I feel like I have gotten such a better handle on my issues after meeting with Kaili over the course of these last six or seven months. She has helped me so much with my anxiety and I can't imagine not having her to speak with! I look forward to our sessions and can't thank her enough for the world of good she has done for me!!!!! She gives great advice, and is never judgmental. I am extremely grateful for her guidance and listening ear.

Get to know KaiLi
Why did you decide to become a counselor?
I love having the opportunity to get to know a wide variety of people and learn about different life experiences. The more I do this work, the more I love it.
What types of clients do you work with best?
Clients who are ready to share and reflect on their own life experiences.
What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?
Of course my main goal is to get to know the client and figure out how I can best support them, but my favorite part is getting to know one another! I love when clients ask about my background so they can better understand if I am a good fit for them.
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
Spending time with my daughter - she is just about 1 year old and so fun right now! We watch a lot of sports, especially Michigan State football and basketball! GO GREEN! Spending time with family and friends. Exploring the many new places popping up downtown Detroit (seems like there is something new every week!).
