About Kimberly
I’m a licensed therapist in Nebraska and Colorado, and I help adults make sense of what they’re carrying and find a way forward.
My path into this work wasn’t only academic. I’ve navigated grief, anxiety, and the gradual process of learning to trust myself again. There wasn’t one dramatic breakthrough; change came through the steady, often unglamorous work of learning to listen differently to myself. That experience continues to shape how I show up as a therapist.
My background spans healthcare, massage therapy, higher education, and clinical practice. Across each of these settings, I’ve seen how closely the mind, body, and nervous system are connected and why insight alone doesn’t always create change.
My style is grounded and honest. I am kind, but direct. I won’t simply reflect back what you already know. I’ll help you notice what’s happening beneath the words and name patterns that may be difficult to see when you’re inside them. We’ll approach what we find with curiosity rather than judgment.
I also believe there is room for humor and humanity in therapy. We may laugh, reference a book or movie that captures what you’re experiencing, or sit quietly with something difficult. You don’t have to perform or have the right words. I’ll meet you where you are.
My Approach
Therapy with me is structured before it is deep. I do not believe in opening difficult experiences without first helping you feel equipped to work with what comes up. We may begin with grounding, emotional regulation, and a clearer understanding of what is happening in your mind, body, and nervous system.
Then we look beneath the patterns you already recognize. We explore what activates them, what they may have once protected you from, and why they continue even when you understand them intellectually.
My approach is integrative and grounded in trauma-informed care. Depending on what you need, we may build practical skills, challenge a belief, process an experience, listen to what your body is communicating, or explore the story beneath a familiar response. I may also incorporate creative or expressive activities when words alone are not enough
Approaches may include CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, somatic work, and depth-oriented therapy.
Throughout the process, we will pay attention to what is helping, what remains stuck, and whether the work needs to shift. The goal is not simply to understand your patterns. It is to help you respond differently when those patterns appear in your life.
If you've done the work and something still isn't moving, this is where we figure out why.
