often forget our own strengths and solutions that we've relied on before. Engaging in therapy services can be challenging, as there is such a stigma in asking for help. I offer a warm and non-judgmental approach, with a side of humor if needed. I have worked in multiple settings, including acute psychiatric care, hospitals, schools, and in clinics. I want to continue to help those who want to improve their quality of life in the way they live, think, relate, or connect to others, and how they demonstrate their authentic selves.

Many of us unknowingly repeat patterns that keep us stuck or can be harmful and interfere with living our best and most meaningful life. Addiction, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, self-esteem and relationship issues cause our lives to become more difficult than planned or imagined. Learning how to identify and effectively address what gets in our way can seem overwhelming if we aren't equipped with the appropriate tools to deal with them. Increasing self-awareness can bring us to a state of congruence so what we feel on the inside more clearly matches what we express on the outside.

Welcome! I believe we all have the capacity for healthy growth toward being our best selves, however we define that to be. Sometimes old patterns, trauma, difficult relationships, or unexpected life changes make that process difficult and can obstruct the path forward. My goal as your therapist is to help you decide what change looks like for you and to walk that path with you.

Culturally Sensitive Therapists
How does culturally sensitive therapy work?
A culturally sensitive therapist will tailor their approach to therapy based on the individual client’s background. This may include changing their style of interaction (asking open-ended questions vs. being the “expert” voice), their affect (seeming warm or “neutral”), how much personal information they disclose about themselves, and more. It’s also important for a culturally sensitive therapist to acknowledge larger societal forces that may impact their client due to the client’s background.
How effective is culturally sensitive therapy?
Some professionals have expressed concern about highlighting cultural differences in therapy, suggesting that it might promote stereotypes and harm the therapeutic bond; however, many experts agree that cultural sensitivity tends to strengthen the connection between therapist and client and help clients feel heard and understood. A culturally sensitive approach to therapy can be especially helpful for those not in the cultural majority, especially when combined with proven therapies like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
What are the limitations of a culturally sensitive approach to therapy?
While being culturally sensitive is generally a valuable skill to have, a therapist cannot treat every client from a similar background the same way. Each client is an individual with their own values, personal preferences, and life experiences that will need to be explored during therapy. In addition, it’s rare for a therapist and client to have identical backgrounds, so there may be some cross-cultural differences to navigate during therapy, but a culturally sensitive therapist can do so with empathy and respect.
Can culturally sensitive therapy be done online?
Yes, online therapy using a culturally sensitive approach can be beneficial. Therapy can sometimes be difficult to access for clients from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic standing. The array of mental health support available through the internet makes it possible for clients to find a good therapist match regardless of where they live.
