Life happens & therapy helps! Therapy is a safe space to release unwanted thoughts, feelings & emotions while gaining a new perspective & learning new skills to help you live your life just as you have envisioned.

My Social Work career began at Georgia Division of Family & Children Services (DFCS). Beginning my career at DFCS, has been a pleasure to support clients in various clinical settings such as: outpatient treatment facilities, inpatient psychiatric treatment facilities, hospitals, schools locally & internationally, & private practice settings.

I support clients from a strength/empowerment perspective, as it is my belief, even when you don’t feel equipped, you have everything you need to take the next step in life. During our therapy sessions, it is my goal to ensure you feel safe, supported, comfortable & confident while implementing practical therapy modalities such as Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness - Based Cognitive Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Culturally Sensitive Therapy and/or Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

My approach is holistic, I apply therapy, spiritual practices & concepts & physical health to promote total wellness. This includes breath-work & spirituality.

You have already taken the first step to create a better life for yourself and/or your family, I would be honored to take this journey with you.

As an ambitious & focused scholar, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from the University of Florida & later attended Clark Atlanta University to receive my Master of Social Work degree, with a focus in Children & Families. I have my Doctor of Social Work degree from Simmons University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia, Texas & Florida.

I absolutely enjoy supporting clients transitioning through life but when I am not supporting clients, I am laughing with family & friends, cooking a delicious meal, running around with my dog Chance, meditating or traveling the friendly skies.

This session was very helpful to me. Kim has a way of proposing questions to me that allow me to feel comfortable in being real with myself. Honestly, I have reflected over our conversation & it has helped me to open up my personal space (heart) of what I need to work on. I am actually actively working on what I want vulnerability & trust to look for me & I am now confident that I have a choice in doing so.
