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.

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.

I have enjoyed working with her. Her experience has been helpful.

Reviewed March 2023

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.
