Kim has a passion for helping those whose path in life has been strewn with challenges and transitions, big and small.
Kim’s approach to therapeutic healing is borne out of the concept that through resilience we are all capable of improving — not just in spite of, but also because of the challenging life experiences we have endured. Every individual’s experience of their life events has the possibility to open up new areas of our inner life that we may not have uncovered without the assistance of a therapeutic guide and the development of new and healthy supports.
Kim has worked with individuals across the lifespan and with a diversity of personal backgrounds, philosophies, and recovery experiences. It is Kim’s belief that the individual should guide their treatment and that outcomes of “successful” treatment are determined not by the treatment provider, but by the individual. Kim considers her function to be as support and authentic reflector of the possible areas of your life path that you may benefit from illuminating.
Kim engages in individual and group psychotherapy services, supervises master’s level social workers for clinical practice, and consults with other professionals in effort to both share and garner wisdom.
