About me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) that specializes in complex trauma and personality disorders. I also have extensive experience working with those who struggle with mood disorders, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and substance abuse. I have training in various modalities to address the specific needs of my clients. I believe in the importance of connections with others, with ourselves, and with our environment. I believe that we can heal from past experiences and find balance in our lives. I believe that we all have the abilities to find meaning, purpose and live the best quality of life possible.

Get to know me

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

During our initial session you will expect me to discuss the nature of what therapy is and how it can benefit you in your journey. I will also discuss confidentiality and limits due to mandated reporting. I hope that I can provide you with an idea of who I am and what my therapeutic styles are. Most importantly I want to ensure that you feel comfortable and safe to be able to open up and share. I want to get to know you are an individual and how I can best support and help guide you to your goals in treatment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe in building healthy trust and boundaries with my client. Establishing a strong rapport between the client and therapist is essential to the therapeutic process. Providing a safe space for the client to explore vulnerabilities and welcome the healing process in a therapeutic environment. I believe it is important to be attune to my client, challenge them when needed, and validate their thoughts and feelings to allow growth and healing in their journey.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I believe that we all have our story and challenges in life. I also believe we all have personal strengths that will help guide us through our challenges. I believe in healing and understanding how our past experiences, connections with others, the environment, and within ourselves affect who we are today. We are all human beings trying to navigate this life we have. It is my hope that I can be a part of your growth and healing.

I have been going to sessions with Kimberly for about a month now and have felt consistent growth. She helps you set goals and really delves into connecting with you where you are at, as well as deepening your connections with those you care most about. I thoroughly enjoy my sessions with her and look forward to them every week. I definitely recommend her if you want a therapist that is funny, warm, inviting, and shows true investment in you and your growth.

My 1st session with Kim made me feel right at home and I know that I will feel well guided as we continue our sessions. She is very person centered, warm, and you can tell she truly cares about her clients. Connecting and opening up to her felt easy. Plus she has a great sense of humor! I am very excited to have found her and to start my journey with her!
