You can make the change you want. And I can help. I can assist you in transforming negative and destructive thoughts and behavior into more helpful and compassionate responses.

"I am not crazy," is the first thing many hear when thinking of mental health. Mental health is less about being crazy and more about over all well-being. Research shows that expressing ourselves can lead to positive change and better understanding of ourselves. During our journey together, I respect my clients by bringing in a culturally informed and non-judgmental lens, utilizing personal, religious/spiritual, and/or cultural strengths approach to healing. Together we will work on listening to our bodies and minds, integrating both in ways that bring positivity and restoration to ourselves and our relationships.

At various times in our life we find ourselves challenged to do just that as we struggle to make it through the day. Using a strengths-based perspective, I will collaborate with you to understand and confront your unique challenges and empower you to find the inner strength and resources to facilitate positive healing change so you can keep moving forward.

Do you often experience the following: feel like an outsider/burden, even in your own family; struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and setting boundaries; have a hard time knowing, understanding, and coping with your own (and others') feelings? Do you feel like you don't really know yourself, and feel unhappy or empty, even when things are going well? Or perhaps you're struggling to connect and communicate in your relationships, particularly with your family or significant other relationships. These are all common signs of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). Fortunately, CEN is treatable (and preventable)!

Hi, I'm Kim. :) My therapeutic approach centers around individuality and celebrating differences. People are complex beings and therapy is not "one size fits all." Open communication is important to me, so let's work together to figure out what is the most beneficial for you. Change is an exhausting journey and growth is never easy, but my goal is to create a safe space where your successes are celebrated and setbacks are met with compassion.

I believe that people need a therapist who has the ability to understand their experience. Once a person has the experience of being understood, a foundation is established to work through more vulnerable and difficult material. It is this proces of establishing a safe and understanding experience and working through of material that allows the possibility of change and the realization of one's true self and potentials.
