Healing for those who, despite any outward success, feel like failures.
MENTAL HEALTH AND EMDR THERAPY IN TEXAS & UTAH
Life doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did.
There’s a restless ache in your heart, something you can’t quite put your finger on. A part of you is whispering that it’s time to change.
-
You keep trying to get help from others, but their assurances feel lacking.
-
The stories other people tell us about ourselves have a way of sticking to our bones.
-
This is where our work comes in.
Hi, I’m Kimberly.I believe you can rediscover your sense of purpose, and embrace your unique joy.
Since the beginning of my career, I knew I wanted to help people connect with something inside of them that has been lost. I have focused my practice around those who feel they are “not enough” because they deserve a place where they can finally breathe.
I’ve been where you are, and I know you can feel like yourself again. Therapy helped me, and it can help you, too. Whether it be learning new coping skills, processing painful experiences, or rewriting old stories about yourself, therapy is the place for you to heal.
I specialize in therapy for healing deep wounds.
How I Can Help-
“Congratulations! You must be so excited to have a baby!”
—You probably hear something along those lines all the time throughout pregnancy and with a new little one. While you may be excited, it is rarely the only emotion you feel. Maybe you feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, angry, lonely, or… nothing. There may be days when you hate being a mom. Your identity seems lost in motherhood. You might wonder if you have postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or postpartum OCD. Perhaps your mind is stuck replaying a traumatic birth experience, and you just want relief.
—On top of all that, people warned you about the lack of sleep and all the stress, but no one told you about the lack of desire for sex. It seems like you and your spouse are having the same conversation over and over again. You’re sick of feeling like the bad guy. For some moms, sex hurts now. For others, it feels like too much to be touched by one more person after a day of caring for little ones. Some moms feel unsexy in their “mom-bod,” and some moms can’t turn off their brain from all the “to-dos.” My work helps moms just like you embrace their unique sexual energy. Let’s help you find yours.
—Whatever you’re feeling, I’ve got you. If you’re pregnant, we’ll work together to help the transition to motherhood with this new baby feel hopeful. If you’re in the thick of motherhood, I’m here to help you sort it all out and to start feeling like yourself again.

—All throughout your growing up years, you were told you were going to do amazing things. And now you’re… normal. You may be a stay at home parent. You may have a big career. You may own your own business. No matter what you do, you still feel like you’re a fraud, a let down, or living beneath your potential.
—You’ve lived with your inner critic for as long as you can remember. Maybe it even feels like your inner critic is you. Read this next part carefully: your inner critic is not you. It is telling you a lie— the truth is, beating yourself up is not the only reason you have any success in life. You are not going to turn into a pathetic slob the second you stop whipping yourself. In fact, this inner critic is fueling the anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms you’re experiencing.
—If that’s you, don’t worry— I’ve got you. All that anxiety about not being enough, and all that depression about your life ticking away… let’s work on it together. You don’t need to have it all figured out to be embodied in the life you have now.

—It’s tricky to write about trauma. So many people discount what they’ve experienced— they don’t think that it “counts.” So what can I write to let you know that it’s alright to name you have trauma? Let’s try this: There are “Big T” Traumas (the ones we all think of: war, assault, rape, car accidents) and then there are “little t” traumas. Those are the ones hard to identify. They can be the years of being the emotional dumping ground for your parents. It can be a miscarriage. It can be anything that makes you feel stuck, separate from your present life, and unable to adaptively cope. Whatever it is, let’s get you feeling like you.

—EMDR is a tried-and-true form of therapy that helps fast-track deep healing and trauma reprocessing. It is powerful, and I’ve witnessed it work many times. I’ve invested years in specialized training in order to guide you through the EMDR process.

“My time working with Kimberly was truly a gift…”
“She accepted me as I was in each moment and crafted a safe and welcoming space to be fully authentic, to lay down a heavy load, and to sort through it all. Her questions and approaches encouraged deep exploration, impactful reframing, and valuable self-discovery. She met me with love, compassion, understanding, and grace, skillfully yet effortlessly guiding me back to myself over and over again.
Kimberly cared deeply about creating a relationship in which healing could take place. She made space for celebration and grieving, holding the spectrum of experiences and feelings that were present along my journey. In each session, I knew she heard, understood, and valued me. And, in her valuing of me, I was able to more fully value myself. In our time together, I felt truly seen and immensely supported.”
