Kimberly first began working in mental health while at the University of New Hampshire, interning at a local homeless shelter where she fell in love with connecting with residents and their experiences. She then interned with a domestic violence advocacy group, answering the 24-hour hotline and accompanying women to court, which sparked her passion for domestic violence awareness and supporting survivors.

 

After graduating from UNH in 1997, Kimberly earned her master’s degree at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. Her internships at two elementary schools and an outpatient mental health organization gave her experience teaching, facilitating student groups, and working in homes with children and families.

 

In 2000, Kimberly joined the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, again working in homes with children and families. She then found her next home at Lancaster Elementary School in Salem, NH, where she stayed for 22 years. Drawn to grow as a clinician, she spent two years at LifeStance Health before following her dream of opening her own private practice.

 

Kimberly integrates evidence-based approaches with a client-centered, trauma-informed lens, with a particular passion for helping individuals who feel stuck in cycles of emotional pain, self-doubt, or unhealthy relationship dynamics. She is dedicated to helping clients move beyond survival patterns toward clarity, empowerment, and lasting change.

 

Kimberly is also committed to education and advocacy, creating content that makes complex psychological concepts accessible and helps individuals better understand themselves and their healing process. Through her work, she supports clients in reconnecting with themselves, building resilience, and creating more fulfilling, authentic lives.
