More about Kimberly

- LMHC
Hi. I'm a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years experience. I've worked with adolescents to older adults, victim's of crime to inmates, people with one diagnosis to those with co-occurring disorders, in the outpatient and inpatient setting, with individuals and groups. I spent several years as a rape crisis and trauma recovery therapist at a local Community Mental Health Center; so most of my experience has been in the non-profit arena.
I'm passionate about women's issues but I enjoy working with all different kinds of people and problems and my treatment approach reflects that. I use an eclectic variety of theories to help people. I enjoy challenging clients to challenge themselves, to learn and grow. I find cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to broadly be the most effective approach but sometimes dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) or client-centered works best. Sometimes people have what they need to get things worked out and just might need a solid sounding broad; to offer support by just listening & normalizing what they're going through.
Whatever the need may be, my goal is to offer a supportive and safe space to address it. I start by meeting the client where they are and continue by working collaboratively with them to achieve their goals. I strive to empower them, by building on the strengths they already have and providing the skills and tools they may be missing. I enjoy helping people be their whole and authentic self!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She's amazing. She has a marvelous way of wording things so that they resonate with me.
Kimberly is truly one of the most, if not THE most, compassionate, supportive and helpful providers I have ever worked with. I feel truly blessed to have been connected with her. With her help, I began to resolve a lot of grief and began to let go of some things I've had trouble with for years. Highly recommend!!
She understands what my concerns are and is working with me to have a plan to address my concerns. Very easy to talk to, I feel super comfortable around her, I'm glad and thankful she is my therapist.
Kimberly tells it like it is. Something I really respect in a counselor. She helps me through completed situations with an honesty that can bought. I just really appreciate her:
Great listener and advisor
Kimberly is one of the best people ever met, she's listens, she's understanding, but most importantly she listens and she does not judge. Now does that mean that she's a pushover, she will hold you accountable to certain things that you say and reassure you or reframe things in a correct manner. But I like her because I can tell that she's genuine and what she's saying, she may sugarcoat it but it's still the truth and that's why I respect the most.
I started talking to a Kimberly at one of the most precarious times in my life. I cannot recommend her strongly enough to those who are working through traumatic events in their lives. Additionally she makes herself available via chat on a very reasonable schedule. I wish I could continue seeing her when I move out of state.
