Her training includes extensive work at Ft.

She also directed a local homeless shelter for over four years.

Kim approaches therapy with strong empathy and a broad skill set that allows her to work with diverse populations.

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, and communication and blended family challenges. Her style blends practical strategies and trauma-informed care to support meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with sleep or mood by teaching practical skills and tools to manage symptoms.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact. This approach supports recovery from PTSD, abuse, and other trauma-related difficulties by combining evidence-based interventions with careful pacing.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and patterns that contribute to self-destructive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Kimberly works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors treatment plans so the chosen methods fit the individual’s situation and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be held by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make regular care easier to access around work, family, or other commitments. Licensed professionals can deliver the same therapeutic tools and collaborative planning through these formats, helping clients move toward their goals from locations that suit them.
