Joy lives underneath the people-pleasing

You've spent so long managing everyone else's emotions that you've lost touch with your own. The constant managing, fixing, and emotional caretaking has buried the real you under layers of what everyone else needs.

I help you find joy again, especially when boundaries feel impossible and healing feels overwhelming.

My approach

Hi, I’m Calli and I excel at attuning to others and making them feel genuinely cared for. My style is intuitive, sometimes funny, always creative and with a calm, casual vibe that still delivers the depth you need.

I specialize in working with those healing from emotionally immature parents, setting boundaries that stick, and navigating the complex decision of going low or no contact. If you've been the emotional caretaker in your relationships, carrying everyone else's feelings while losing touch with your own, I see you.

My approach is grounded in attachment and relational trauma healing, nervous system regulation, boundary work without guilt, internal family systems and parts work, and somatic awareness and body wisdom.

Who I work with best

I tend to work best with women exhausted from emotional labor, adult children of emotionally immature parents, those considering or navigating no/low contact, people pleasers ready to reclaim themselves, and anyone whose childhood required them to be the adult.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to be ready to start.

What guides my work

After earning my MSW and LMSW (LCSW coming soon), plus certification as a trauma professional, I've learned that credentials matter less than connection.

What really guides my work is the belief that you're not too sensitive, you've just been gaslit. Understanding that boundaries aren't walls, they're bridges to better relationships. Knowing that finding joy isn't about forcing happiness, it's about feeling safe enough to feel everything. The truth that healing happens in relationship, including the one with yourself.

A few things I believe

Your needs matter, even if no one taught you that. Setting boundaries is an act of love, not punishment. You can love someone and still protect yourself from them. Healing your relationship with yourself changes every other relationship you have. Joy isn't something you find, it's something you uncover.

Ready to stop abandoning yourself for everyone else's comfort?

Whether you're seeking individual support for boundary work and family dynamics, couples coaching to navigate relational patterns, or future group programs then I'm here to meet you where you are.
