Early on, Kimberly received training with acute children and adolescents in PHP and IOP services. She has used that training to help children and adolescents with emotional regulation, self-harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety, mindfulness, impulsivity, child/parent relationships, trauma, anger, aggression, and ADHD/executive functioning. Kimberly uses play therapy and age-appropriate techniques while working with kids and adolescents to help them express themselves during therapy.
I offer cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you make your own positive life decisions. Through sharing ideas in a caring, respectful relationship, you are actively involved in decision-making throughout the therapy process. My role is to provide a supportive and trusting environment.
I have specialized training and extensive experience working with children and adolescents. I provide play therapy for children ages 3-9 and activity therapy for children ages 10-13.
Growing up is not easy for anyone including children, adolescents, or their parents! The reality is that it can be very hard to be a child or teen. They experience vast changing emotions, however, they are not equipped at their developmental stages to handle or understand feelings and experiences the same way as adults. I would strive to provide a nonjudgmental, safe and comforting environment for your child or adolescent to process through their various degrees of emotions and experiences, and aid them in expressing and making sense of how they are feeling more effectively.

For many people, walking through a therapist's door for the first time can be intimidating. It doesn't have to be. My practice offers professional and confidential services in a safe, comfortable and home-like environment. We provide individual, family and couple therapy; children 3 years and older.
With a Specialization in Children and Families, I focus on age-appropriate methods for children and teens. Play therapy creates a comfortable atmosphere for younger children, and I offer a safe, trusting environment for teens to work within themselves and learn to communicate with their parents.
