About Kim
|
Welcome to my practice.
I believe we all need help navigating life at times, whether that means healing from childhood wounds, or understanding why we continue to behave in ways that are self-destructive or impede our progress. Often our decisions and behaviors are driven by assumptions we have about our own worthiness or place in the world, and these assumptions can be just out of our awareness until we begin talking about them. My goal is to create an environment where you feel seen, heard, and appropriately challenged. I enjoy working with couples in a non-traditional way with an approach I have branded as the "Attachment Academy." You absolutely do not need to be in a romantic partnership to benefit from this work, however if you are a couple that has not found success with traditional marital counseling, I believe I may be the right fit. I also love working with parents of small children. Did you know that most of our personality is firmly established (and does not change) beyond age 3? Additionally, our attachment system (the way we view relationships and whether we feel safe/secure in those relationships) is also deeply rooted by age 5. If you are seeking ways to parent your little ones that feels firm, calm, and positive I can help. I have found that many parents desire a different approach to parenting than what is found in our mainstream culture, and I'd like to be the one who empowers you to go against the current. I have nearly 15 years experience working with adolescents and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings. This includes treatment for trauma, eating disorders, addiction, mood disorders, and attachment issues. I place a high value on my ongoing growth and development, and continuously engage in my own therapy and mentorship, along with personal study. My current treatment approach pulls from Jungian, somatic, Buddhist, and cognitive behavioral methods. |
What to Expect |
I recognize many individuals seek therapy after months, even years of consideration and hesitance. Our initial session will include a discussion of realistic goals, along with gathering information about your history, family, struggles, and strengths. From there, we can begin collaborating on a path that will feel hopeful and inspiring.
