You might be here because…
The worry doesn't switch off, even when everything looks fine. You keep showing up for everyone else, and there's little left for you. A loss or change has moved something you can't quite put a finger on.
Your responses make sense
Nothing about you needs fixing.
The patterns you've built - the overthinking, the bracing, the caretaking - were solutions once. They kept you steady when you needed them most. Here, we don't treat them as flaws to correct.
We get curious about what they've been protecting, and we build your own sense of safety, from the inside out.
Meet Serena
I'm Serena - a Registered Counsellor and Life Coach, and someone who understands what it's like to carry a lot and keep going anyway.
My work with clients grew out of my own path through grief, anxiety, and a long stretch of feeling disconnected from myself. I know how it feels to move from simply managing the hard days to actually understanding them, and how much changes when you do.
I offer a warm, relational, trauma-informed space where you can put some of the weight down and reconnect with the parts of yourself that got pushed aside in order to cope.

How I can support you
Anxiety & self-doubt
For overthinking, perfectionism, and the exhaustion of always being on.
Relationships
For how old patterns shape how you connect, and the bond with yourself.
Grief & Transitions
For a loss, a change, or a version of life you didn't get to keep.
Two pathways for connection
If you're not sure which fits where you are right now, that's a perfect thing to bring to a discovery call. And if your needs shift over time, we can talk about moving from one to the other.
Counselling
Counselling explores how your past shapes your present - your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, and gives you tools to move through life's hardships.
In the Grey Circles
An 8-week online grief support circle for women in British Columbia. Every kind of loss is welcome - a place to be witnessed, not fixed.
A gentle place to begin
Starting counselling can feel like a big step. We'll keep the first one small.
It begins with a 15-minute discovery call - no intake forms, no pressure, or commitment. Just a chance to talk about what's bringing you here and to feel whether we're the right fit.
If it feels right, we'll go from there at a pace that respects your nervous system, your history, and your autonomy.
