Therapist

Hi, I'm Kim. I'm a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. As an immigrant and bilingual professional, I understand that life's transitions can bring unexpected challenges, uncertainty, and feelings of being caught between different expectations or versions of yourself. I know how difficult it can be to ask for help when you're used to carrying so much on your own.


My approach to therapy is collaborative, authentic, and nonjudgmental. I want you to feel comfortable showing up as you are, without pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, recognize the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build on the strengths you already have. I believe growth doesn't mean having all the answers; it means learning to navigate life's challenges with greater self-awareness, confidence, and self-compassion.


In our work together, I'll combine empathy with practical, evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs and goals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, difficult life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself, my goal is to help you develop healthier coping skills, strengthen your relationships, and create meaningful change. You don't have to figure everything out on your own. Therapy can be a place to pause, reconnect with yourself, and take steps toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

IMMEDIATE OPENINGS for early morning sessions 7-9:30am! Book a FREE 15-minute consult today! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) & Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) with over 18 years of experience in mental health. My work is rooted in compassion, practicality, and a belief that therapy should be an empowering journey—not a lifelong commitment. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and seniors who experience ADHD, chronic illness & mind-body disconnect. I also integrate mental health and nutrition into my approach and provide grief-informed care. Additionally I work with high performers in the Business Leadership & Athletics realm.

I want you to know that therapy is a safe space where you can be yourself. There’s no judgment here—just a commitment to helping you feel more in control of your life and well-being.

Unconditional positive regard means being accepted and supported—no matter what. In a world where this kind of acceptance can feel rare, our work together can be a space where you feel truly seen and valued. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free environment where you can connect more deeply with yourself and others.


I work with clients navigating a wide range of experiences, including infertility, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and transitions into and through parenthood. I also provide infertility consultations as requested by fertility clinics and doctors, following ASRM guidelines, to support individuals and couples using donor conception or gestational carriers.

You deserve a space to reflect, process, and reconnect with your inner strength. Whether you're grappling with uncertainty, grief, or simply seeking clarity, my goal is to walk alongside you with care and authenticity. If you're ready to deepen your connection with yourself and others, I would be honored to support you.
