Therapist

Virtual • California


Thanks for stopping by my page! I'm Kimberly, located in Southern California and have enjoyed a 20-year career in behavioral health. I specialize in working with women of all ages navigating life’s many transitions—from new motherhood and postpartum challenges to finding balance between career and family, and through the emotional and physical changes that come with pre- and post-menopause. I understand firsthand how these seasons can bring both joy and overwhelm.

Whether you’re returning to work after having a baby, learning how to care for yourself while caring for everyone else, or adjusting to the shifts that come with your body and hormones changing, you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to help you find steadiness, confidence, and peace as you navigate it all. I’m passionate about supporting women through anxiety, depression, and the ups and downs of motherhood and womanhood. Therapy is a space to rediscover yourself — not as who you “should” be, but as who you are becoming.
