Meet Kimberly!
I am at my heart a people-person. Everyone has a story and we all need to be heard. Before I started my career in counseling, I wanted to be a police officer…but God laughed and had other plans for me! I spent 17 years as a domestic and sexual assault advocate, and also provided group therapy to individuals who struggled with abusiveness in their relationships. Because I worked directly with first responders daily, I have seen people at their very lowest, their worst moments of grief, loss and pain.
My strengths and training are in working with people deeply affected by both childhood and adult complex trauma, PTSD, substance abuse and addiction, domestic and sexual violence, as well as anxiety and depression. Based on my background I also have the experience to work with first responders on complex trauma; they see trauma daily but may not have a healthy outlet to process it.
I take a person-centered approach to counseling, and utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and/or Written Exposure Therapy to help bring healing. I believe ultimately God wants you to be your BEST you, and I would be honored to be part of that journey with you.
