"It's been an honor."
That's how I would describe my life and work—it's been an honor to have the experiences I've had, share life with the people I've known, and serve where I've served.
And yet, it's never easy is it? Something about our lives presses in on us from all sides. Our families of origin speak to us and shape us in ways that are comfortable and uncomfortable, our relationships and careers demand the best parts of us, when at times there can feel like there isn't enough of 'us' to go around.
Counseling gives us a chance to step back and listen. What are our lives telling us about who we are? What are our relationships, patterns and behaviors, saying about the things we value? What does it mean to be who we are, and how do we view a more focused version of the uniqueness of that image? What might our faith, spirituality, and wellness have to say about it all?
I'm Kimmie, and it would be an honor to take this exploratory journey of life and hope together. I've been a High School educator here in the Valley for over 20 years, and I have a B.A. in History from UC Santa Barbara, a Master of Education from Stanford, and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara. I offer psychotherapy using multiple modalities and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I focus on areas of life transition, work stress, grief and loss, and grief and loss of spouse or family member, anxiety and depression and purpose. I have experience, and love working with parents and families, and work with individuals, adolescents, young professionals, couples, and (blended) families.
I look forward to meeting you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
