I look forward to meeting with Kalena. She was quite challenging in the beginning but, she has been everything I was looking for. She is considerate of my needs as they may change from time to time. I have made such great progress.

My wife and I were seeking couple counseling and Kalena's background and experience seemed to be aligned with what we were looking for in therapy. Our initial meeting seemed to be focused on both our individual and joint goals for our relationship and her ability to be open to flexibility to our schedule was a plus. Looking forward to our continued work going forward.
