Hi, I'm Kim. :) My therapeutic approach centers around individuality and celebrating differences. People are complex beings and therapy is not "one size fits all."

I believe humans are capable of incredible resiliencies and have the full capacity to achieve positive change in their lives. By taking a step towards achieving wellness, you have found yourself looking into counseling. Congratulations, this is a big step!

It is the obligation of the client to truly participate, both in session and in real life, to reap the full benefit of any therapy or practice.

Life can be hard - you don’t have to struggle alone! The decision to be open to begin therapy is a major step forward.

I provide a safe nonjudgmental space where you can feel supported, and empowered as you go on this journey.

I support individual adults (18+) in addressing challenges, some of which include healing and wellness from depression, anxiety, trauma (generational/PTSD/racial), life transitions, stress, low self-esteem, and cultural and relationship challenges. In doing so, I utilize person-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed, and systemic approaches in therapy with specific techniques from ACT, narrative, DBT, CBT, and EMDR. Clients can expect unconditional care, a sense of authenticity, respect for their unique story, and yes, even a space for humor when participating in one of my sessions.

Some days you may not want to feel so weighted; your head to not race; your intimate partner to not be that passing ship; or so moved by compulsion. You may just need some safe space to figure it all out. This can be your sorting place. My goal is to help you better identify and understand your symptoms and improve overall coping. You are an individual, not a cookie cutter, so your treatment approach will be unique to your needs, and each person's journey is individual. Through goal setting, we can help you to develop decisions congruent with the life you want. I use CBT, ACT, mindfulness, & Gottman Method (completed Level 1 & 2).

My goal is to help you be more kind to yourself, and to help you find your authentic self so you can live the life you want.

“No matter how difficult it may be, nothing sounds as good to the soul as the truth” – Martha Beck If you are looking for a safe place to stop your circular thinking, to open up, and say it out loud, then this is your invitation to do so. A label you may identify with or are wondering about is: anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, neurodivergence, heartbreak, divorce, career confusion, or relationship struggles. These labels can increase our self-understanding or keep us stuck. For couples struggling with lack of connection, poor communication, infidelity, or phase of life issues, take the risk and get busy fighting for what you have.
