LPCC, 18 years of experience
Hello there! I am a LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio. I received my Masters in Counseling in Cincinnati in 2007 and have been practicing the last 18 years. I have experience in schools, hospital, private practice and community mental health. My passion is to help those who have experienced trauma. We work together to move towards a life to thrive, and not just survive.
In our first session, my main priority is to create a climate of safety and comfort through introductions and seeing what you want in therapy, as well as what brought you here.
I am gentle, intuitive, patient, respectful, and kind. I meet each person where they are and I find joy in walking alongside people in need of support.
I love working with clients of all ages. My clients are those that want to move forward but tend to feel stuck in past experiences.
Trauma-informed therapy is a strengths-based approach that considers the effects of trauma on a person's well-being and ability to cope. It aims to help people re-establish control of their lives by prioritizing safety and promoting healing. Trauma-informed therapy differs from traditional therapy in that it integrates trauma awareness into every aspect of treatment.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of psychotherapy that helps people identify and accept different parts of themselves that make up their mental system. The goal of IFS therapy is to help people heal from trauma by moving toward living from their true selves.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy that helps people process and heal from distressing memories, often associated with trauma. Traumatic events can lead to memories not being fully processed which then leads to distressing symptoms. This treatment method facilitates the brain's inherent system to process the trauma.

I love Kim’s approach to listen with a loving heart. She seems to really get me and understand my challenges. She is kind, intelligent, and sincere. I feel we are in tune with each other. She has helped me immensely and we’ve just begun. We share a strong faith in God. We lean on Him for my healing. I am so grateful He brought Kim into my life when I needed her.

Kim was so open and uplifting. She listened to me and prompted me to answer questions I had not thought about. I feel we connected. I look forward to many more sessions. It was a wonderful first session.
