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. I am honored to be able to be here to support and empower you on this journey.

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.

She’s incredibly helpful
I have enjoyed working with her. Her experience has been helpful.
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.
She is absolutely an amazing therapist. Great listener and gives you the necessary tools to be successful.
