Her work has focused extensively on children and youth involved in the child welfare system, as well as on supporting families through crisis and stabilization so the family unit can move toward healing. She has substantial experience assisting survivors of childhood sexual trauma, members of the LGBTQ community, couples, and men working through codependency and addictions. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger management, adoption and foster care issues, oppositional behaviors, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and communication challenges.

Kimberly is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, the MATCH modular approach for children, Multi-Systemic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Her therapeutic style centers on the needs of each person at a given moment, balancing progress toward longer-term goals with attention to immediate stressors that can derail day-to-day functioning. Her primary aim as a therapist is to help people feel better in the areas of life that brought them to seek support.

She acknowledges that pursuing therapy is a courageous step and approaches each engagement with the intention of guiding clients through their current life circumstances toward greater stability and wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own experience and strengths, creating space for the person to explore feelings and values while the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach can help with self-esteem, relationship issues, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping skills development by teaching practical strategies to change patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies and teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be particularly helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns of impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kimberly will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals adapt plans over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. These formats allow clients to access consistent support from qualified therapists without the need to travel, helping maintain continuity of care and adapt to changing circumstances.
