About Kimberly
Kimberly tailors conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people break unhelpful cycles. Sessions emphasize practical strategies alongside talking through difficult feelings.
Her background includes work addressing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family of origin issues, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges related to career and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and recovery from substance use.
In sessions Kimberly draws on client-centered work to center the person’s goals, cognitive behavioral tools to shift patterns of thinking and behavior, and elements of mindfulness and emotion-focused practices to build awareness and emotional skills. Dialectical behavior strategies may be used to strengthen coping and distress tolerance when needed.
People can expect a collaborative process where the therapist listens first, helps set clear goals, and then works alongside them on steps toward those goals. Kimberly emphasizes practical, day-to-day changes that fit into a person's life and routine.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals. In practice this means the therapist listens carefully, follows the person’s lead, and shapes sessions around what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence each other and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches work well for worries, low mood, addictive behaviors, and everyday habit change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That plan can change over time as goals shift or new challenges appear.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require it. It can also reduce barriers like needing to arrange childcare or commute, so people can focus on making steady progress toward their goals.
