Hi, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Kim.
I am a registered psychotherapist with 35 years of experience providing counselling to adults, couples, families, children and teens.
My specialized expertise is in anxiety, depression, ADHD and ASD, giftedness, acute and chronic medical conditions, special needs, and vicarious trauma for professionals and care-givers. I teach mindfulness as a way of finding peace in the present moment. Mindfulness strategies develop awareness of thoughts, feelings and automatic stress responses, so that we can learn to pause, stay calm, and choose how we respond in challenging interactions.
I help families develop a better understanding of their child's diagnosis, find ways to prevent conflict, and repair after a difficult interaction. In my individual work with adults, the conversation allows for deeper reflection. I encourage an attitude of self-compassion while exploring concerns in identity, relationship, work or life direction, self care and personal growth. For couples, learning about attachment styles will help partners become secure anchors for each other.
