My name is Kim and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California and support clients state-wide via telehealth. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, life changes, adjustment issues, grief and loss and stress. I like to say my therapeutic approach is strength-based, colorful and holistic. I do not believe that one modality fits all, Because of this, I use a dynamic approach rather than rigidly adhering to one theory or method. I strive to cultivate a safe, calm, and non-judgmental space where you can be authentically yourself. I am warm and empathetic, yet honest and direct .
I specialize in anxiety and depression but also have extensive experience with severe and acute mental illness. I pull from components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and attachment based theory but utilize a variety of modalities that focus on individual needs.
Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
