About Kim

I became a therapist in 2018 as a second career. Early on, I fell in love with EMDR therapy as a practical and effective way to reprocess traumatic memories and experiences. I appreciated that EMDR could help people move forward without endlessly retelling the past, and I went on to become a Certified EMDR Therapist.

Over time, I kept hearing my clients talk about wanting to be tested for ADHD—most often high-functioning women who were overlooked as having ADHD when they were children. I also found myself loving the work of executive functioning support: helping people plan, focus attention, manage emotions, and achieve goals. For many clients, these challenges were still present even after trauma work, and addressing them directly made a real difference in daily life.

As I explored neurodiversity—through my work with clients and by learning more about my own neurodiversity—I went deeper into studying ADHD and autism. I now offer ADHD assessments for clients who want validation of their experiences and a clearer understanding of how their minds work, as well as therapy to help them function better in everyday life and release the shame that so often comes from not fitting into a neurotypical world.

My work today blends trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, ADHD-informed support, and practical skill-building. People come to see me for many reasons—trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, ADHD-related concerns, or simply wanting to understand themselves better—and my goal is always the same: to help them feel more confident, grounded, and at ease with who they are.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marital and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University and my Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences from Cal State San Bernardino. I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, a Certified EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA, and have completed training in Somatic Experiencing and Neurodiversity-Affirming ADHD Evaluation, along with ongoing continuing education.
