You are a woman who is yearning for a different life where you feel less scared, more connected, and more confident. I genuinely understand how hard it can be and am here to help. My name is Kimberly and I am deeply invested in supporting women like you who are facing raw and real challenges including the effects of past traumas, unhealthy relationships, and struggles to get emotional needs met.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will begin to create a safe environment for you to express your needs, concerns, and goals, helping me understand your reasons for seeking therapy. This session serves as the first step toward us developing trust and rapport fostering a collaborative and empowering space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Through an integrative approach, you'll learn coping skills, including exploring the mind-body connection for holistic healing. Our work together will offer new ways to manage challenges, with occasional humor, active engagement, and always a sense of hope.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My authenticity, deep empathy, ability to truly hear you, and my heartfelt compassion are my greatest strengths. I see your strength even when you don't, and my goal is to help you reclaim your power and belief in yourself. I am inspired when women are able to begin feeling hopeful, safe, validated, seen, and understood.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I help women of all ages who grapple with chronic worries, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion learn to recognize and embrace their personal power, reclaim control over their lives, and face each new day with confidence rather than fear. While my clients are eager to heal, they often require support in recognizing the underlying issues and understanding their root causes. Through our work together, they develop increased awareness, decreased daily distress, and internalize their strengths through the use of new coping skills.

Trauma Informed Care
Acknowledging the profound impact of trauma, I approach my work with deep empathy and a nuanced understanding of its complexities. Throughout my experience, I've witnessed countless women, initially unsure of the possibility of healing, undergo transformative journeys that surpassed their own expectations. It has been a privilege to be part of their process, witnessing the incredible resilience that emerges when met with genuine support and understanding.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) providing women effective tools to identify, challenge, and reframe negative thought patterns. For women navigating trauma, anxiety or depression, CBT serves as a powerful ally, aiding in breaking free from the weight of past experiences and cultivating more empowering ways of thinking.
Strength-Based
In my work, rather than solely concentrating on challenges, I emphasize and highlight your inherent strengths, resilience, and coping mechanisms. By acknowledging and maximizing these positive aspects, we collaboratively navigate the path to healing. This approach has empowered numerous women I have worked with to enhance their existing capabilities, cultivating a sense of agency and confidence in their healing journey. Together, we have explored and harnessed their strengths as potent tools to overcome challenges, laying the groundwork for lasting transformation.
