Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Do you want to feel better and work on making changes in your life? If so, I can help. My name is Kimberly and I am a licensed therapist and social worker. I have over 20 years experience and can transfer my expertise to work with populations of adults and children. I’ve been working as a social worker since graduating from the University of Tennessee in 2003, and I truly enjoy helping people navigate life’s challenges. Many of the individuals I work with are experiencing anxiety or depression and are looking for support, clarity, and practical ways to feel better. My therapy style is supportive and solution-focused. I draw from years of experience across different levels of mental health care to help clients identify meaningful goals and take steady, achievable steps toward them. My approach to therapy is practical and goal-oriented. Many people benefit from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which help identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and create meaningful change. Together, we focus on building effective strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and balance. In the first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your current concerns, your goals, and what you hope to gain from counseling. This is also a chance for you to ask questions and begin building a comfortable, collaborative relationship together.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
