About Kimberly

She supports practical coping strategies for workplace stress, parenting strain, and managing ADHD-related challenges.

Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work

Kimberly uses client-centered work, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers and build clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test out different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, to process disturbing or traumatic memories when that approach fits a person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kimberly will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove commuting time. When an approach like CBT or EMDR is used, sessions can focus on practical exercises, skill practice, and step-by-step processing in ways that translate to remote sessions. Licensed professionals can help adapt techniques so they fit the client’s daily life and routines.
