Hi, I'm Kalia and  I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker! As someone who has experienced their own childhood trauma, ADHD and anxiety diagnoses I understand firsthand what it feels like to struggle with these issues and to feel misunderstood or unsupported. Because of this I am passionate about creating a partnership with my clients and ensuring that they feel seen, heard, and validated in their experiences. 

I have specialized expertise in anxiety disorders such as general anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, phobias, and panic disorders for children and adults. I also specialize in trauma-related disorders including childhood trauma, military, first responders, healthcare professionals, workplace trauma, and racial/ethnic trauma. Additionally, I have extensive training in working with neurodivergence disorders such as adult ADHD and Autism, BIPOC concerns, LGBTQIA+ concerns and female sexual dysfunction. 

When you work with me, you can expect a client-centered and relational approach to building safety, connection, mutual respect, and trust. 

I have advanced training in EMDR, anxiety-stressor disorders, ADHD, and sexual dysfunction. I have conducted over 400 EMDR sessions to date, working with clients on issues such as complex trauma, self-esteem, physical and sexual abuse, OCD, phobias, panic disorders, and grief. I am a certified clinical anxiety treatment professional. I am  in the process of completing my certification to become an ADHD clinical services provider and I will be fully certified to receive my EMDR credential in the summer of 2023.

I utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions, including psychoeducation, skills building, mindfulness, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, rational emotive therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure response therapy, introspective exposure therapy, Invivo exposure therapy, eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic therapy. I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs and goals, ensuring that their therapy is both effective and meaningful.

In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach, kayaking, gardening, baking, hiking, candle making, crocheting, reading, spin classes, watching horror movies and comedy shows, painting, and spending time with family, friends, and my adorable Bichon Frise, Jussie Doggett.
