I have experience with children, adolescents and adults. I have serviced populations of people from diverse backgrounds, cultures and beliefs. I have worked with individuals who have severe and persistent mental illnesses such as Schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar I, as well as co-occurring Substance Use disorders.

WITH KIMBERLY

“Shouldn't I be healed by now?"

Let's talk about what this really means.
 

“Often times, we like to put things in timelines. It helps us understand how long something is going to take, and when we can expect to be through with it. Understand that healing is not a linear process. When life feels overwhelming, let's work together to sort it out. Don't suffer in silence. It is okay to not be okay, and you don't have to do it alone.” -Kimberly
