She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges around parenting and self-esteem.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills that can be used between meetings. She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and attachment-based work to help people manage emotions and improve relationships.
Kimberly uses an integrative approach that centers each person’s experience. She listens first, then tailors interventions to fit the situation. That might include skill-building for anxiety, processing trauma, or using emotion-focused work to strengthen important bonds.
She holds credentials as a licensed marriage and family therapist and a licensed professional counselor - LMFT and LPC - in Missouri. Kimberly speaks English and Spanish and brings attention to cultural and life-stage factors in therapy.
Her background includes helping people cope with compassion fatigue, grief after loss, blended family issues, and challenges tied to aging and chronic conditions. She aims to help clients find practical steps forward and build resilience for everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and trust. Online sessions can use this approach to look at attachment patterns and practice new ways of connecting and responding in close relationships.Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are. In virtual sessions this means centering the client's concerns, reflecting feelings, and helping the person set their own goals for change.
Cognitive behavioral therapy targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often includes learning concrete skills to manage anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful thinking patterns that interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most useful.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about language preference, scheduling, and how sessions can best fit into everyday life.
