Hi there, I'm Kimberly!

I have 15+ years of experience working with people living with mental health and/or substance use issues. I am also a board-certified art therapist. I provide skills to clients that can be used in everyday life. I will listen and help to guide and encourage you in a safe and private space.

My focus

I offer therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. I take a goal-oriented and collaborative approach, drawing from evidence-based therapeutic modalities to tailor our work to your unique needs.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and strength-based, drawing from DBT and CBT to build skills, increase insight, and support emotional regulation. I can also integrate art therapy when helpful, offering creative ways to explore experiences, express emotions, and promote healing.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, interested, and supportive. I strive to create a safe space where you will feel comfortable, understood, and able to be yourself while we do this work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to a career as a therapist through a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit and a sincere curiosity about people's inner worlds and relationships. I am continually inspired by my client's courage, insight, and capacity to change, even in the midst of struggle.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative and flexible process. Together, we can explore what is most meaningful to you- clarify your hopes and challenges and set goals that align with your values and pace. and strengths. Goals are revisited and adjusted as growth unfolds.

Our first session

What you have to say will be listened to carefully without judgment. I want to understand what brings you to seek therapy right now and, from there, collaborate on goals.
