About Kim
I believe that counseling is an opportunity to be deeply listened to and supported as you process stuck and vulnerable places. While key events from your past may help to organize our work together, I believe that healing is found in your present experience of symptoms and daily functioning. In counseling my goal is to work with you to identify your goals and concerns, moving towards transformation that deepens your self-awareness, expands your hope for the future, and strengthens healthy relationship connections.
My orientation to counseling is grounded in a Trauma Informed and Strengths Based approach. My work integrates Person-Centered Therapy, Family Systems Theory, and CBT. I come from a Christian faith-based perspective that sees you as a whole person who is worthy of love and healing while honoring your own individual values and beliefs.
As a wife, mother, daughter, and friend, I too have experienced the joy and pain that comes with living. I would be honored to partner with you on your own courageous healing journey.
Prior to joining Salem Pastoral Counseling, I was a Rehabilitation Counselor and Counselor Educator, working with individuals experiencing disabilities to address barriers to employment and daily living for 25 years. I have also led groups through the Soul Care recovery ministry at Salem Alliance Church.

I provide counseling services for individuals in Salem, OR and surrounding areas offering in person and virtual sessions. I also offer virtual sessions for anyone outside of the Salem area across the state of Oregon. My goal is to connect with clients at their current emotional state, offering empathy and compassion, while simultaneously offering motivation and support. You are the one that knows you best, and I strive to help you learn how to best engage with the self and utilize that knowledge. I aspire to help individuals learn to identify emotional and behavioral patterns that may be hindering a fulfilling life.
