I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker ( LCSW ) with over 20 years of experience as a therapist working with diverse populations and age ranges. I received a Master of Social Work Degree from Temple University with a concentration in Direct Service. My Bachelor's Degree in Psychology was obtained at La Salle University. I also have a certification in advanced drug and alcohol counseling. I have worked with clients experiencing a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, psychosis, substance use disorders and vocational, educational, social and familial stressors.
My therapy style is warm, engaging and non-judgmental in order to highlight the unique strengths of each individual. I am dedicated to meeting people where they are and creating a therapeutic alliance based upon trust and mutual respect. My integrative approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT ), Ecological Systems Theory, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Trauma Informed Care.
I look forward to joining with you and supporting you each step of the way along the path you choose at your own pace and within your own context. In my spare time I enjoy literature, travel, culture and quality time with my son. Fun fact! I graduated from the Beasley School of Law at Temple University in 2009.

Written on Mar 11, 2024 after therapy with Kimberly for 2 weeks on issues concerning grief
I am 69y/o and I've been in and out of therapy throughout different phases of my life. I was given a therapist by Better Help to help me deal with anxiety. With her help I have worked through my journey of divorce, living alone, retirement and just aging in general. As the onion peeled back we delved into some family-of-origin issues which for me was the source of my anxiety. Kim has been the best therapist I've ever had, hands down. She keeps me on track and guides me through my though processes as if she's known me her entire life. If you are hesitant about starting with therapy online, don't be. Take the step. You're worth it.

Kim is amazing. She has in depth knowledge of many useful tools and at the same time she is able to think outside of the box and tailor the therapy to my individual need. She is practical and effective. She always surprises me with a new angle on how I am viewing my situations. Our sessions are engaging and I am often thoughtful throughout the week about our discussions.
