Kim specializes in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach that supports healing from distressing experiences giving individuals a path forward with hope and renewed resilience. She also loves supporting women in all walks of life — single, married, new moms, middle chapter, moms with adult children, and senior adults.

A note from Kim —

“My heart is to walk alongside you and your family on your journey toward hope and healing, especially during life’s most challenging and overwhelming moments. I am here to help support you and your loved ones rediscover your unique strengths, nurture personal growth, and cultivate wellness even in difficult seasons of life. Outside of counseling, I most enjoy spending time with family and friends. I love being a wife to my husband, mom to my three adult children and their families, and being grandmother to my amazing grandchildren. I thrive being outside enjoying God’s beautiful creation while hiking or gardening. I also love cooking, hosting a houseful of family and friends and trying out new restaurants. My faith is most important to me and influences who I am at the core, and I seek to extend God’s grace and love to others in meaningful ways!”
