About You
Ah, the “Good old Days.”
We used to live in tribes with built-in support.
We had clearer roles, fewer stressors, shorter travel times, and more movement.
We had space. Routine. Connection.
We “used to” do a lot of things.
Things have changed.
Now most of us are sprinting from place to place, spread thin and juggling too much. Our “tribes” are often four to six people—usually the same ones we’re arguing with, stressing about, or trying to keep alive. So we push harder, sit longer, stare at screens more, and wonder why life feels both overwhelming and strangely disconnected.
The world has never been smaller—or bigger.
We’ve never been so close—or so isolated.
And truthfully?
Our “tribes” need help!
Families are the heartbeat of every community, which is why investing in them matters. Couples anchor the foundation of those families, which is why I LOVE helping partners rebuild connection, improve communication, and feel emotionally secure with each other again. A big part of my work is supporting men in therapy — helping them understand how emotions influence relationships, leadership, and intimacy so they can show up for the people the love.
I also love supporting parents at every stage. Raising kids is beautiful, disorienting, and wildly humbling. And even as children grow into adults, the relationship evolves but never stops mattering. Adult children still need the safety of a loving parent, and parents never stop wanting to show up for their grown kids. That bond deserves care, compassion, and space to heal when needed.
And, of course, YOU. Whether you are a doctor, a teacher, an electrician, a secretary, or a content creators. YOU are the foundation of the community. With the right support, you can show up with more clarity, calm, and confidence to make an even greater impact in your little corner of the world.
I’d love to come alongside you—to hear, validate, and empower your story—so you’re not just surviving your life…
you’re actually thriving in it.
About Me
What I Do
My name is Kim. Over the years I’ve been called a therapist, counselor, shrink, head doctor, feelings doctor…the list goes on. To be clear, I can’t prescribe medication, so those last two might be giving me too much credit — but I appreciate the enthusiasm.
Officially, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor because it requires a boatload of school and national testing. Unofficially, I’m a “feelings teacher.”
I’m also a container – a safe space to hold your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Sometimes I joke that I’m a little like The Giver: holding memories and feelings so you don’t have to carry them alone.
My work centers on couples therapy, relationship counseling for men, and supporting parents and individuals who want to feel more grounded, connected, and emotionally secure — within themselves and with their most important people.
How I Got Here
I started my career in residential AODA treatment, and although I don’t have personal experience with addiction, that work shaped me profoundly. It taught me compassion, humility, and how deeply courageous recovery is. It also showed me that even those without addiction can benefit from admitting their problems, taking a rigorous inventory, and making amends #aaisforeveryone.
From there I spent five years in a small group practice that served in community mental health (that’s a fancy way of saying, “Lots of people, lots of issues”). This is where I learned to provide evidence-based therapy in genuine and authentic way.
Eventually I shifted into solo private practice (via telehealth) to focus on what I love most: helping couples, families, and individuals create healthier connections. Oh, and to create some dang personal balance! Modern life fuels so much of our collective stress and mental health struggles, and I relate to that on a very real level.
My Life Outside the Therapy Room
My husband and I have been married since 2007. Yes, living with a marriage therapist is a blessing and a curse. We’ve studied, practiced, and taught these relationship skills for years—and we still trip over the same things everyone else does. Only recently do some of them feel “natural-ish.”
We’ve been parents since 2011, and I’m convinced parenting is a 20-year experiment no one knows the results of until it’s far too late. I will probably owe my children at least their first year of therapy costs for my own mistakes in parenting.
When I’m not helping people talk things out, I’m still talking things out. I’m an extrovert who hates small talk, usually found at a local coffee shop or power-walking with a friend.
Season depending, you might catch a blurry glimpse of me barreling down a snow hill on my snowboard or lounging near a lake Up North.
Places you will not find me: deep in the wilderness camping or reading in my favorite chair.
