Welcome to
Heart Work Therapies
Compassionate Therapy Rooted in
Depth, Meaning & Connection
At Heart Work Therapies, you are invited into a space where healing begins with being seen, heard, and understood—just as you are.
Led by a humanistic therapist with a Jungian orientation, our work honors the whole self: your emotions, stories, symbols, dreams, and inner wisdom.
Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or a deep sense of disconnection, we approach therapy as a collaborative journey—not to “fix” you, but to help you rediscover who you are beneath the wounds.
Meet Kim - Therapist at Heart Work Therapies
Kim is a warm, compassionate therapist who specializes in
working with children, teens, adults, and families facing
anxiety, trauma, and life’s emotional challenges. With a deep
belief in each person’s capacity to heal and grow,
Kim creates a safe, affirming space where clients can show
up authentically, explore their inner world, and begin
meaningful change.
Whether through conversation, art-making, or reflective exercises, Kim helps clients move toward clarity, self-compassion, and lasting emotional growth.
Many of Kim’s clients come to therapy seeking support with:
-
Healing from anxiety, trauma, or past experiences
-
Managing stress, overwhelm, or self-doubt

Building confidence and healthy coping strategies
-
Strengthening relationships and family dynamics
Kim blends the practical tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the healing power of Art Therapy, skillfully combining talk therapy with creativity and visual expression. This integrative style allows clients to explore their emotions, patterns, and goals from multiple angles—often uncovering insights that words alone may not reach.
She works with individuals from ages 8 to 99, guiding them through their personal journeys toward greater self-worth, emotional resilience, and a more hopeful, empowered future.
In her work with couples, Kim helps partners reconnect, rebuild trust, and foster deeper communication. She also partners with parents, offering tools and insight to support their child or teen’s therapeutic progress both in and out of session.

The Humanistic Approach:
You Are Not a Diagnosis
The Humanistic approach places you, the whole person, at the center of therapy—not just your symptoms, history, or labels. It is grounded in deep respect, empathy, and authenticity.
Key principles include:
-
You have an innate capacity to grow, heal, and thrive
-
Therapy is a collaborative relationship, not a top-down process
-
Your unique values, choices, and experiences are honored
-
Emotional pain is met with compassion, not judgment
This approach emphasizes present-moment awareness, self-acceptance, and helping you live more fully and freely.
What to Expect in Therapy
Therapy is a gentle unfolding—not a quick fix, but a meaningful process.
You can expect:
-
A safe, confidential space where you can bring your true self
-
A blend of deep conversation and reflective practices (like journaling, art, or dream exploration)
-
A therapist who listens with curiosity, not judgment
-
The freedom to go at your own pace—no pressure, no agenda
Some sessions may feel exploratory and reflective, while others focus on supporting you through emotional pain, relationship challenges, or life transitions.
The Jungian Approach:
Healing Through Depth & Symbol
Inspired by the work of Carl Jung, the Jungian approach invites us to explore the unconscious parts of the psyche—those beneath-the-surface thoughts, emotions, images, and patterns that shape our lives, often without our awareness.
This approach includes:
-
Dream work: Understanding the messages and symbolism in your dreams
-
Exploration of archetypes and the “shadow”: Uncovering hidden aspects of the self
-
Creative expression: Art, imagination, and storytelling as paths to deeper insight
-
Individuation: The lifelong process of becoming your most whole, authentic self
Jungian therapy helps you reconnect with meaning, inner wisdom, and the deeper layers of who you are.
Art Therapy Options
Art Therapy is a form of mental health psychotherapy that uses creative expression—like drawing, painting, sculpting, or collage—to help people explore their emotions, process difficult experiences, and improve overall well-being.
You don’t need to be “good at art” for art therapy to be effective. The focus isn’t on the final product—it’s about what the process of creating reveals, and how it helps you feel, think, and grow.
Licensed Art Therapists are trained mental health professionals who guide individuals in using art to communicate thoughts and feelings that may be hard to express with words.
Art therapy can be especially helpful for those dealing with:
-
Depression
-
Anxiety
-
Trauma & PTSD
-
Grief & Loss
-
Stress
-
Low Self-Esteem
-
Behavioral Challenges
-
Life Transitions
It provides a safe space to explore emotions, reduce overwhelm, and build coping skills.
