I’ve only had 1 session so far. She is very knowledgeable in her field and very attentive to my needs and gives good therapeutic advice and suggestions to implement.

I enjoy working with Kimberly. She is very accommodating and very attentive. She listens and then asks clarification questions. She is not pushy and she gives you time to share your grief with no judgment. I appreciate her a lot.

My fiancé and I had our first visit with Ms. Kimberly, and we were very satisfied with the initial session. She made us feel comfortable, listened attentively, and provided insightful guidance. We appreciate the supportive and non-judgmental environment she created, and we feel optimistic about continuing this journey. We look forward to our next appointment and are grateful to have found a therapist who truly understands our needs.

Kimberly is very approachable and she was able to make my son very comfortable and at ease very quickly. She has a very relaxed approach and I think that's effective for my son to open up to her.
