Supporting Your Well-Being

Kim grew up on a dairy farm in Foley, MN learning the meaning of hard work, but good fun and play, too. She has a great love for animals and nature. Her one and only child (a daughter) attends UND in Grand Forks, ND. She has a dog named Daisy and cats named Bentley and Pippi.  She attended Saint Cloud State University to earn a bachelor's degree in criminal justice, then years later returned to school at age 41 (it's never too late!!) to get her Masters' degrees in Addiction and Mental Health Counseling.   She enjoyed a successful radio broadcasting career for 19 years as a Farm Broadcaster, talk show host, and Morning Show co-host before becoming a Stockbroker/Financial Advisor for Merrill Lynch and Edward Jones for several years.  She was an advocate for the elderly at the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center before beginning her career as a counselor.  Most people describe Kim as compassionate and genuine, but with a straight-forward approach. Her sister's death from a long-time pain pill drug addiction is what led her to become a counselor....turning her pain from losing her best friend, into purpose. Kim's experience enables her to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care. She treats a number of mental health disorders, specializing in Complex-PTSD (adults struggling with issues from their childhood), depression, anxiety, self-worth and self-love, grief, and others. She provides a neutral ground to individuals, families, couples, and children (ages 4 and up). 

Kim's focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. She achieves this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. 

Kim promises to be there for you every step of your journey. Her goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
