Background and approach
Her work addresses a wide range of family and personal issues, including blended family challenges, attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, chronic pain, codependency, and struggles around forgiveness and emptiness. Kimberly draws from several approaches to fit each person’s needs.
She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies, psychodynamic reflection, motivational interviewing, and Internal Family Systems ideas when helpful. The focus is on practical change rather than labels. As a parent of two grown children, she brings lived experience of raising and blending a family into her practice.
Kimberly values a collaborative relationship where goals are clear and progress is tracked. She encourages people to take the first step toward change and recognizes that seeking help can be difficult.
Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers acceptance, and helps people find their own solutions, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical tools and short exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and set small, manageable goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then adjust methods over time in a collaborative way.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing helps someone express themselves. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while keeping the focus on progress.
