Welcome! Whether you are struggling with a temporary setback, or an ongoing problem, I can assist you. There is HOPE. It is my belief that, as human beings, we all face life challenges, be they relational, personal, emotional, spiritual, or physical, and our mental health affects how we respond to these challenges. I offer individual, couples, and family counseling for youth (age 10+) and adults. Together, we will discover new meaning in your experiences, while identifying opportunities for healing and growth. Therapy varies in length of time depending on your unique story, worldview, personality and needs.
Establishing relationship is critical to successful therapeutic outcomes. My style of work with clients is interactive, collaborative, direct, and reflective of my focus on the transforming power of relationships. You will be an active participant in the therapeutic process. My theoretical approach is eclectic, solution oriented, and strength based.
I believe that engaging in the process of psychotherapy with clients is a great honor. I value establishing a safe, honest, and trusting therapeutic relationship. If you are in need of a seasoned, genuine, non-judgmental, and respectful counselor, who seeks to empower you to overcome your challenges and transform your life, please contact me.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Good therapist helped me when I was in need
Kimberly is a wonderful therapist who hears me but offers healing strategies instead of just a sounding board.
This is the most effort I have ever put into myself. My therapist makes it easy for all about everything and has helped me realize how to go about my anxiety fears and frustration in a healthy manner and learn to deal with what life throws at me. She is an excellent therapist.
Kimberly is a calm kind and very competent therapist. She was quick to help me identify areas I could work on and she offered ongoing support between sessions. I’m grateful to her.
Kimberly is saving my life. Is there anything other I can say about her? Volumes of course but all of her wonderful qualities equate to saving my life by teaching me how to heal. Kimberly is a good person.
Kimberly is a good therapist, she has provided so many resources to help me on journey, some of them I have implemented. They have made such a difference in my everyday life and happiness. If you want a gentle and reassuring soul to help you uncover the beautiful soul you where mean to be beyond the trauma you’ve experience, I would recommend her highly.
Kimberly is very very sweet and understanding!! I have such a smooth experience when talking to her. She listens, she gives advices and wonderful homework that actually help a lot! Totally recommend! <3
Kimberly has had my back since day one and she always has encouraging words to say. She is not biased in her opinions and it comes from a place of expertise and knowledge. She's been incredibly helpful on my journey and I couldn't thank her enough.
