I grew up in the Cleveland area and then came to Michigan where I completed my Bachelor's degree at Hope College where I studied social work. While in school I completed a field placement working as a probation officer and spent time in Mental Health and Sobriety Treatment Court. After graduation, my now husband and I moved back to Cleveland where I completed my Masters in Social Work with a specialization in Health Studies at Case Western Reserve University. While in school I completed internships with the Cleveland Clinic in their Adolescent Psychiatric Unit as well as an interdisciplinary internship at Care Alliance. Following graduation, I worked in admissions for psychiatric and detox services for six years. I then wanted to expand my skill set and pursued a position providing therapy to health care employees as an EAP counselor at a local hospital system. I found that I really love the opportunity to get to know my clients and to walk alongside them on their journey.

I’m especially passionate about women’s and maternal mental health and creating a space where women feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported. I’m the founder of Selah Maternal Wellness, a virtual private practice where I work with women navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, relationships, identity, pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and the everyday challenges that come with carrying so many roles. While maternal mental health holds a special place in my heart, my work is not limited to motherhood. I welcome women in all stages of life who are looking for a space to slow down, reconnect with themselves, build on their strengths, and create meaningful change. My approach is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and focused on meeting you where you are. I also offer Christian counseling and faith-based therapy for women who would like to incorporate their faith into their healing journey, while always honoring each client’s individual beliefs and preferences. The name Selah reflects much of what I hope to offer through this work—a moment to pause, reflect, breathe, and reconnect. As women, we can spend so much time caring for everyone and everything around us that we forget we need care, too! Beyond individual therapy, I offer local workshops and group sessions to help women and moms connect, learn, and build supportive community. I’m also currently working toward my PMH-C certification to deepen my ability to support women throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Whether through individual therapy, faith-based support, workshops, or groups, my hope is for Selah to be a place where women can pause, feel supported, reconnect with who they are, and know they don’t have to navigate life alone.

I am kind yet straightforward with a little humor thrown in as well. Life can get overwhelming, and it can help to laugh at ourselves sometimes to lighten the burden. I offer trauma-informed therapy that is supportive, honest, and down to earth. I use proven approaches to help you process painful experiences, manage emotions, and build healthier patterns. Starting therapy can be intimidating, but you do not have to figure it out alone. If you’re ready for a space where you can feel seen and heard, supported, and gently challenged, I’d love to connect. Taking that first step can lead to healing, clarity, and real change. I offer a space where you can feel safe being vulnerable at your own pace.

Hi, I'm Kim! First, I know how hard it can be to search for a therapist, so I want to acknowledge that if you are here, you are making a big step. Whether you choose to work with me or another therapist, I wish you the best as you begin or continue your therapy journey. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision Designation in Ohio, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Alabama. I have experience as an individual therapist, family therapist, parent coach, and group facilitator. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Practice, and Strengths-based approach, however, I bring in many elements of evidence-based practice to meet clients needs. I work with clients around anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, relationships, and overall skill building. I believe that change can happen quickly and I often work with clients on targeted goals with a solutions-focused approach. I truly believe that therapy is collaborative. I feel deeply honored to work with my clients and to witness their progress. I work to create a safe, calm, and positive therapy space for clients to explore their challenges and practice new ways of relating to those challenges. ***I am currently accepting clients interested in short-term therapy. Short-term therapy averages between 12-20 sessions and utilizes evidenced-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solutions Focused Brief Therapy to support a client's therapeutic goals in a focused, targeted manner.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
