About Kim
Her work is straightforward and practical. Sessions often begin with talk therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns and try small experiments between meetings. Kim also pays attention to the body and moments of somatic awareness when that feels useful to a person.
She uses tools from emotion-focused work and mindfulness to help people understand their feelings and respond differently to difficult moments. Eye movement approaches and other body-centered methods are also part of her repertoire when a person and Kim decide those fit the goals. She emphasizes acceptance alongside change so people can pursue concrete goals while feeling seen.
Kim’s background includes a Master of Social Work earned in 1997 and a Colorado LCSW license. Over two decades she has supported adults, teens, and older adults through trauma, chronic illness, depression, family conflict, and caregiving stress. Her experience includes working with gender and sexual diversity issues and veteran-related concerns.
She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can be honest about what they need and try different strategies. Clients who want to begin are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy flow and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Kim’s approaches translate to online work
Kim uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often involving experiments to test new ways of coping.She also draws on emotionally focused ideas that help people name and make sense of strong feelings, which can be useful for grief, relationship strain, and caregiver stress. Emotion-focused work often looks at patterns in how someone seeks comfort and how they respond to emotions.
Eye movement approaches and body-centered awareness are part of her toolbox for trauma and deeper emotional work; these methods attend to sensory and bodily experiences alongside memories and feelings.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kim will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past to decide which methods to use. She adapts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, emotion-focused work, and somatic techniques to virtual sessions so the work remains practical and focused on real-life changes.
