Welcome to Desert Lakes Counseling! I'm Kim, and I'm a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping teens and adults heal, grow and move forward with confidence.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. My practice is rooted in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) - an evidence based approach that helps many people find relief from painful memories and emotional triggers more quickly than traditional talk therapy alone. I also draw drom other proven methods, including CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and solution focused therapy, tailoring every session to your unique needs.

My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel supoported and understood. I believe that everyone has the innate ability to heal and change, and with the right tools, this is possible - even when life feels overwhelming or stuck. 

Whether you're seeking to process trauma, reduce anxiety or depression, or find healthier ways to cope with life's challenges, I'm here to walk alongside you in that journey. 

Outside of therapy, I enjoy life with my family, including my 5 dogs, and I value the same balance, authenticity, and resilience I encourage in my clients. 

At Desert Lakes Counseling, you don't have to go through it alone - healing is possible and your story matters.
