We all go through difficult times in life when we feel stressed or unfulfilled. Sometimes we are able to manage challenges on our own and other times it can be beneficial to talk to a professional. It takes courage to reach out for support. You may be struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or low self-esteem. Therapy can help you manage intense emotions, feel more confident, foster deeper connections in relationships, and thrive in your professional pursuits. With a non-judgmental and caring listener, you can overcome obstacles and accomplish the changes you want to see.

You feel stressed, worried and at times angry as if there is a weight on your shoulders. This weight is affecting your family, friends and even your job. What you’re doing isn’t working anymore. Still you don’t think you should tell some stranger your problems, especially if they won’t get where you’re coming from or how you feel. But you want to make a change. If you are looking for a place to feel heard, someone who won’t judge you or just the relief of finally being able to share how you feel with someone who won’t look at you differently then I encourage you to take that chance. I welcome you, What’s on your mind?

Welcome! I work with individuals, children, adults, and couples experiencing life changes big and small. A hard loss, new baby, scary diagnosis, or a traumatic experience can all be sources of stress and can bring up lots of emotions. We will work through these events and reactions together, in a safe, non-judgmental, and fully supportive space. Even when it may seem impossible, I will support you to grow through the difficulties you’ve faced.

Are you feeling anxious and stressed? Do you have panic attacks? Do you feel parts of your life are out of control? If you live or work in the DMV area, you are very familiar with stress and anxiety. Chances are your work-life balance isn't at all balanced. Maybe you are a perfectionist always trying to do more. Maybe you are a people pleaser who struggles to say "No". Meaningful pursuits such as fulfilling relationships, staying healthy and personal interests can be hard to maintain. All these factors can intensify your level of stress and anxiety. There are a number of things we can do together to help you with these issues.

As a yoga therapist, I believe that each of us has the innate power to heal ourselves and that we also need lots of help along the way. I love yoga therapy because it's focused, personalized, and individualized care. The same sorts of problems that draw people to more traditional psychotherapy also bring people to yoga therapy - depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, disordered eating, trauma, and many other types of pain and suffering.

I utilize individual approaches when working with adults to address concerns related to phase-of-life difficulties, depression, anxiety, prolonged stress, and unresolved traumas. My overall goal as a psychologist is to help individuals develop skills and understanding to improve the quality of their life. The ideal client is an individual who is driven toward self-improvement, desires an end to their difficulties, accepts ownership of their behaviors and actions, and wants to identify the root cause of their current concerns and develop effective understanding and coping skills. www.drkimberlym.com

I am eager to work with adults who have experienced trauma and want therapy to look through how it has impacted them. Trauma can mean a lot to different people though whether that is from sexual assault, military combat, child abuse, cultural/religious abuse or loss of a loved one. What is important is that there was a meaningful shift you struggle to deal with, and I want to help. It also more than post-traumatic stress. You can also experience great sadness, daily stress or trouble in your relationships you do not understand.

As a lawyer-turned-therapist, I know the power of a good question. My clients are anxious professionals who have taken all the “right” steps only to wonder why they aren’t feeling satisfied. They share that I have helped them work through anxiety, insomnia, or stress from high-intensity careers. I enjoy helping people find sustainable work-life balance, in addition to moving through grief and loss. Whether it be the loss of a loved one, a career, or way of life, I can be a strong partner for you. My pragmatic approach is tailored and collaborative, helping you identify and implement strategies to both resolve and prevent problems.
