Kim is a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist who works with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating grief and loss, major life transitions, trauma recovery, anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, and co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. She is especially passionate about supporting individuals exploring identity shifts, rebuilding after difficult experiences, and creating lives that feel more aligned and meaningful.
Kim’s approach is collaborative, relational, and rooted in curiosity, authenticity, and compassion. She believes healing happens through safe therapeutic relationships and views many mental health symptoms as adaptive responses to stress, trauma, and life experiences rather than signs that something is inherently “wrong” with a person.
Her work is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, somatic awareness, and Mindful Self-Compassion. Kim enjoys helping clients reconnect with their strengths, values, resilience, and capacity for growth.
Kim works well with children, teens, and families, incorporating narrative, ACT-based, experiential, and arts-informed approaches that many younger clients find engaging and effective. While her work is not rooted in formal play therapy, she enjoys supporting adolescents and young adults through identity development, emotional regulation, anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, resilience-building, and life transitions.
She also supports adults navigating caregiving roles, midlife transitions, loss, and evolving identity.
Kim often incorporates creativity and experiential approaches into therapy, including mindfulness, grounding skills, nature-based practices, walk-and-talk sessions, and work with her therapy dog when clinically appropriate.
