Background
Cali is an athlete, advocate, and clinician at OCDI Texas. Cali's research focuses on competitive athletes with debilitating anxiety that negatively impacts their performance. As a Division I Athlete at Rice University, Cali won 9 conference championships and was named an honorable mention All-American in the 10k. Cali also competed in the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2020. Cali's own OCD diagnosis led her to a career path of providing evidence-based care. Cali hopes to help others with mental illness know that they are not alone, and that appropriate treatment is available to reobtain the joy that mental illness takes away.
