About me

Hello I’m Kim and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work and I provide telehealth therapy in California. I am passionate about working with women 25+ and have experience working with every ethnic group. I would love the opportunity to help you gain insight into your situation and hope for your future.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will start with introducing ourselves in order to build a report. Next, you tell me your reason for participating in therapy. Together, we develop a plan to help you reach your treatment goal.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With 30+ years working in the social work profession, I have experience working with those suffering from depression, anxiety, and adverse life circumstances. I address crisis situations head on by helping clients develop solutions to their problems and manage the symptoms that impact their lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As an older woman I have life experience that compliments my educational background and expertise. I look forward to working with women who are dealing with complicated life challenges and have never participated in therapy before. As a Christian, I am aware of how your religion plays a part in your identity.
