About Kimberly
Kimberly uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She brings Trauma-Focused Therapy into work with traumatic histories and pairs it with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small practical steps. Client-Centered skills guide sessions so people feel heard and understood.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Wayne State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Secondary Teaching from the University of Michigan. Kimberly has worked in community mental health, substance use facilities, schools, Spanish-speaking agencies, refugee shelters, integrative health clinics, and private practice. That range informs how she adapts support to different life situations.
Sessions focus on practical tools as well as talking through painful memories. She describes her perspective as a wounded healer and aims to provide a nonjudgmental space where race, sexuality, and religion are respected. Kimberly also integrates holistic elements when helpful, blending mind-body-spirit ideas with traditional therapy techniques.
People who choose her can expect collaborative planning, straightforward strategies, and attention to real-life barriers. She invites clients to shape their goals and to move at a pace that feels manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process and make sense of traumatic events. It often involves pacing memories, working on safety and coping skills, and gradually reducing distress tied to past experiences. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name their values and take small actions aligned with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether trauma-focused work, ACT, or another method will be used and adjust the plan over time based on what the client needs.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. Many people find remote work reduces travel time and makes follow-up brief check-ins easier. The biography does not list which specific online formats are used, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can support consistent momentum toward goals while allowing sessions to fit into everyday life.
