Kimberly Mai

ASSOCIATE MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST

You may be feeling overwhelmed as you stand at a crossroads in your life—whether in your relationships, school, everyday life, or career. During this time, it’s common and natural to feel intense anxiety, depression, hopelessness, fatigue, fear, or panic. These emotions are a natural response to challenging times and signal that multiple aspects of your life may be out of balance, urging you to take action and find relief.

Please know that you are not alone in this journey. I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, respect, and understanding, meeting you where you are. I have experienced my own traumas, grief, and struggles as a child immigrant and divorced mother of two teenagers. Together in authenticity, we can explore and harness your inner strengths, resilience, and dreams to begin the healing process.

By embracing a nurturing, collaborative, and creative style, we will focus on your unique experiences and needs. Together, we will uncover the underlying causes of your challenges and identify practical strategies that resonate with you. With compassion and support, we can work towards clarifying and achieving your personal goals in therapy and help you move toward a future filled with peace, love, and possibility.
