With a Master of Science degree and certification as a National Certified Counselor, Kimberly offers a unique, empathetic approach that empowers clients to focus on the present and build a future they can be proud of.
Driven by a mission to create a validating and nonjudgmental space, Kimberly works closely with her clients as an equal partner. Her approach blends positive psychology, DBT, SFBT, and person-centered theory, emphasizing self-discovery, growth, and the recognition of one’s inner light.
Kimberly’s journey has been deeply shaped by her own life experiences, including multiple pregnancy losses and the loss of her daughter after a year-long NICU stay. These experiences have equipped her with a profound understanding of resilience and the ability to see the silver linings in even the most challenging times. She is passionate about helping others navigate their own difficult experiences with kindness and hope.
In addition to her practice, Kimberly volunteers with Neural Education, a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing educational strategies through a neural lens. She has co-authored an article for the American School Counselor Association and was recognized as the Young Alumna of the Year by her undergraduate college.
