A bit about my approach to therapy

My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each client’s lived experience. I believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel truly heard, supported, and empowered to take an active role in their healing. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, and a culturally responsive lens to help clients explore the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors — and to build practical tools for navigating life’s challenges.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients often describe me as compassionate, thoughtful, and direct when needed. Our work together will be collaborative and focused on building insight, resilience, and practical tools to help you thrive.

Kimberly's style is

Empowering
Solution-oriented
Open-minded
