About Kimberly
Her style is warm, compassionate, and interactive. She views therapy as a partnership built on trust and respect. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and try new ways of relating that feel more effective.
In individual work she draws on evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help people gain clarity and reduce distress. For couples she uses Emotionally Focused Therapy to address communication problems and rebuild connection when trust is strained.
Kimberly has 12 years of experience working with adults and with relationship concerns that touch family and caregiving roles. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, dissociation, co-morbidity, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters.
She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Kimberly commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness in her work. Cognitive behavioral approaches involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness practices teach simple exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, which can help with stress and emotional regulation.She also uses Emotionally Focused Therapy principles for couples work, which focus on improving communication and rebuilding emotional connection. This approach helps partners notice interaction patterns, express vulnerabilities, and create new ways of responding that deepen trust.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods as the work unfolds so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and let people join from wherever is most convenient for them. Some formats can be better for shorter check-ins or when video is difficult, while others suit longer therapeutic tasks and couple sessions. Ask when you schedule which formats are available and which might fit your needs best.
