Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Do you want to feel better and work on making changes in your life? If so, I can help. My name is Kimberly and I am a licensed therapist and social worker. I have over 20 years experience and can transfer my expertise to work with populations of adults and children. I’ve been working as a social worker since graduating from the University of Tennessee in 2003, and I truly enjoy helping people navigate life’s challenges. Many of the individuals I work with are experiencing anxiety or depression and are looking for support, clarity, and practical ways to feel better. My therapy style is supportive and solution-focused. I draw from years of experience across different levels of mental health care to help clients identify meaningful goals and take steady, achievable steps toward them. My approach to therapy is practical and goal-oriented. Many people benefit from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which help identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and create meaningful change. Together, we focus on building effective strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and balance. In the first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your current concerns, your goals, and what you hope to gain from counseling. This is also a chance for you to ask questions and begin building a comfortable, collaborative relationship together.

As a therapist, I am often asked, "What is your passion?" The answer is simple: my passion is YOU. My ideal client is those who feel stuck and overwhelmed by the weight of life and are burdened by negative core beliefs that make it hard to see their own worth. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, or feelings that they have to carry everything alone. Some may have experienced trauma, instability, or disruptions in relationships and family dynamics-and yet, they still long for healing, connection and peace. My ideal client is also someone who desires change but isn't quite sure where to start. I use client led therapy. You lead in your own journey, and I am just along to help guide you. I offer CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing and a spiritual perspective to help you in your healing when desired. Whether you are navigating personal identity, relational challenges, parenting struggles, or any other complex situation-I am here to help. Everyone can use a listening ear from time to time. I offer a gentle, non-judgmental approach in my therapy practice. I offer compassion and encouragement to my clients who often feel defeated. My role is to walk alongside you as you challenge long held beliefs, discover your strengths and learn tools that support lasting change. I would be honored to help you in your journey to healing. My approach is unique because I will not push you beyond your level of readiness. Therapy has to be client led. I will encourage you, but not push you too far beyond your comfort zone. Sessions with me are completely non-judgmental. I will be your biggest cheerleader in your journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and build meaningful, lasting change. I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem struggles, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, and personality-related challenges. I believe that many of the struggles people experience are not signs of weakness or personal failure. Often, they are the result of a nervous system that has been under stress for far too long. When we spend extended periods in survival mode, it can become difficult to feel calm, connected, confident, or hopeful. My approach focuses on helping clients understand these patterns, regulate their nervous systems, develop effective coping strategies, and create a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling. My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a space where you can speak openly about your experiences, feel genuinely heard, and explore challenges without fear of criticism or shame. At the same time, I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about problems. My goal is to help you gain practical tools and insights that can be applied to your daily life. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed interventions. Together, we will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, challenge unhelpful beliefs, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop healthier ways of responding to life's stressors. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing complex mental health concerns, crisis situations, trauma histories, chronic stress, and significant life challenges. These experiences have reinforced my belief that people are often far more resilient and capable than they realize. Even when circumstances feel overwhelming, meaningful growth and healing are possible. Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, easy to talk to, compassionate, and direct when needed. I believe in meeting people where they are while also gently encouraging them toward growth. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build the skills and confidence needed to move forward. Seeking support takes courage, and reaching out for help is often the hardest step. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel stuck and unsure where to begin, you do not have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward greater healing, balance, and well-being.
