My name is Kim, and my passion is working with children, youth and families. I have experience working in child development centers, preschools, school districts, MCFD, CYMH, and non-profit agencies. My goal is to help individuals and their families heal through stressful and traumatic events. My practice is strength-based, where I encourage the client to share their personal narrative whether that is through words, art or play.

In order to maximize child and youth engagement I tailor my sessions to meet their unique needs.

Stress or anxiety can get a fierce grip on life, confusing the future and distancing us from relationships. I help men and women break free from the storm of stressed and anxious thinking. There are real and powerful tools to help us step back and recover our ability to feel focused and hopeful again. I work with understanding and acceptance because painful experiences and family history have affected us all, and each person's journey is unique and deserving of understanding.

Significant life events and transitions can throw anyone off their "best self." Our work together will help you regain a sense of balance and focus, identity, and belonging. I believe individuals are experts on themselves, and I walk beside my clients offering insight and resources that help them move toward the life they want to live.

Seeking counselling is usually motivated by discomfort. You may be experiencing feelings if deep sadness or anger bubbling below the surface. Perhaps you can’t quiet a ridiculously busy mind or obsessive thinking. It could be a physical manifestation—chronic aches and pains, difficulties with your partner or an intense nightmare you can’t shake. Whatever the motivation for reaching out, it is possible to feel better and live the life you love. My unique education offers a fresh perspective and keen insights into the difficulties of being human.

Accepting new clients. I operate from a Trauma-informed Integrative Counselling approach; What does that mean? Essentially, I take people as they are, and I use various methodologies and apply them to the person in front of me, I don’t think people fit a mould so why try to counsel from one? I hope to help those who come into my space to grow, learn, and better understand and accept themselves.

Challenges and unexpected events can overwhelm our sense and emotions. I strive to work with children, youth and families in an empathetic and client centered approach to help individuals and groups find hope and joy for the future. Children and youth who have experienced trauma may find it difficult to participate in traditional talk therapies. Rainbow of Hope uses a play therapeutic approach so clients can tell their stories and process their complex emotions. By learning how to tell their story they learn coping strategies that enables each client to see hope within their future.
