Personal Statement

Kimberly’s passion for children is nothing new. From the time she was barely old enough to babysit, she was planning and hosting “summer camps” for young children in her backyard. Even today, if in a large group of people, she would likely be found interacting with the children in the room. Kimberly’s ability to connect with kids is something that comes naturally and is apparent to anyone who knows her.

As a mother herself, Kimberly knows that parents want the best for their children, but sometimes “life happens”, and we are faced with concerns or struggles that are often overwhelming. Kimberly firmly believes, however, that children are extremely resilient, and this resiliency is what drives Kimberly in her work.

She has seen time and again that children can be faced with difficult circumstances, and, if addressed appropriately, can come through stronger and better equipped to face future challenges. Through therapy, Kimberly is able to connect with each child to help him/her feel a sense of safety and acceptance, which better allows the child to work through the issues at hand.
