About Kala…

You find yourself caught in the grip of anxiety, unable to find peace or stillness in your life. You're feeling stuck, yearning to move forward but unsure of how to break free. You're not alone. Many of us face these challenges, especially when dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, or the unique struggles of perinatal experiences.

I'm here to offer you support and guidance on your journey toward healing and growth. Together, we can explore ways to manage your anxiety, process your trauma, navigate grief, and find a path to peace and fulfillment.

My approach is warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. I provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, helping you to release the grip of the past and embrace the present moment. Let's work together to help you feel more fulfilled, less focused on the past, and empowered to enjoy the stage of life you're in now.

If you're ready to take the first step toward a brighter tomorrow, I'm here to walk with you every step of the way.
