Enough is Enough—Time to Shift the Story

If you’re tucked in the same fight, the same silence, the same ache—it's exhausting. It’s maddening. And it doesn’t just go away on its own.

Here’s the truth: nothing changes if nothing changes.

In couples therapy, I help you slow down, get honest, and do the real work of facing what’s actually driving the disconnection. This is where you stop avoiding and start actually doing something different. You’ll learn how to stop reacting, start reaching, and—if you’re both willing—begin rebuilding something that lasts.

If one or both of you is on the fence, we name that, too. Discernment Counseling offers a structured, short-term process to figure out what’s next—with clarity, not pressure.

Staying stuck comes with its own price.

If you're ready to move—really move—I'm here to help you get there.

Break free from the endless battles that lead nowhere.

Through proven methods, EFT lowers conflict, rebuilds trust, and strengthens both emotional and physical bonds.

Accelerate your healing journey without compromising your busy schedule

with a Couples Therapy Intensive.

Discovering that your partner has cheated can feel like the ground’s been ripped out from under you. For the partner who’s done the hurting, the shame and regret can be just as overwhelming. You might both be spinning—angry, raw, unsure what’s even salvageable.

This is the part where most couples get stuck. But with the right kind of support, it’s possible to slow things down, understand what happened, and figure out what healing could look like.

I also work with couples navigating sexually compulsive behaviors—where secrecy, fear, and hurt run deep. This isn’t surface-level work. But it’s honest. And you’ll be met with care.

You want to stop fighting. You really do. But it keeps happening—the same blowups, the same distance, the same shame. Things get loud, or cold. Words come out that you wish you could take back.

Maybe you find yourself thinking, How did we get here? How did it get this bad?

Under all the anger, there’s pain. There’s fear. There’s longing to feel close again—even if it’s buried under layers of hurt.

You don’t need someone to take sides. You need someone who can help you slow it all down and get underneath the yelling, the silence, the sharp words. Someone who can help you see the pattern and shift it—together.

Discernment counseling is for couples at a crossroads, uncertain whether to stay together or part ways. If you’re on the brink of divorce or separation, it offers a clear, compassionate process to explore your options. Together, we’ll work to decide whether the relationship can be repaired through therapy or if it’s time to end things with respect and clarity. It’s a thoughtful, non-judgmental process to help you make the best decision for your future—whether that means working through challenges or moving forward separately.

Hey, I’m Kimberly—but Kim works just fine.

You want this to work—you really do. But right now, it feels like you're out of tools, out of words, and maybe even out of time. I want you to know: it’s not too late.

I help people in the thick of it—marriages on the brink, relationships stretched thin, hearts worn down. And here’s the thing: real change is possible. There is a way forward.

I see my role as your consultant—someone who walks with you, offering insight and observations as you come into contact with the shifts that need to happen for your relationship to thrive. Together, we’ll interrupt old patterns, test new ways of connecting, and build something stronger—whether that’s healing together or parting with clarity and care.

This work is hard, but it’s also full of hope. And I’m here to help you find your way back to what matters most.

Let’s get to work.
