Hi! I am Chardae Korhonen (She/Her) a licensed clinical social worker and relational therapist.

If you're here, I'm guessing something isn't sitting quite right. Maybe you're stuck in the same relationship patterns, overthinking every conversation you've ever had, feeling disconnected from yourself, navigating hormonal changes (PMS/PMDD, Perimenopause or Menopause) healing from trauma, or just tired of feeling like you're surviving instead of actually living. Whatever brought you here, I'm really glad you found your way.
