Hi, I’m Kim. So glad you’re here.

I want therapy to feel like a place you actually want to be, whether that’s somewhere to process and feel heard or to work through heavy past experiences using trauma-informed therapies.

I have a Bachelor’s in Behavioral Neuroscience and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’ve worked with both children and adults, including those with foster care and adoption backgrounds, as well as individuals navigating eating disorders and complex trauma.

With my background, I love helping people understand how their brains have adapted to survive and how those patterns can begin to shift toward healing. Often, it’s not “you,” but your brain doing what it learned to do to protect you.

I work with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, life transitions, and more.

Depending on what you're navigating, I may incorporate attachment and inner child work for relationship struggles, mindfulness and DBT skills to build emotional regulation, and a client-centered, strengths-based approach to support your growth and empowerment. For trauma work, we’ll explore whether EMDR or IFS could be a good fit for you.

I love helping clients feel more comfortable recognizing and expressing their emotions. It's often harder than it sounds, but building a healthier connection to your inner world can lead to more meaningful and healthier connections with others.

When we go through something physically or emotionally overwhelming, our brains can shift into survival mode. I aim to create a space where you can reconnect with yourself in the present and discover what helps you feel grounded and safe.

In our first session, we’ll explore your current needs and expectations for therapy. I may incorporate humor and a down-to-earth approach to help create a safe, comfortable space where you can begin your healing journey. We'll work together to develop a collaborative treatment plan tailored to your goals.
