Hello! My name is Kimberly and I am so excited to work with you! I have been in the field of mental health, addiction and wellness for 22 years. I provide a safe, confidential and nonjudgmental space that will allow you to truly be yourself and work through your “stuff” in your own way. This journey may not be easy, but it is worth it! It’s your time and your therapeutic process…I am your guide. Let's take the journey to wellness, wholeness and transformation together! I am both a licensed clinical therapist and a certified master life coach. I am clinically trained to treat and assess various mental health disorders. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, as well as, addressing spirituality and cultural issues through individual, couples, family and group counseling sessions. I have experience working with individuals from all age groups, as well as, various ethnic, cultural and spiritual backgrounds. I believe in treating the whole person: mind, body and spirit. I can’t wait to help you on this journey of healing and wellness.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored made treatment plan to serve as the blueprint for ongoing sessions.
I believe that my biggest strengths are anxiety, trauma, relationships, spiritual and cultural issues, career and life adjustments.
CBT is a technique that focuses on changing unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. It helps eradicate negative beliefs and to move more positive thinking and behaviors.
Person-centered practices focus on each person's abilities and strengths, including natural supports, so that he or she can maintain or work toward overall self-improvement.
This focus leads therapist and client toward strategies that promotes the awareness, acceptance, expression, utilization, regulation, and transformation of emotion as well as corrective emotional experience with the therapist. The goals of EFT are strengthening the self, regulating affect, and creating new meaning.
In Strength-based therapy, the client is the storyteller. The story may include trauma, pain, and stressors from the past or present. The therapist encourages the client to have the mindset of a survivor rather than a victim.
DBT focuses on helping people accept the reality of their lives and their behaviors, as well as helping them learn to change their lives, including their unhelpful behaviors.
