Trauma: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) is an evidence-based treatment that helps individuals heal and recover from traumatic and disturbing events in their life. Our brains are designed to naturally heal and process traumatic events. When that natural healing process does not occur, traumatic events can lead to ongoing symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, stress-related issues, etc. EMDR helps the brain to heal from these traumatic events when natural healing does not occur. Kim is an EMDRIA Certified EMDR therapist.
DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a type of cognitive behavior therapy with a specific set of skills to help individuals regulate their mood, improve relationships, increase mindfulness, and get through a crisis effectively. DBT skills are very effective in helping individuals who struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other symptoms.
Family of origin/attachment related issues: Our family of origin is the family that we were born or adopted into that carries its own specific set of values, beliefs, roles, and rules. Kim spends time with her clients helping them to understand these roles, understanding Attachment Styles, learning about healthy vs unhealthy families, and healing from the deep loneliness that can occur when there is no emotional attachment to a caregiver.
Kim has worked in a variety of settings to include hospital, residential treatment, and outpatient community mental health. She enjoys working with teens, adults, and can provide group therapy. Kim is a former Full Operating Provider for Juveniles for the Colorado SOMB (Sex Offender Management Board) and has testified in court on multiple occasions.
She enjoys exploring Colorado with her husband and 3 boys, exercising, cooking, reading, and volunteering regularly at church and her kids' school.
