Couples Therapy and Discernment Counseling in Washington
Real Help for Real Relationship Problems
No more talking in circles. No more sleeping back-to-back and hoping it’ll fix itself. If you’re fighting about nothing and everything all at once, or feeling more like roommates than partners, you don’t need more half-hearted talks. You need clear, honest help, and that’s what I provide.
What You’ll Take Away
New ways to talk, listen, and understand
Tools to break old patterns that drain you both
A plan for what’s next, not just aimless venting
Why Couples Across Washington Trust Me
I’m direct, warm, and unafraid to name what’s keeping you stuck. I’ll help you cut through the blame, say what you really mean (even the hard shit), and figure out what comes next. No sugarcoating. No wasted time. Maybe even a laugh in the middle of the mess.
12+ Years of Guiding Couples Through the Hardest Moments
I offer couples therapy, discernment counseling, and intensives for couples anywhere in Washington who are stuck, distant, exhausted, or quietly Googling divorce lawyers at 2am. I’ve spent over a decade guiding hundreds of couples like you through their hardest seasons, and the moments that feel impossible to find a way though.
“If you want a therapist who’s all cookie-cutter ‘how does that make you feel,’ Kimberly is not it. If you want someone who cares enough to challenge you, push you, and back you up — she’s it.”
