Therapy that understands your nervous system and your story
Relational neuroscience explores how our brain and nervous system are shaped by early relationships, lived experience, and ongoing stress or trauma. It focuses on how regulation, connection, and meaning-making are createdbetween people…not just within them.
How This Approach Helps
Relational neuroscience is therapy supporting recovery from:
- Trauma and complex trauma (C‑PTSD)
- Dissociative patterns of survival
- Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress
- Attachment wounds and relationship difficulties
- Emotional overwhelm or shutdown
- Body image concerns and disordered eating patterns
- Feeling stuck, disconnected, or “too much” or “not enough”
By working with our nervous system through co-regulation between therapist and client, therapy becomes less about forcing change in you more and about creating the conditions where change can naturally emerge.
An Invitation
You don’t have to work harder or try to be different to heal. Your nervous system learned what it needed to survive — and it can learn something new when you feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure.
Relational neuroscience offers a path toward connection, integration, and change, rooted in safety, curiosity, and honoring for your unique lived experience.
Therapy that meets you where you are — and walks with you toward where you want to be.
FEE: $150-195
Choosing therapy is an investment in your flourishing through healing your nervous system and experiencing a healthy relationship inside of the therapeutic space. My fees reflect advanced training in relational neuroscience through doctoral candidacy and training. My time and intention is to create a thoughtful, attuned therapeutic space. I strive to be transparent and respectful around cost, and I’m happy to discuss fit, pacing, and options during our initial conversation*.
*Consultation does not guarantee clinical relationship. Consultation is a free 10 minute phone call to determine therapeutic fit and availability. Informed consent must be signed prior to becoming a client.
Immersive Training for Therapists
Trauma and the Nervous System
Applying Relational Neuroscience to Clinical Practice for Connection, Integration, and Change
About Kimberly
My clinical approach is informed by my advanced study of interpersonal neurobiology and the application of neuroscience to wellness.
As a doctoral candidate, the way I sit with clients has been informed by my dissertation, which explores how immersive, relationship‑based neuroscience training shapes professional identity, sense-of-self, and perceived clinical efficacy. This work has deepened my commitment to therapy that integrates implicit and explicit learning, nervous system regulation, and the therapist’s own embodied presence — not only to improve client outcomes, but to support clinician sustainability and reduce burnout. Together, we slow things down, listen to what your body and emotions are communicating, and gently build the capacity for regulation, connection, and choice. My approach integrates relational neuroscience, attachment theory, and trauma‑informed care to support meaningful, sustainable change.
Relational neuroscience–informed therapy can support:
- Trauma and complex trauma (C‑PTSD)
- Dissociative patterns of survival
- Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress
- Attachment wounds and relationship difficulties
- Emotional overwhelm or shutdown
- Body image concerns and disordered eating patterns
- Feeling stuck, disconnected, or “too much” or “not enough”
Supervision
Clinical supervision that supports you as a clinician. I provide collaborative, ethical, and practical supervision for therapists who want to deepen their work and avoid burnout.
