Meet Calena

My approach is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Sessions are collaborative—a space to speak freely, feel genuinely heard, and begin to make sense of what you're carrying. Much of my work explores how our earliest relationships shape the way we love, connect, and see ourselves. I draw from evidence-based practices while staying attuned to what feels most relevant for you, whether you're navigating something individually or alongside a partner.
