"“Support groups transform loneliness into connection, reminding us we never walk this path alone.” — Sarah Morales, Certified Peer Recovery Specialist"
Hi, I’m Kim. :)
My personal counseling philosophy centers around individuality and celebrating differences. People are complex beings, and each person is a unique culmination of their beliefs, experiences, accomplishments, setbacks, relationships, passions, and so much more. Change is an exhausting journey and growth is never easy, but my goal is to create a safe space where your successes can be celebrated, and setbacks are met with compassion and an open mind. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate neurodivergence (specifically ADHD and/or autism), trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and mood disorders. I am also passionate about helping those who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community who are struggling with self-identity, gender dysphoria, or self-acceptance.
As for school and work, I have a BA in Mass Communication (Winona State University) and an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (Grand Canyon University). I have previously worked in a variety of mental health settings including adult residential (crisis and IRTS), adolescent residential, targeted case management, and a youth intensive outpatient program.
In my free time, I find peace and balance in art, creativity, reading, music, jigsaw puzzles, spending time with friends, and being outdoors.
My preferred clients are adolescents (12+), young adults, adults, and families.
