About Kimala
She trained in rehabilitation counseling and holds a Master of Science. Over 19 years she has worked in outpatient community mental health and residential settings. That background means she has experience supporting people with intense emotional moments and complex life situations.
In sessions she focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and practice new responses. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and goals.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that sets concrete goals and builds coping skills. She has provided individual, family, and group therapy in her career and aims to make progress manageable and measurable.
Her work includes help for grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, compulsive behaviors, sleep and eating concerns, and career or life-purpose questions. Kimala’s approach centers on changing everyday habits by changing the thoughts that drive them.

How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values; it’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that keep problems going and practicing small behavior changes to break those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical emotion regulation and interpersonal skills for handling strong feelings and conflict without making things worse.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what strategies feel doable. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills in everyday settings and quickly apply what they learn between meetings.
