Couple Embracing Outdoors

You can handle almost anything —
except feeling this disconnected.

You can run a company, lead a team, or keep an entire household on track — but when your relationship starts to slip, none of that matters.

The skills that make you unstoppable out there can leave you stuck in your relationship: problem-solving when your partner wants presence, leading when they need listening, avoiding conflict because you’re already carrying so much.

I work with high-achieving, motivated couples who want more than survival — they want sustenance.

My approach is no fluff, emotionally grounded, and built for people who expect excellence. Whether you’re rebuilding after betrayal, caught in the same painful arguments, navigating neurodiverse differences, or simply feeling the distance grow —

therapy with me gets you back to solid ground.

Reps Matter: Couples Therapy That Gets Results.

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.

Break free from the endless battles that lead nowhere. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based, active, and structured approach that helps couples overcome communication struggles, intimacy issues, and high conflict. Using proven methods, EFT helps couples break free from patterns that keep replaying over and over—one partner yelling, the other shutting down—the cycle of disconnection and anger. By expressing softer emotions, couples therapy helps rebuild trust and strengthen both emotional and physical bonds. Weekly or biweekly sessions are available.

Jump-start 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 both be met with care and understanding.

You were drawn to each other for a reason. But over time, the differences that once felt intriguing may now leave you feeling misread or alone. In our work together, we slow down meaning-making and judgment, see each other’s amazing strengths and how they enrich the relationship, and learn to lower defenses and frustration so connection can grow again.

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.

No more doing it alone. No more staying stuck in fear or disconnection. Whether you're working to reconnect or deciding whether to stay or go, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Discernment Counseling can help.

I'm also a highly trained and experienced Emotionally Focused Individual Therapist.  If you're looking for individual therapy for divorce, attachment trauma, or midlife reinvention please see my other website: Brave Season Therapy.
