About this Provider

Kim is a bilingual therapist with five years of experience in human services and social work. She holds a bachelor’s degree in social work and public health from Wartburg College and a master’s of social work from Washington University in St. Louis. Originally from Costa Rica and a first-generation Latinx student, Kim came to the U.S. in 2016 on a full-ride scholarship—an opportunity she describes as life-changing. Her career has spanned roles in community outreach, medical social work at Mayo Clinic, and therapy, with a strong focus on social justice, immigrant advocacy, and equitable access to care. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, training her future service dog, and spending quality time with loved ones.
