Therapist for Women & Adults Navigating Life Transitions, Trauma, and Identity

Hi, I’m Kim. I help people create a more compassionate relationship with themselves while navigating the complexities of life. Whether you’re working through relational or childhood trauma, processing grief, facing a major life transition, or just feeling stuck in anxiety or self-doubt—I’m here to support you.

I create a safe, empowering space where all parts of you are welcome. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life experience. As a divorced mother of two adult daughters who started fresh later in life, I know how disorienting transitions can be—and how much strength it takes to begin again. You don’t have to do it alone.

I specialize in working with women from the BIPOC community who are navigating the intersection of race, gender, class, and sexuality. Therapy with me is a space to explore your identity, challenge generational patterns, and reclaim your voice. I’m passionate about making therapy accessible, relatable, and culturally attuned—especially for those who’ve been told they had to keep it all together for too long.

When I’m not working, you can find me soaking in the energy of a live jazz set, exploring Chicago’s farmer’s markets, or finding peace by the lake.

Location

I see clients in our downtown Chicago office, just steps from both the Metra and the “El,” for in-person therapy sessions. I also offer online therapy for anyone located in Illinois.

Many of my clients come from neighborhoods like River North, Gold Coast, Old Town, Lincoln Park, Lake View, Logan Square, West Town, Wicker Park, Bucktown, Ravenswood, Andersonville, South Loop, and West Loop—as well as surrounding areas like Evanston and the North Shore.
