I am a marriage and family therapist who can help you explore and change the patterns and behaviors that keep you from feeling connected and building quality relationships. We will work together to identify and change these dysfunctional patterns so that you will develop healthier and more effective ways of relating to others. I enjoy helping couples and families adjust to change, manage conflict, and develop coping skills to deal with life stresses and challenges including relational distress, life cycle transitions, grief, illness, and acculturation.
I use a culturally sensitive, integrative systemic approach that transcends and integrates the predominant models in contemporary psychotherapy (including cognitive-behavioral, humanistic-existential, and psychodynamic). This approach integrates the most effective elements from these different therapeutic models. As a result, I offer a highly personalized approach that is tailored to the unique needs of each client.
I am currently accepting new clients for both in-office and telehealth sessions. Serna Counseling Solutions is an independent, self-pay practice that does not accept insurance. This allows me more autonomy over the therapeutic work and protects the privacy of my clients’ personal information. Please note that a limited number of sliding fee scale appointments are available for those with limited financial resources.
