Hello! I'm Callia (she/her) (pronounced KAL-ee-uh). As an experienced therapist, I specialize in supporting women's mental health, including perinatal mental health, and providing therapy for professionals. With a proven track record of helping countless individuals, my passion lies in assisting individuals on their journey towards improved wellbeing and empowering helping professionals to thrive in their careers.

Empowering Women, Nurturing Perinatal Mental Health, and Supporting Professionals with Experience and Expertise


With over 15 years of experience in the field, I have gained a deep understanding of the unique challenges that women face in today's world. In a compassionate and collaborative approach, I create a safe space where you can openly discuss your concerns, find healing, and make positive changes.

I specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health issues commonly experienced by women, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and work-life balance challenges. I believe in tailoring my therapeutic approach to meet your specific needs, utilizing evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotional focused therapy (EFT) to promote personal growth and long-lasting transformation.


As a therapist, I understand the unique challenges that helping professionals face. I offer a caring approach to help you navigate your profession, cope with burnout, and find balance. Therapy provides a safe space to process experiences, manage stress, and develop self-care strategies. Together, we can explore burnout and enhance your resilience at work. My goal is to empower you to overcome challenges and thrive. We'll work on improving well-being, managing stress, setting boundaries, and building resilience. Each session is tailored to meet your specific needs, supporting your success. By seeking therapy, you demonstrate commitment to your growth. Prioritize your well-being and schedule a session today. I'm here to support you every step of the way.
