Kim is a compassionate therapist dedicated to walking alongside clients on their journey towards healing and growth. She creates an emotionally safe and empowering environment where all feelings are welcomed and explored without judgment. With a focus on individual therapy, she addresses relational and childhood trauma, life transitions (such as parenting, divorce, job changes), grief, managing anxiety, depression, self-esteem and Christian counseling needs. Her own lived experiences inform her empathy and understanding.

Kim specializes in supporting women from the BIPOC community, who are navigating the intersectionality of race, gender, class, sexuality, through self-exploration and self-advocacy. She is passionate about destigmatizing therapy within these communities and changing generational patterns for lasting change.

Her approach is personalized and eclectic, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Compassion-Focused interventions, all viewed through a trauma-informed lens.

Having earned her master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from Moody Theological Seminary, Kim has a rich background in various settings including school environments, in-patient and outpatient hospitals, community mental health, and private practice.
