About me

It takes tremendous courage and strength to ask for help and allow another person into your life when you feel vulnerable and alone. It has been my honor to work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families for the past several years to promote healing and growth. I strongly believe in utilizing a strength-based approach that promotes a partnership between my clients and I so that we may achieve their personal goals together!
I specialize in diverse mental health concerns including, but not limited to trauma, behavioral issues, substance abuse/dependency disorders, bereavement, anxiety, depression, anger management, and interpersonal relationship issues. I originally completed my MS in Rehab Counseling in 2013 and my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in December of 2022 so that I may continue to effectively address my client's unique needs.

Kim has been very helpful to me in navigating through some stressful personal and relationship challenges. She's very well qualified but also compassionate and caring. I would gladly recommend her to anyone.

Written on Nov 14, 2020 after therapy with Kimberly for 5 months on issues concerning relationship issues

I have been in therapy and taking anti-anxiety/anti-depressant medication for many years. Earlier this year, I reached out to better help for some additional support due to COVID-19 challenges at work and home. She was responsive, understanding, supportive, and gave great practical advice and concrete strategies. I emerged from our sessions feeling like I could figure out how to deal better with my issues. Thank you, Kim.

Kim is a great listener, and I felt I'm getting her full attention and empathy throughout the session. It's extremely powerful to have that feeling, and opens up vulnerability. I appreciate the time Kim spent with me.

Kimberly is a breath of fresh air. She is an amazing listener, who’s ear and perfectly poised response, has at times brought me to tears of happiness/joy/acceptance. She also has the ability to tell it like it is. She has been the perfect balance of what I needed in a counsellor. I didn’t truly understand what I was looking for when originally searching, but I am so glad I picked Kimberly. Honestly, she has cleared my head and helped me see clearly again. Enabling me to make affirmative strides where necessary. I’m excited at the prospect that there is still further to come!
