Hey there- I'm Kim. I am currently taking NEW REFERRALS! Is anxiety ruling your life? Past trauma crippling you? Are you feeling overwhelmed by your daily routine and under-whelmed by the activities that once lit your soul on fire? Are you struggling to reach that work – life balance others seem to manage so freely? Let’s work together to identify the source of your unhappiness, low self-esteem, depression or anxiety. I’d like to walk with you while you rediscover your strengths and develop healthy, solution-focused strategies that will ultimately help you to reclaim the polished version of your best self. I want to make your self-doubt disappear. I want you to feel empowered. We will use traditional talk therapy along with components of other evidenced-based therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs and situation. Allow me to get to know you so I can safely guide you through a journey of growth and self-discovery.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My hope is that you will feel "lighter" after your first session. During your first session, we will discuss your expectations and talk about your personal goals for therapy.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
One size does not fit all. Your needs will determine your treatment journey; however, I always begin on a client-centered platform. I will bring in various treatment methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-focused, or Attachment based therapy. I will offer you a menu of hands-on tools and support your efforts to practice them with me.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I specialize in guiding individuals through anxiety and depression by integrating positive psychology to foster hope and resilience, CBT to challenge and reframe negative thought patterns, and DBT to enhance emotional regulation and mindfulness skills. My approach and goal is to empower you and to help you build a toolkit for lasting mental wellness.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with teenagers through adults and with any gender. I have also spent many years counseling all ranks of the military and worked closely with those who have experienced trauma, including military sexual trauma (MST).
