Meet Kim

I am a somatic and expressive arts therapist working with adolescents, adults, and couples, and I don't do traditional talk therapy. What I do instead is meet you somewhere deeper than conversation has been able to reach.

Most of the people who find their way to me have spent their whole life feeling like they're translating themselves. They've maybe already sat in therapy, read the books, understood their patterns intellectually, and still find themselves reacting in ways they can't explain. Still bracing. Still overwhelmed. Still feeling the weight of something that insight alone hasn't been able to lift. Some are autistic or neurodivergent adults who have masked for so long they've lost touch with who they actually are underneath it all. Some are late-diagnosed and finally making sense of a lifetime of feeling different. Some have never been to therapy at all, they just know their nervous system fires too hot, too fast, or goes completely offline, and they're exhausted from managing it alone.

If that's you, you're not broken. You're not too much. You're not failing at being human. Your nervous system is stuck, and talking about it more isn't what's going to unstick it.

My work is grounded in the body. Through somatic therapy, expressive arts, EFT tapping, and IFS-informed imagery, we work with what lives beneath the words. For neurodivergent and autistic clients especially, this approach is often a revelation, because for the first time, you don't have to perform verbal fluency or find the perfect way to explain yourself. Art, movement, and body-based practices give your inner world a channel that doesn't require translation. You don't need the right language here. We'll find it together in a different way.

For couples, including neurodivergent couples and mixed neurotype relationships, I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy, but we go beyond conversation. We work with the patterns that play out in the body during conflict, the moments of disconnection that happen faster than either partner can think, and the nervous system responses that make it hard to hear each other even when you desperately want to.

I hold a Master's in Social Work and bring deep curiosity, warmth, and genuine respect to every person I work with. I believe healing is less about arriving at the right understanding and more about your body finally feeling safe enough to let something go. And I believe that autistic and neurodivergent people deserve therapy that actually works with how their nervous system is wired, not against it.

Outside the therapy room you'll find me with my family, near the water, wandering a farmers' market, or reading something that makes me think differently about how people heal.

If you've spent your life feeling like you were built for a world that wasn't quite built for you, this might be the place you've been looking for. I would be honored to walk alongside you.
