Riding the Wave Therapy!
Navigate life’s challenges with support, strength, and resilience.
Life isn’t always steady—it can feel like rising and falling waves. Stress, expectations, and uncertainty may feel overwhelming, but you keep showing up. No matter where you are in your journey, you deserve support, understanding, and a safe space to explore it all.
What I Offer:
At Riding the Wave Therapy, I offer compassionate, personalized support for individuals and couples located in California, through Telehealth. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, uncover your strengths, and build tools to help you feel empowered and grounded—no matter what life brings.
