About Kimberly
She brings about 18 years of experience to sessions and combines therapy with a health coaching perspective. That means conversations often cover thoughts, habits, and everyday routines alongside emotions. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change or understand better.
Kimberly uses approaches that support thinking patterns and present-moment coping. She draws on methods that help people rework unhelpful thoughts, build new habits, and process painful memories. Work in the room mixes talking, skill practice, and planning for real-life situations.
The therapist sees grief, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting stress, sleeping problems, and issues related to substance use among other concerns. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and aging challenges when these affect day-to-day functioning.
Therapy with Kimberly aims to be collaborative and paced to each person. She helps people set clear, achievable goals and track progress over time. Taking the first step is framed as a courageous move, and she offers steady support while people try new ways of coping.

How Kimberly’s approaches work online and in sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person where they are. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting what matters most and helping build on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and habits around eating. EMDR is an approach that helps people process traumatic memories; it involves guided attention and can reduce the intensity of painful memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide whether to focus on thoughts and habits, build coping skills with CBT, process trauma with EMDR, or combine elements from different approaches.
Session options are not listed here, so confirm current formats before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit more easily into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to attend from different locations. Online sessions can still include skill practice, thought-restructuring work, and step-by-step planning to change everyday habits, much like in-person counseling with licensed professionals.
