More about Kimberly

If we think of our lives as journeys, every journey has highlights and pain points… and every experience in between. Despite the pain that can happen as we live our lives, there are ways to enjoy an emotionally satisfying and meaningful life.

With over 20 years of clinical practice, I am confident we can find those ways together. My experience includes working with individuals, couples and families who wish to overcome personal and relationship challenges. These challenges often include experiencing depression, anxiety, loneliness, problems with using alcohol or other substances, life changes, loss and grief, stress, conflict and trauma.

Because every person is unique, our work together will reflect what best fits you. Here’s how we will do it: I partner with you by listening to you and learning about you and your goal (or goals). I help you understand where you are in relation to your goal, what best motivates you and how to proceed. This is meaningful and worthy work and I am thrilled about being a part of your continued journey.

Are you ready to take your next step? Let’s take it together!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
