About me
Hello, My name is Kimberly. I am a heart-centered therapist who is dedicated to helping my clients to find balance and purpose in their lives. When we open ourselves to the question of "What would love have me do for myself and others?" we begin healing our hearts. When we heal our hearts, we clear out the darkness caused by trauma, limited beliefs, circumstances of birth and the stressors of post-modern living. If given the opportunity, I'd like to be a guide on your journey. As a teaching counselor, I've worked in a variety of settings ranging from community mental health, residential settings, agencies, schools, refugee camps and private practice. I have 12 years of experience counseling teens and adults who are struggling with trauma, OCD, depression, anxiety, codependency, women’s issues, domestic violence, and more. I am also fluent in Spanish. I utilize EMDR, ERP, DBT, Mindfulness, CBT, IFS and holistic practices to create a unique healing experience for you. If you feel drawn to who I am and what I do, please reach out and contact me.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
You can expect a smiling face and a calm voice with a strong listening presence. I will give you the opportunity to ask basic questions and confirm your demographic information. I then get out of the way and allow you to tell your story of why you chose to seek help. We then work collaboratively to set therapeutic expectations such as goals and how I can best work with you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What makes me highly effective as a counselor is that passionate about my role as a healer of the mind and heart. It is through actively healing my wounds and traumas that I have gained a deeper perspective of the hopes and fears that a client may experience.
