I appreciate that Kimberly asked both sides relevant question and gave us time to reflect on the answers given. She was soft spoken and was direct. Highly recommend!

Kimberly really shows her compassion for what she's doing. Her words are direct, yet, reassuring & empathetic. She focuses on what you are feeling in that moment, after that moment & following up within a grace amount of time after that moments end. Kimberly is friendly & is not afraid to have you questioning yourself. All in good ways. Embracing therapy was the best decision ever. Having Kimberly as my first time therapist, is a blessing. She's amazing.
