    Hello! I’m Kali and I am a limited licensed social worker with a passion for supporting individuals, children, and families navigate life’s challenges and provide person centered care to encourage personal fulfillment, growth, and healing. I also serve as a K-12 school social worker and have past experience in the community mental health & home based settings. My specialization includes supporting and advocating for families and children of all ages in their emotional awareness and expression, trauma processing, school/life stress, relationship challenges, and self-advocacy. As a creative person myself, I love allowing clients to express themselves through their creative side through art, games, music, and play. I have experience supporting children, teens, and adults with ADHD, Autism spectrum disorder, ODD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I understand how important it is to meet you where you are, not where someone else wants you to be. I look forward to providing a calm and welcoming environment where growth and healing can take place.

    Willow was Acacia’s first therapy dog. She started working at the office as a young pup offering a warm and welcoming greeting to all who came for treatment. She was a great therapy partner who offered compassion during painful moments and a good laugh when stealing a tissue at just the right time. She loved to participate in play therapy sessions to help kids build their confidence, communicate assertively, and create safe attachments. Willow’s life was cut short when she died during a tragic accident on July 2, 2025. She is greatly missed by all who were blessed to know her.
