About Kimberly
She commonly supports people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship stress. She also helps with burnout, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, and the upheaval that follows separation or loss. Midlife crisis is a named focus area that comes up alongside these transitions.
Kimberly uses a mix of practical methods rather than one fixed approach. She draws on client-centered work to listen and follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Sessions include solution-focused thinking to set clear steps and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation is a key need. The work often looks like naming patterns, practicing small changes between sessions, and checking what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Across 14 years of clinical practice, Kimberly aims to help people feel seen and supported while they make real changes. She offers a steady, straightforward style and works with each person to set goals that fit their life and values.

How Kimberly's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach emphasize the client's priorities and allow the therapist to respond directly to what feels most important in the moment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In an online setting CBT can include step-by-step exercises, homework between sessions, and regular check-ins to track progress on specific problems like anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kimberly works with clients to choose which methods fit their goals and needs. She will review what is working and adjust plans as sessions unfold so goals remain realistic and useful.
The therapist's profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the exact online or in-person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow quick midweek check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to set a plan that suits your routine and communication preferences.
