About Kimberly
In sessions she focuses on everyday concerns like anxiety, low mood, parenting strain, and problems with self-esteem. Kim also addresses life changes such as midlife transitions, caregiving stress, and questions about life purpose. She helps people sort through feelings of abandonment, shame, isolation, and guilt as they come up.
Her work draws on approaches that keep the client central to the process. She uses client-centered listening to understand a person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Kim integrates mindfulness practices to calm racing thoughts and build present-moment awareness. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to uncover long-standing patterns tied to family of origin and early relationships. Solution-focused strategies help set small, practical goals and track progress.

How Kim’s Approaches Translate Online
Kim blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people understand difficult thoughts and try new behaviors. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person, while CBT offers concrete tools to challenge patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood.She also uses mindfulness techniques to slow racing thoughts and increase moment-to-moment awareness. Mindfulness practices are brief exercises that can be used between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which is helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily routines, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed. Together they set small, practical steps and track what helps most.
