Ideally, therapy is a place in which you’re encouraged to reflect on your challenging experiences, process your emotions, and develop insight to support you in the future. A therapeutic relationship with an emphasis on understanding allows us to collaborate in a uniquely empathetic way and discuss what is most important to you.

Kimberly Diggles
Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Verified
I currently only offer online and in-home therapy. When we are in the midst of crisis we can question our abilities to overcome. Like quicksand, these self-defeating thoughts pull us even deeper into despair and we may become seduced by seclusion. Instead, I believe we should strive to accept our struggles as the catalysts that can bring us into closer connection with others and thus be more empowered to overcome. My practice of therapy involves helping people realize that to struggle is not unique and that connections with others during those times can be the difference between surrendering to weakness and reclaiming your strength.
