“The most impactful work I’ve ever done in my life”

work 1:1 with me

Internal Family Systems Therapy

I revere the healing and transformation possible when one courageously seeks time with a trained coach or therapist as an empathetic listener. I continuously prioritize this type of support for myself and it’s supremely gratifying to my spirit to share this with others in a therapeutic relationship one to one. I’ve trained ardently in psychodynamic and somatic models and am informed strongly by my dedication to the Buddhist path of Vajrayana, which I feel holds the keys to an elegant awakening and overcoming suffering.

I interweave Buddhism, Yin Yoga and Internal Family Systems as lenses to create a safe and sanctuarious setting for inquiry, contemplation, and healing.

My certifications include the following:

  • Internal Family Systems Therapy

  • Trauma & Nervous System Reconciliation

  • Death Doula Support: Healing through Grief, Loss, Transition & Sorrow

  • Awakening to the Dharma: Buddha Dharma Philosophy & Psychology

I am available for single sessions or continuous connection, as my schedule allows.

  • “I am absolutely thriving these days - no doubt in large part due to the work I am doing with Kali”

  • “I never recognized the impact trauma had on my life, culminating in 3 years of chronic pain, 3 unnecessary surgeries, and emotional withdrawal. I was very new to practicing yoga and meditation - Kali's sessions were moving and such a transformative part of my life. I see my path now is to enable others to benefit from this full healing experience"

  • "I am so incredibly grateful to do this work, to be aware, to have the opportunity to change my belief system and to clear so many of the dysfunctional patterns in my lineage and those which showed up in my marriage. A mirror of what I needed to clear in myself so I can now stand whole in my own love and ready to embark on my biggest adventure yet! I thank you from the bottom of my heart, another example of the universe providing me with what I needed before I needed it. Yin has been such an emotional safe haven for me to unravel these last parts of transformation and release."

  • “I feel at home working with Kali. I feel like I found a teacher that aligns with what I find I am most passionate about…linking the mind (thoughts) – with emotions (feelings in your body and soul) – with our outward actions. I believe that continuing on the path of studying with Kali will guide me to dive deeper within, learning more about my own inner fabric and enable me to feel excited, empowered and comfortable facilitating students/clients on and off the mat. The body of study I’ve experience with Kali so far including neuroplasticity, trauma, and more”

Testimonials

What is Internal Family Systems?

Transformative psychotherapy… and empowering paradigm.

Internal Family Systems is a powerfully transformative, evidence-based model of psychotherapy.

IFS is a transformative tool that conceives every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts lead by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing.  Our inner parts contain valuable qualities and our core Self (the you who is not a part) knows how to heal, allowing us to become integrated and remember our inherent wholeness.

Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal. 

IFS cultivates a window of tolerance and psychological acceptance because a central tenant in the paradigm is that ALL part are welcome, and have benevolent intentions.

But IFS is much more than a non-pathologizing evidence-based psychotherapy to be used in a clinical setting. It is also a way of understanding personal and intimate relationships. Professionals from many different backgrounds such as legal mediation, school administration, life coaches and yoga teachers may utilize IFS to inform and guide their work.

IFS is a movement. A new, empowering paradigm for understanding and harmonizing the mind and, thereby, larger human systems. One that can help people heal and helps the world become a more compassionate place.
