Welcome! My name is Kim, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of clinical experience and I believe therapy is a place where you can feel truly heard, supported, and empowered to grow. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, which means I draw from different techniques and perspectives to best fit your unique needs and goals. I bring a warm, down-to-earth style to our work together, meeting you where you are and helping you navigate life’s challenges with compassion and hope. My goal is to create a safe and caring space where you feel comfortable to be yourself and move towards the changes you want in your life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we’ll take some time to get to know each other. I’ll start by sharing a bit about how I work, and I’ll invite you to share whatever you feel comfortable with about yourself. We’ll go through an initial assessment, which includes some general questions to help me understand what you’re experiencing and what brings you to therapy at this time. This is also a chance for you to ask me any questions about the therapy process. Most importantly, our first session is about creating a comfortable space where you feel safe, heard, and supported. From there, we’ll begin building a plan that feels right for you and your goals moving forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to connect with you in a safe and supportive manner so that you feel heard and understood. I practice with compassion and authenticity to help you create the change in your life you are seeking whether it is talking through a difficult situation, reducing troubling symptoms, improving self-esteem or processing and resolving trauma.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, or trauma, I'm a good fit for you. I have over 20 years of clinical experience to help you explore the things that hold you back from being a better, healthier version of yourself. Utilizing evidence-based therapy models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed CBT, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Person Centered Therapy, I provide a safe, supportive environment for clients who are motivated to change and interested in tapping into their own inner strengths.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is one of the most highly effective evidence-based therapies for reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, marital issues and disordered eating. I use CBT to help my clients understand the connection between their thoughts and feelings with the goal of reducing unwanted behaviors. CBT enhances and improves problem-solving skills and overall quality of life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is another evidence based therapy that is effective in addressing very intense emotions and is usually combined with CBT to help clients learn how to change unhelpful behaviors so they can live more fulfilling lives.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy is a type of therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy. It helps clients identify dysfunctional thoughts and learn how to choose different ones instead which serve them better. With MBT, we can decrease stress, reduce automatic responses and improve overall daily functioning and quality of life.

When I was looking for a therapist, Kim’s message stood out to me more than any of the others. Choosing her was one of the best decisions I’ve made. She truly feels like a blessing in my life. Her warmth, intelligence, and straightforward yet deeply caring approach are exactly what I needed. She makes it easy to open up and feel understood. Kim genuinely wants to know who you are at your core, and that care shows in how thoughtfully she helps guide you toward where you want to be.

I had worked with Kim when she was with another company. That company became hard to work with as far as my insurance was concerned and I had to stop. I was really glad to find out she had moved to another company! There was 2 yrs between visits but I found her again and now I can work with her and Grow !!
