About

Kimberly is a Marriage and Family Therapy Trainee completing an M.S. degree in Clinical Psychology - Marriage and Family Therapy - at California Baptist University. She has been spiritually called into this work knowing first-hand how painful life challenges and transitions can shake the ground beneath you. She’s seen how deeply we long for someone to sit with us in the middle of it–without judgment, without rushing, without minimizing the hurt. Her work is guided by the belief that people can grow through even the most emotionally and mentally painful chapters in life. She’s here to hold space for those challenges one honest conversation at a time. Kimberly believes healing begins when we feel understood, and that hope grows when we rediscover our strengths, our purpose, our voice, and our sense of belonging.

Whether you’re navigating struggles in your relationship, divorce, coping with betrayal, rebuilding trust in yourself, or healing from trauma that still echoes in your day-to-day life, she’s here to walk beside you with steadiness and compassion. In therapy, you’ll find a space where the complexity of your story is welcome. Her approach blends curiosity, warmth, and practical therapeutic support to help you make sense of what’s happened, ease pain, anxiety, or depression, reconnect with who you are, and move toward the life you want to build next.

Outside of her clinical work, Kimberly enjoys spending time outdoors with her son and nurturing a love for nature, horse riding, and creativity. All are reminders of the steady growth and renewal she hopes to cultivate in the lives of her clients.
