“Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Hello. My Name is Kahli. I am a qualified mental health professional.

I provide therapy to adults and children.

I specialize in helping women to get through challenging life transitions.

Using an eclectic mix of evidence-based treatments, common sense and humor, I provide individual therapy, pre-marital and marital counseling.

My training and experience in mental health treatment, child welfare, criminal justice and domestic violence prevention give me a unique perspective as a helping professional.

I help my clients to discover and build upon their own inner strengths and resources. I believe in forming a strong & trusting partnership with my clients to make them feel comfortable, understood & confident in their lives. I provide helpful, honest counseling both virtually and in person.

Contact me for a free 15-minute telephone consultation. My first goal is to help you to determine if we are a good match. If we are, then we will create a plan of action that will guide our work together.

When you become a parent, your child is the apple of your eye. You want the best life for them and you will do almost anything to ensure their safety and their happiness. Children bring joy to our lives; they are energetic, quirky and imaginative. Kids exhibit their personalities through play and social connections. Watching our tiny humans grow and learn is precious. Children test boundaries with adults as part of several developmental stages. Being inquisitive creatures, this is a child’s way of testing the environment. Dynamic relationships can affect a child's wellness causing behaviors that confuse parents and children.


Thankfully, there is help for parents and children who are concerned about ADHD, depression or anxiety. Children require creative methods of intervention to help them through these scary times. Because children’s play is often imaginative and accentuates their thoughts and feelings, creative arts therapy is the technique I use to help you and your child.


The best strategy with kids is to mimic their level of energy, shyness or creativity that they are expressing. The focus of therapy is to help your child learn coping skills that will benefit them in their world. Let’s work together to ensure your little peanut or preteen has all the tools they need to reach their full potential.

I am a social worker and a nurse. I use a humanistic and holistic approach to therapy but most importantly I use your strengths as the client to pursue the health that you desire. Within all of us is the desire to be happy and healthy. Life can give us obstacles that keep us from achieving that but together we can find a way to navigate the obstacles and also acquire tools that will help you achieve your own goals. I am so happy you have made this first step.
