Hi, I’m Cali — I’m so glad you’re here.
As a Licensed Associate Counselor, I work with kids, teens, adults, and families who are navigating life’s challenges—whether it’s a major change, a painful loss, or simply feeling stuck, lost, or overwhelmed. You are not alone! Before diving into the world of counseling, I spent a decade in education, shaping young minds in the classroom. Drawing from my experiences in education, I bring a unique perspective, blending the art of teaching with the science of therapy.
I specialize in the treatment of trauma, abuse, and emotional deprivation. My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and rooted in evidence-based practices. I utilize tools from EMDR, EFT, DBT, CBT, IFS, and more to help clients reconnect with themselves and create lasting change.
Think of counseling as your own personal toolkit. Together, we’ll explore what it means to let go, forgive yourself, and love every part of who you are.
