What You Can Expect
Hi, I'm Kim. I help people overcome thoughts and behaviors that interfere with their lives. Here’s my perspective: we work together, but you are in control. You steer, I’ll point out road markers. You press the gas however hard you want, and I’ll point out the scenery that’s behind us, before us, and all around us as we go. All the while, I’m going to listen deeply. Perhaps like you’ve never been listened to before. This will be some of the deepest, most challenging, and most rewarding work you’ve ever done. We can talk about anything. Anxiety, shame, guilt, procrastination, loss, grief, relational difficulties, addiction, body image issues, abuse, and complex trauma are some examples of the areas we can cover. |
My Personal Story
Growing up in a home with addiction and multiple mental health issues, I walked away traumatized, with complex trauma issues of my own.
As a result, I have deep compassion and understanding. I know exactly what it's like to feel like an alien in this world, to have anxiety, to struggle with addiction, procrastination, body image issues, immense grief, shame, abandonment, and so many other things that complex trauma entails.
I also know what it’s like to be in recovery, to grow in health, and become more and more whole.
My recovery journey from complex trauma continues, and has been in process for nearly a decade.
I would love to walk with you through the dark or difficult stuff to find freedom on the other side. Because trust me, there is freedom.

My Experience, Your Benefit
I have been coaching in the mental health space since winter 2022. As a Complex Trauma Coach, I have worked with many (nearly 100) clients in both group and one-on-one settings to explore and integrate a variety of issues including grief, shame, anxiety, depression, codependency, boundaries, interpersonal conflict, anger, and more.
In addition, I am currently pursuing my masters degree in Counselling Psychology so I can become even more effective as I walk alongside others on these journeys through suffering into healing.
As far as theories or methods I employ, I have used aspects of each of the following in my coaching: EFT (Emotions Focused Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Inner Child work, Mindfulness theory, and others. The focus however, is not about theories or strategies; it is always you and what you need in any given moment.
