Meet Kim
I’m a therapist who believes healing happens when we’re seen with compassion and curiosity. My own journey—through both personal and professional experiences—has deepened my passion for helping others find freedom and wholeness after trauma. I count it a privilege to walk with clients as they rediscover their voice, their strength, and their true selves.
My Story
My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by both professional training and personal healing. After earning my Master’s in Counseling Psychology and working in community mental health, I took a detour into the business world for many years—raising a family and learning about people in a different way. When my daughters left for college, I felt a deep pull back to the work I had always loved: walking with others through their stories of pain, resilience, and transformation.
My passion for trauma work—especially around sexual abuse—was born from both witnessing and experiencing deep wounding. Through my own healing journey, I’ve come to know that freedom, restoration, and wholeness are possible, even after profound hurt. That truth shapes the way I sit with every client: with compassion, curiosity, and a belief in the inherent goodness and strength that lives inside each person.
“The original, shimmering self gets buried so deep that most of us end up hardly living out of it at all. Instead we live out all the other selves, which we are constantly putting on and taking off like coats and hats against the world’s weather”
Primary Type of Therapeutic Work
Her approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and informed by training in psychodynamic and narrative therapy. She believes that our past never truly stays in the past—it continues to shape how we experience ourselves and others in the present.
The stories that make us who we are include both beauty and brokenness, goodness and pain. Kim understands that we all carry experiences of trauma—both the obvious and the subtle—and that even collective experiences, like living through COVID, have left a lasting impact on our sense of safety and connection. Each of us needs a compassionate witness to our unique places of hurt, harm, and heartache.
Kim also works with individuals who are healing from spiritual abuse—when religious systems, doctrines, or leaders have used control, shame, judgment, or coercion in ways that wound rather than nurture. She feels deeply honored to step into those tender spaces, helping clients sort through the confusion and pain, and supporting them in rediscovering a sense of freedom, trust, and belonging.
Years of Practice
Kim began building her private practice in May of 2015.
