An effective partnership is the key to any therapeutic relationship. You can and will get better if you work on your personal situation with a trained therapist. The more honest you can be, the better your improvement. I will be at your side, developing trust and empathizing with your experience. Tell me if something isn't working or you're afraid. All I want from our relationship is to help you feel heard and change how you feel. My other areas of focus include PTSD, trauma-informed treatment, somatic complaints, and integrated medical care.

Why our members love working with Kim
B.N.
Good experienceKim is a wonderful empathetic person. She has helped me not just in ERP but in opening my understanding in ways I had not thought of. She has made me laugh and cry. She has improved my life so much and has been a blessing to me. I will always be grateful for the support and kindness she has shown me in such a difficult time in my life.
M.B.
Good experienceI’ve been in and out of therapy for most of my life and never had much success with it until now. While I’m still pretty new to ERP, I’ve been so grateful to have Kim’s support through the process. She’s kind and approachable while also challenging me and holding me accountable to my goals.
L.M.
Good experienceI feel so much better after working with Kim. I am incredibly grateful to her for helping me live my life again.
K.D.
Good experienceKim is a kind, compassionate listener who takes the time to get to know you as a client and forms a genuine bond. She cares about your growth and healing.
M.M.
Good experienceI honestly don’t know how I did day-to-day before having Kim as my therapist. Not only is she understanding and knowledgeable, she is— above all else— sincere, and genuinely wants those she’s working with to feel heard, seen, and understood. I’ve done years and years of therapy, and working with Kim has been by far and away the best experience I’ve had. I cannot recommend or thank her enough!
K.C.
Good experienceKim is wonderful and under her guidance my life has changed drastically. I can function, I have a toolbox full of coping skills, and I’ve made more progress than I actually thought I was capable of. I’m so grateful to her!
A.S.
Good experienceKim is fantastic! I’m sad she’s not trained in the specific therapy that I need.
