Life can be challenging, stressful, and uncertain—and it can also be meaningful, joyful, and beautiful. When you’re not feeling your best, or when you want to explore long-standing patterns, I offer a space where we can work together to bring more clarity, purpose, and fulfillment into your life. As a clinician, I’m highly adaptable and collaborative. Sometimes our work may be proactive and focused on addressing current challenges; other times, we may go deeper to explore the roots of patterns that have been with you for some time.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I specialize in therapy for adults. While I'm trained and qualified to work with a range of presenting problems, I specialize in individual therapy and I'm experienced with relational and emotional issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, behavioral disorders, and substance abuse issues. I believe the foundation of therapy is just two people conversing with one another in a safe and supportive environment. The key difference between therapy and other relationships is that the focus is on you, and I have specialized training that helps me to foster therapeutic transformation.

To fix a problem you first need to know what the problem is, and self-awareness is key in this process.

I will be by your side as you examine whatever stumbling blocks are interfering with your journey at the moment. Together we will look at your structures, beliefs, stories and habits. Are they serving you or are they getting in the way of your growth, relationships and life experience?

I have been a psychotherapist since 1989. My goal is to help my clients identify the thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that get in the way of having a more deeply satisfying life. My first role is to develop a safe container free of judgment where my client and I can move into a space of curiosity about their lives and their right to have a more deeply satisfying life. WE work together to see the stumbling blocks that they have created, either in their thoughts, behaviors, or emotional difficulties that block them from having more peace and joy in their lives.

Hi there, I'm Kimberly! Life really can get better! If you're experiencing feelings of hopelessness or just tired of being stuck, let's work together to break through any barriers that prevent you from having the quality of life you desire and deserve! I don't believe in half-measures or band-aids, but skeleton keys. That is, I suspect that you have tried all of the symptom relief methods you could find on the internet, which produced temporary change and ultimately, relapse. Until you get to the core of what is motivating your behavior and thinking, symptoms will continue to reemerge or simply change form. I am here to help you.
