Kim views her role as a counsellor to offer guidance to identify goals, and work towards achieving the changes you feel will most benefit your life and relationships.  Previous clients have described Kim’s approach as down to earth, compassionate and practical.  Kim believes in developing effective problem-solving skills and stress management strategies that can support positive self-development.  Different life experiences will impact us in unexpected ways, and counseling can help us process experiences that are having an unwelcome impact on your emotions and day to day functioning.  Anxiety and depression can result when these difficulties go unaddressed.  Together we can process the challenges you are experiencing and restore hope, healing and happiness.

Kim offers individual and couples therapy.  She is also able to offer counseling to families experiencing parent-teen conflict. Kim is experienced in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance misuse, grief and disordered eating.  Kim is also a practicing Christian so if your faith is important, we can also approach counseling drawing on spiritual teachings.

Kim has a Masters of Social Work Degree from the University of Regina and has worked in a variety of social work settings resulting in familiarity in different systems, policies and legislation. 

Kim was born and raised in Regina, is married and has two teenage “bonus” children.  Kim enjoys hobby photography, singing, cooking and spending time with her beloved border collie Bowzer and cat Koopa.  Adventure is important to Kim and she loves to travel whenever the opportunity arises.  Kim enjoys being outdoors camping or ice fishing depending on the season.  She has a large extended family spread across Canada and the US.  Kim enjoys planning events and bringing people together.
