With 30 years of licensed counseling experience, I have been fortunate enough to work with combat military for the last ten. Trauma is my specialized focus, but I also gain fulfillment from working with individuals regarding anger, depression, grief and loss, anxiety, addiction, coping with lifespan transition, couples therapy, and generational trauma. Together we will tailor a treatment plan to meet your specific and unique needs. You already have the courage it takes to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life. I am honored to be able to be here to support and empower you on this journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She’s incredibly helpful
I have enjoyed working with her. Her experience has been helpful.
Kimberly’s been fantastic. 1000x better than any previous therapy experience. I’m someone that needs a plan of action, things to focus and/or work on, and she provides them in meaningful ways. She listens, understands, and is supportive. I always used to think I was unfixable, but with Kimberly’s help, I’m realizing that that isn’t true, and can feel myself making a turn for the better.
She is absolutely an amazing therapist. Great listener and gives you the necessary tools to be successful.
