This is Kalos

Kalos: good, beautiful, noble or excellent

Kalos is a Greek adjective that is used to describe someone who’s intrinsic goodness is seen as beautiful to others.

I have been practicing social work for 12 years. I have worked with many different client populations including neurodivergent people, adoptive/foster/kinship caregivers, adoptees and children in foster care, pregnant and postpartum women, and various other populations that have overcome impossible circumstances.

Outside of Kalos, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, taking walks outside, reading, and experimenting in the kitchen.

“It’s interesting-most people think about therapy as something that involves going in and undoing what’s happened. But whatever your past experiences created in your brain, the associations exist and you can’t just delete them. You can’t get rid of the past. Therapy is more about building new associations, making new, healthier default pathways. It is almost as if therapy is taking your two-lane dirt road and building a four-lane freeway alongside it. The old road stays, but you don’t use it much anymore. Therapy is building a better alternative, a new default. And that takes repetition, and time, honestly, it works best if someone understands how the brain changes.”
