About Kimberly
She uses straightforward conversations to uncover how old hurts show up now. Kimberly combines Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic ideas to challenge unhelpful beliefs and patterns. Sessions are meant to be practical and grounded in everyday life, with space for emotion and reflection.
Her background includes work in substance abuse treatment, transitional living programs for single mothers, child welfare referrals, and both individual and group counseling. That mix has shaped a calm, direct style that pays attention to safety and real-world needs while addressing deeper wounds.
In sessions she listens first, then helps people find small, manageable steps to reduce anger, rebuild trust after infidelity or jealousy, and address drug or alcohol problems. Kimberly also supports people facing career shifts, compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, and family strain.

How her approaches fit remote work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps with feeling heard, building trust, and deciding what changes feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them, which can help with anger, addiction urges, and anxiety. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by re-telling life events in a way that highlights strengths and choices, useful for healing from infidelity or long-term hurts.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberly will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day needs. That collaborative process means trying small changes, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan during therapy.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, reduce time spent traveling, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use verbal and written exercises between sessions to practice CBT skills or reflect on narrative shifts in everyday moments.
