Kimberly is so kind and listens carefully. She doesn't just listen, she gives feedback and solutions to the problems. She is good at asking pertinent questions and my answers gave me insight into the reason I was having issues. I had forgotten many past incidents that had a bearing on my problem. She is the first provider that has truly helped me. I highly recommend her.

I was really anxious going into my first session, but she made it feel like a safe space right away. Even during the intake, I felt heard and not judged, which made it easier to open up about things I’ve been holding in. I’m looking forward to continuing.
