About Kim | She/her

Kim has worked in a variety of settings including a college counseling center, from there she spent several years working in private practice and residential programs for traumatized and sexually abused women in Atlanta. Kim works with clients from many different backgrounds and has specific training in integrating faith into her counseling process. Kim’s goal, through counseling, is to provide a safe environment for individuals to understand their true identities and thrive in their current life situations. She considers it a unique privilege to walk beside individuals through their process of finding wholeness and identity again. ​Kim’s counseling style reflects the truth that effective counseling is rooted in the relationship and trust established between therapist and client. Valuing this unique and special relationship allows her to work collaboratively with each of her clients as she hears their concerns and aids them in reaching their goals. Kim works from an attachment-based, trauma-informed perspective and believes that all parts of a person contribute to overall wellness.

Message to clients

Do you find yourself navigating through a transition or new season and you can't figure out why it feels so hard. Are you a hard worker, naturally a helper, and you just can't figure out how to move towards move of what you want in your life? I work with high achieving young adults/ adults who are experiencing life transitions- such as going to college, becoming a parent, getting married, dating, work stress, grief & loss, disappointment, spiritual issues, & relationship/family issues. Do you want to understand ways that your past may be impacting your present? I believe that we are complex people and I work from a lens of exploring your whole life. I value creating a safe place space to understand your true identity & thrive in your current situation. I utilize tools such as EMDR, narrative therapy, and other models. I am collaborative in nature and love providing additional psycho education resources. You don’t have to walk alone! It is my desire that clients can learn to be present in their daily lives and persevere with hope for the future.
