    “Parenthood…It’s about guiding the next generation, and forgiving the last” -Peter Krause

    If you’re looking to find more joy in parenting — and to parent from a place of joy — Kaili is the right fit for you. With a deep passion and natural talent for helping caregivers build confidence in their parenting journeys, Kaili brings together insights from your own childhood experiences, the latest research in child development, and her lived experience as a mother of five. Her approach is designed to help clients break generational cycles and create thriving, resilient families.

    Kaili especially enjoys supporting parents who are navigating the stress of coping with developmental disabilities and medical complexities in their children. Kaili is committed to helping families find peace and organization in their lives in ways that work for them. For those seeking more immediate, hands-on support, Kaili also offers Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a highly effective, evidence-based approach that provides live coaching to help caregivers strengthen their parenting skills and address challenging behaviors.

    As a therapist, Kaili brings a personable, down-to-earth style that fosters openness and trust, blending humor with genuine empathy to create a space where clients feel both understood and at ease. She draws on motivational interviewing to help individuals explore their own reasons for change, empowering them to uncover strengths and chart their own path forward. What sets Kaili apart is her ability to connect with people who don’t fit the mold—those facing unique challenges or whose stories don’t align with textbook cases. She believes therapy should never be one-size-fits-all and is passionate about tailoring treatment to fit the individual, not the other way around. With a mix of warmth, curiosity, and creative thinking, Kaili meets clients where they are and helps them get where they want to go.
