Hi, I’m Cali — I’m so glad you’re here.

Cali, MA Intern

I work with kids, teens, and adults to feel seen, supported, and empowered, especially during life’s most overwhelming or painful moments. Whether you're facing trauma, anxiety, stress, or unhelpful thought patterns, I’m here to walk alongside you with care and compassion.


As a counseling intern at Ottawa University, I have an emphasis in the treatment of trauma, abuse, and emotional deprivation. My approach is gentle and trauma-informed, rooted in evidence-based practices. I use a client-centered approach with a mix of tools including CBT, DBT, EFT, TF-CBT, and IFS. I help clients reconnect with themselves, build emotional safety, and create meaningful change.


You are not alone! Think of counseling as your own personal toolkit. It's a place to learn coping skills, build resilience, and discover your inner strength. Counseling isn't just about fixing what's broken. It's about loving every part of who you are!
