Online and in-person therapist in New Bern, NC

You have been carrying a lot, putting everyone else’s needs and dreams before your own. It’s starting to take a toll on you. You need an outlet.

You do not need to be fixed. You simply need to be heard by someone who actually understands and can help develop a plan to achieve your goals. I'd love to be that for you.

Hi there, I'm Kim.

The therapist behind KD Therapy. I value people, I value relationships, and I believe none of us can do this alone.

I spent years working with domestic violence survivors in rural North Carolina and active-duty service members during and after the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. I have also worked with patients who have experienced and survived cardiac events. Through all of it, one thing became clear to me: suffering is suffering. The circumstances may look different, but the human experience beneath is the same, and the way people cope with it deserves compassion, not judgment.

I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and substance use. My approach is conversational and present. I'm a Gestalt therapist, which really just means I show up as a whole person and pay attention to what you're saying, to what you're not saying, and to what's happening between us in the room.

When you leave a session with me, I want you to feel heard, I want you to feel understood, and I want us both to walk away knowing we have a real plan for your next step forward.

When therapy fits you, the results go deeper than just feeling better for a week.

You develop the tools and clarity to show up differently in your life. To be more present, more connected, and more confident in where you're headed.

I am trained in EMDR, Gottman, CPT, CBT, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic and Internal Family Systems. I work from a Gestalt framework, which is humanistic.
