Hi, I’m Serena, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Philadelphia and the founder of The Meaning Space.

I provide virtual therapy throughout Pennsylvania and Wisconsin for adults navigating anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, self-esteem, identity, relationship challenges, and attachment patterns.

I often think about how we are all moving through the same world, yet experiencing it through deeply different internal landscapes shaped by personal history, relationships, and the stories we come to carry about ourselves.

My experience before private practice spans inpatient settings, residential eating disorder treatment, family visitation centers, disability support work, and group practice. Across these settings, I have witnessed a common thread: people making sense of their experiences in vastly different ways — different humans finding different ways to survive, adapt, and make meaning of what has happened to them.

I tend to move through life with a creative way of seeing, drawn to meaning, nuance, and small details that often go unnoticed. I bring that same stance into my work: a space to help my clients slow down, get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface, and gently explore the patterns shaping their experiences. Therapy, to me, is not about “fixing” you, but about healing through relationship, building insight, and coming into a more honest, flexible relationship with yourself.

If you are ready to explore your inner world and build a more balanced, authentic life, I’d love to help you find your Meaning Space.
