Kimberly is committed to cultivating healing, resilience, and sustainable growth across the lifespan. She offers a person-centered, psychodynamic, and relational approach, creating a grounded, non-judgmental environment where clients can safely explore their stories and identities. Kimberly works with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and has a particular passion for walking alongside individuals and families navigating religious trauma, spiritual questions, and the ongoing work of identity formation. As an LGBTQ+ affirming clinician, she is deeply attuned to the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and their families—including coming out, family dynamics, internalized shame, faith and values conflicts, and building chosen family—and strives to provide a space that is explicitly inclusive, validating, and empowering.
Kimberly holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Master of Divinity with a Certificate in Spiritual Direction, and is a Resident in Counseling in the Commonwealth of Virginia. She provides counseling both in-office in Harrisonburg and via secure telehealth to increase access and flexibility for clients with diverse schedules, locations, and needs.
Clinically, Kimberly draws from attachment-based, narrative, mindfulness, psychodynamic, solution-focused, and emotion-focused therapies, integrating creative and expressive modalities such as story, art, music, and play to support deeper processing and self-discovery. Her background in Spiritual Direction further informs her holistic lens, allowing her to hold space for grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions in a way that honors the emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions of a client’s experience. Kimberly has practiced in settings including therapeutic foster care, group homes, outpatient counseling, and opioid treatment, equipping her to collaborate effectively with clients facing complex histories and layered stressors while helping them identify strengths, clarify values, and move toward more aligned ways of living.
Outside of session, Kimberly lives with her family in a cottage near the woods, where life is animated by art projects, music-making, forest walks, and the occasional surprise visit from neighborhood woodland critters. She brings this grounded, creative, and reflective way of being into her clinical work—partnering with clients to notice small but meaningful shifts, cultivate self-compassion, and build lives that feel more authentic, connected, and hopeful.
