When these challenges and undesirable stressors occur, we may need a little extra support and clarity. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, abuse histories, issues with self-esteem, and family conflict.

Every person on the earth needs to feel safe, valued, loved, and respected. My job as a therapist is to help clients tap into their God-given skills, abilities, and strengths to discover the jewel hidden beneath all the pain, depression, anxiety, and loss. People need to know their life has a purpose, and when they win and overcome, they give others hope and courage that they can do the same. The goal is freedom and the ability to live the life God intended. We will laugh, cry, and scream if necessary.

I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals and couples explore how early attachment experiences shape current stress, burnout, self-doubt, and relational patterns. Together, we uncover how attachment wounds may show up at work or in relationships, build self-awareness, and develop healthier ways to cope, connect, and communicate. Clients often notice stronger boundaries, improved confidence, and a renewed sense of balance in both personal and professional life.

Through my own journey of development, I discovered a passion for helping others in dealing with the frailties of the human condition. Allow me to help you find the beauty in vulnerability. I have worked with a wide range of clientele and diagnoses. I have worked primarily with adults and adolescents. I have worked with people struggling with addictions, and have experience working with communities of color and dealing with issues of discrimination, as well as experience working with the LGBTQIA community. I can be of assistance with the majority of daily struggles.

As we navigate our unique journey in life, sometimes additional support is needed along the way. My interactions with patients are grounded in compassion, respect, empathy, and an understanding of cultural impacts. My role as a counselor is to help educate and empower patients so that they develop the insight and skills necessary to overcome their own personal and situational challenges. Examining the core of your presenting symptoms can be challenging but you are worth the life changing experience. I work with couples, families, & individuals including adults and adolescents ages 14+.

Are you in need of some "Me Time"? Perhaps you are experiencing work-related stress, school-related stress, or increased responsibilities and conflicts within your family or social settings. Maybe you're a professional caregiver or family caregiver and trying to find a healthy work/life balance to decrease frustrations and burnout. No matter which category you fall into it can sometimes become overwhelming to say the least. You exert so much time and energy giving and being kind to others, which is great! I'm for it! But, listen up, "DON'T JUST BE KIND TO OTHERS, BE KIND TO YOURSELF"! In other words, self-care is important too.

In my more than a decade of counseling, I’ve frequently heard, “You’re the first person I’ve ever told that too” or “I’ve been too afraid to admit that until now”. It is after these freeing moments that the real work begins. One of the best things about counseling is that it provides a safe place where the truth can be told! If you are afraid to speak your truth, to be honest about your feelings, or to just keep it real, it impedes the healing process. I like asking the hard questions, guiding my clients through having the hard conversations and motivating them to make the hard decisions. Let's talk about the truth!

Hiii! I'm Kimberly! I am the Purpose Pusha'! Take a minute to imagine every dream you've wanted to come to life stolen from you by your past. That's truly heartbreaking, right? Now it's your time to take it back. Your past childhood trauma, current depression/anxiety or even your substance use doesn't define your future nor who you are but here's what your healing process will look like a little laughter, some tears, and discovering a new authentic you. My clients describe me as compassionate, personable, and authentic. Some even say G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) but I'm not bragging.

You've tried pushing through. You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, and maybe even spent months—or years—in therapy. Yet you still feel stuck.
If you're carrying unresolved childhood trauma, navigating a relationship crisis, healing from betrayal, or repeating painful relational patterns, you may not need more therapy—you may need more time.
I specialize exclusively in Accelerated Therapy Intensives for individuals and couples who are ready to move beyond the limitations of weekly therapy through focused, personalized, evidence-based care.

I am passionate about helping Black/ African American individuals, particularly women and adolescent girls, experience wholeness.
As a therapist and fellow human, I know firsthand how experiences with perfectionism and people-pleasing can impact our relationships with ourselves and others. Throughout my journey, and while partnering with others on theirs, I've realized that we thrive in spaces where our humanity, vulnerability, and authenticity are handled with gentleness and care. I'm committed to cultivating a space where you can (re)discover your authentic voice and value in life, as well as the strength found in vulnerability. I hope that we can collaboratively identify the people, places, and patterns that embrace, celebrate, and empower you.

I have a general practice focusing on clients with life’s adjustment, marriage & family issues, conditions unique to childhood & adolescence, coping with disabilities, trauma recovery, crisis intervention, stress management, and conflict resolution. I primarily approach counseling from a CBT perspective, however, I integrate theoretical approaches (including solution-focused, strengths-based and biblical principles), to better understand aspects of the clients’ problems for effectual treatment. I serve clients from ages 5 through adulthood regardless of their race, nationality, religion, gender, disability or sexual orientation.

I believe that the great thing about therapy is that people have room to grow, adults and children alike. I facilitate a therapeutic environment and a safe space for my clients to discuss both their struggles and their victories as they establish healthy boundaries while coping with life’s challenges. My counseling approach is guided by person-centered counseling. I focus on building rapport and establishing a therapeutic relationship with my clients while being original and authentic in my counseling process. Overall, utilizing empathy and unconditional positive regard to provide hope and support when it is needed most.

You may be keeping up with work and responsibilities while privately feeling anxious, discouraged, overwhelmed, or stuck. Perhaps your mind will not slow down, self-doubt is taking over, or a relationship, loss, or major life change has left you unsure what comes next. I work with people who want both a place to feel understood and practical help moving forward. Together, we will identify the patterns keeping you stuck, set clear goals, and take manageable steps toward feeling calmer, more confident, and more connected in your daily life.

Therapy can be like “peeling an onion.” Our struggles can feel so overwhelming that we don’t know where to begin, and taking steps to address them can bring discomfort. At times, you may even feel unsure of what to talk about in therapy or if it will even make a difference if you do it or not.
My approach reflects this process. No matter where you choose to start, we will peel the onion together. Each layer represents a personal or relational issue. Together, we will explore the layers, develop effective coping strategies, identify strengths, uncover your hopes and goals, and work towards lasting, positive change in your life.
