Her approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and helping individuals develop the insight and coping skills needed to navigate their lives with greater confidence.

Kimberly’s path to social work grew from an early interest in the connection between physical and emotional well-being. After earning her bachelor’s degree in Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition Services from Colorado State University, she became a Certified Health Coach and developed experience helping individuals work toward their health and wellness goals. She later earned her Master of Social Work in Clinical/Medical Social Work from Widener University while continuing to build her professional career.

Her experiences ultimately led her toward mission-driven nonprofit work, where she found an opportunity to combine her professional skills with her passion for service and meaningful community impact.

In addition to her clinical work, Kimberly is deeply involved in community engagement and organizational development. She supports partnerships, fundraising initiatives, events, and outreach efforts that help expand access to mental health services, and she has also contributed to volunteer and corporate engagement programs serving communities throughout New York City. Kimberly believes strongly in the power of teamwork and recognizes that meaningful change is rarely accomplished alone. She encourages aspiring social workers and other professionals to breathe through challenges, give themselves time to learn and grow, and remember that success does not require individual perfection. For Kimberly, the most rewarding work comes from bringing people together, creating opportunities for others, and contributing to a mission that makes a lasting difference.
