Hello! My name is Kim. Have you experienced trauma? Do you feel frustrated and stuck? Do you feel like you end up in the same place, over and over again, and can’t seem to figure out how to stop? Is it hard to love and accept yourself? I help those who struggle with the effects of trauma and who often feel anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed to find peace and healing. We will work together to find the roots of the issues and heal the wounds of the past. We’ll use a strength-based approach to address the whole self – spirit, soul, and body. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and meditation to develop a set of tools that you can use to build trust in and learn to love and accept yourself. No matter what you are experiencing – anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed – I’m here to help. It can be scary to ask for help, and I am proud of you for making this choice. You deserve to have a safe place where you can begin to heal and experience growth. During our time together, I will provide a model of love, compassion, and acceptance so that you can overcome the hurts, habits, and hang-ups that have been holding you back. I look forward to working with you!
In our first session together, we will start by getting to know each other to create a safe place for you to share your experiences. With this information, we will begin to develop a plan that will help you to heal from past trauma.
Having personally experienced trauma over the course of many years, I am intimately aware of how pervasive the negative effects of trauma can be. So many times, the symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction, and so many other issues can be related to the trauma we have experienced. Through my own journey, I have learned many tips and tools that have helped others who have experienced trauma to heal from the wounds of the past. I would love to be a part of your journey to healing and finding the peace that you have been searching for.
I have been using CBT with clients to help them recognize how their thoughts affect their actions and behaviors and to learn how to shift their thought processes to help them to achieve their goals.
