Welcome! My name is Kali. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. I want to acknowledge your courage and the importance of this moment. You are taking the first steps towards healing and rediscovering who you are. Change or events in life can develop a sense of feeling uneasy or just leaving you feeling "off". This feeling can grow to the point that it can be hard to manage and may start to impact your day-to-day life, sense of security, understanding of yourself, and/or relationships with others. Having a space to know you are able to talk about these stressors or struggles is important but feeling that you have this space is just as, and sometimes, more important. This is what we can develop together. Therapy is a collaboration between both you and me, to develop a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space to discuss any concerns or struggles you may be facing. We can build and practice skills to use outside of therapy, review maladaptive or unhelpful thought patterns, better understand your needs in order to have strong boundaries, and creating your own safe space to practice processing the stressors in life are key aspects to our work together. We will work at your own pace and create goals that target what you need or want within therapy.

I also specialize in treating ADHD and as a psychotherapist with ADHD, I can help provide unique perspectives and approaches to working through and managing ADHD with and without medication!

My passion is working with children, teenagers, young adults, couples and families to process trauma and difficult experiences so they can experience growth and healing within themselves and their relationships.
