Kim has been a beacon of light through the darkest time in my life. She helped me navigate through some difficult emotions while allowing me to naturally come to some conclusions on my own. I never once felt any judgment from her, only empathy and care. Her kindness, wisdom, and professionalism were exactly what I needed from a therapist.
Thank you Kim!
Written on Mar 30, 2023 after therapy with Kimberly for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and coping with life changes
It’s truly the best therapy I’ve experienced! I think what makes her so great is, it’s just like talking to your friend, not somebody taking notes with no personality. If I’m being honest I didn’t think it would work for me and my fear was being passed along to other therapists because you don’t “click” with them. I’m grateful and lucky I didn’t have to experience that. Don’t hesitate using online therapy, in my opinion it’s convenient, no commuting and stress free.
