Overview

Kali received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Texas A&M University in Health with a focus in Health Education and Community Health.  She also received a Master of Arts degree from Amberton University in both school and professional counseling.  Kali is a certified teacher and school counselor.  She currently works at Child and Family Guidance Center as a drug and alcohol prevention counselor serving school districts in the North Dallas area.

 

While working as a middle school teacher and a prevention counselor in schools, Kali has developed a heart for adolescents and young adults who may need to be introduced to a new set of skills, techniques, and/or ways of thinking that will help alleviate stagnation or decline and encourage positive change. 

 

Personal Statement

Counseling has always been a way of life for me.  I did not understand the meaning of counseling at the time, but as a child, I would listen intently to friends talk about issues they were going through.  While listening, I developed patience and empathy which helped me identify solutions and plan out strategies that would help resolve the problems they were facing.

 

As an adult, I recognize that helping others is my passion, and I am committed to providing clients with the resources necessary to achieve fundamental change in their lives.  Through guidance, education, goal-setting, and teamwork, I believe each individual has the capacity to enhance his/her life in a positive manner.  I am dedicated to providing support, encouragement, and accountability for my clients.  I also believe in creating an environment where my clients feel safe, which is crucial for resolution and change.   

 

As a Christian, I firmly believe God holds the ultimate key to our lives, but He has given us the ability and opportunity to make choices.  As a counselor, I am suited to assist with those choices in order to help each person achieve personal growth, to help each person reach his/her full potential, and to help each person ultimately achieve self-actualization. 

 

Treatment Areas

Abuse, Academic achievement, ADD/ADHD, Addictions, Anger management, Anxiety Disorders, Career Issues, Depression, Divorce, Drug/Alcohol abuse, Eating disorders, Family conflict, Loss/Grief, Self-Esteem issues, Relationship problems, School stressors, and Self harm.

 

Treatment Modalities

Each individual is unique.  Kali tailors her sessions and treatment plans according to what will benefit the client most. Kali uses Reality Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Choice Therapy, and/or Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.  Kali works with individuals, couples and groups.  Christian counseling is available upon request.
