About me

Hi! I am a Licensed Social Worker in the state of Florida. I have over 20 years experience working in mental health (individual and group therapy) and in a hospice setting. I have experience working with adults suffering from depression, anxiety, anger, medical illness, caregiver role strain, grief, loss, relationship issues and so much more. I received my Bachelors of Science from the University of Connecticut in 1992 and my Masters of Social Work from Barry University in 2000. I am also certified in a Hospice and Palliative Social Worker.

Seeking out help is a hard first step to take when you are dealing with things that are difficult. I'm here to help you identify what areas you want to work on . I will support you and provide you with the tools that you will need to take the steps to make changes within yourself and your life to reach your goals. I provide a nonjudgmental environment where you can safety explore your feelings.

You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I encourage journalizing and utilize worksheets between sessions so that you can continue to work on your personal growth in between sessions. I check my messages several times throughout the day, seven days per week. I offer messaging, live chat, phone sessions and video sessions.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I look forward to working with you!

I have really enjoyed my live chat sessions with Mrs Kimberly. It’s nice to confirm things in my life from someone who isn’t in it. I also like to hear her perspective on things.

Loved my time with Kim. She was very understanding of my needs and what worked for me and what didn’t. She’s very nonjudgemental and open, would recommend to anyone who is trying to dip their toes into therapy.
