LICSW, 15 years of experience
Hello! I am a licensed mental health therapist in the jurisdictions of Maryland, Florida and Washington, DC. I received my Master's from Howard University and have been practicing for over 10 years. I help youth and adults with life issues and transitions, relationship imbalances, pregnancy/infertility and child-rearing, grief and trauma events. I also have a background in addictions, working with veterans and the lgbtq community.
In the initial session, clients will get to share about themselves, review and complete the intake forms, answer some standard questions and then discuss why they are seeking therapy. From this information and exchange a treatment plan will be developed and discussed before moving forward.
Having worked so long in the field, I have an ability to listen and hone in on the main issues that are truly disturbing my clients. I am someone that tends to offer therapeutic support and encouragement that is practical and encouraging.
I love working with young adults who are seeking to improve their emotional lives and who choose to heal from childhood issues and trauma. I enjoy working with both men and women who are orphans or simply feeling alone and need help creating a balanced life. I enjoy working with widows and seniors seeking to find community as well.
Throughout my practice, I have found that CBT hs been beneficial with most of my clients. Once they can understand the correlation between their thinking and their behavior, they begin to feel empowered.
Once I get to know my clients needs and tendencies I work to choose the most natural modality for that client.

Kim is amazing! She listens to all my ramblings and makes me feel better. She's so kind and always has the right thing to say (even if I disagree at first). She's a wonderful counselor and someone I wish everyone could spend a few minutes with because she really does make a difference.

It was refreshing and it felt like some of the baggage that I was carrying was lifted and the weight became lighter.
