I've lived in Florida since 1964 and love it! I'm a daughter, sister, mother, and grandmother. Like everyone else I've had struggles in life and welcomed my own mental health therapy when it was needed. I'm offering telehealth therapy for residents of my home state.
I graduated with a Masters Degree from Argosy University, and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I'm a certified facilitator of the Nurturing Parenting Curriculum, have been a consultant for a local movie "Choices & Chances" and I have been a workshop presenter at the State of Florida FADAA conference on suicide postvention.
In additional to my life experiences, I bring over 10 years of providing therapy to individuals who are struggling - no matter what their age. Every client brings their own unique struggles into therapy and I'm able to adjust my therapy style based on my client's needs - always using evidenced based modalities.
I'm comfortable providing therapy for a wide range of diagnosis and life stressors including ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Disruptive Behaviors, Grief, Life Stressors & Transitions, Parenting Skills, Parenting ADHD, PTSD, Relationship Issues, Self Injurious Behaviors, Stress, and Suicide Prevention/Intervention/Postvention.
You can expect active listening, and inquiring questions as you tell me your story. Together, we establish your goals for therapy. I would be honored to be there for you, or your loved one, with my primary goal always that you have a positive and productive therapy experience.

TESTIMONIALS & INSPIRATION
"Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love"
Brene Brown
"I cannot recommend this therapist highly enough. From the very first session she created a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space where I felt genuinely heard and understood. Her approach is both professional and deeply human - she listens carefully, asks insightful questions, and offers guidance that feels practical, empowering and tailored to my needs. Kim strikes the perfect balance between warmth and accountability, helping me grow while feeling supported. If you are looking for a therapist who is skilled, empathetic, and truly invested in your wellbeing, I wholeheartedly recommend you give her the opportunity to help you." AMH
