Our Strength Is Our Team!

While we would like to believe one counsellor could do it all, we understand that our clients are best served by therapists that focus on specialized areas, then if needed work as a collaborative team. We aim for excellence in the work that we do!

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.
