Expertise in EMDR & Trauma Recovery
My name is Kim (she/her), and I am a specialist in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help the brain process and heal from the impact of traumatic or distressing life experiences. Whether you are navigating PTSD or the lingering effects of childhood adversity, I use EMDR to help you move past “stuck” emotional patterns, providing a path to rapid and lasting relief that traditional talk therapy often cannot reach alone.
Clinical Focus: Anxiety & The Perfectionism Cycle
I specialize in working with high-achievers and individuals caught in the relentless cycle of perfectionism. I understand the exhaustion that comes from pursuing unattainable standards and the paralyzing fear of failure that fuels chronic anxiety. If you feel perpetually inadequate or overwhelmed by self-criticism, I provide a calm, authentic space to dismantle these cycles. We work together to silence the “inner critic” and rebuild a foundation of genuine self-worth and well-being.
Navigating Life Transitions & Corporate Burnout
Having made my own transition from the corporate world to the mental health field, I bring a unique “real-world” perspective to my work with professionals. I am an expert in helping clients navigate the stress of career shifts, identity changes, and the unique mental load of high-pressure environments. I also offer specialized support for:
Hospice & End-of-Life Care: Assisting patients and families through the profound emotional journey of terminal illness and transition.
Substance Use Recovery: Supporting individuals navigating alcohol abuse issues with empathy and evidence-based tools.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Care: Providing a safe, supportive space for individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum.
A Collaborative, Integrative Approach
My therapy style is client-centered and rooted in Humanistic principles. I believe you possess the inner resources to heal; my role is to help you unlock them using a sophisticated blend of modalities:
Gestalt Therapy: To increase awareness of your present-moment experience.
Solution-Focused Therapy: To identify and amplify your existing strengths.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To challenge and restructure unhelpful thought patterns.
Premarital Counseling
I enjoy working with couples who are preparing for a lifetime of partnership. I provide Premarital Counseling designed to strengthen communication, align values, and ensure you have a resilient foundation before you say “I do.”
