"Trauma of any kind (exposure over a long period of time or a single catastrophic event) is not over when it's over-even when we have successfully survived," Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma.

Praise from Happy Clients

An image of Dr. Tara Reeves
"Kim helped me with multiple issues; trauma, work and relationships. She was easy to talk with, no nonsense. Kim helped me get to the root of issues that have held me back. She gave me my confidence back and tools that will help me in the future." -K.P."

I’ve been with Kim for about 4yrs. The impact she has had on my healing journey is astronomical. I will only work with her. She makes me feel heard, understood and challenges me to dig deep. I would not be where I’m at today without her. I look forward to our sessions even if I know it’ll be hard; she has a way of making me feel at ease at the end of the session. She has been flexible and supportive; I highly recommend her to anyone." -J.S.

"I truly believe Kim changed my life with EMDR.I started working my dream job a month ago, have been happy in my relationship, and just feel so happy and grateful!"-I.B.
