Kem is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Prior to receiving her MSW from The Brown School at Washington University
in St. Louis in 2005, Kem worked with homeless women and children as a case manager. Since her graduate degree,
Kem has been a School Social Worker, as well as a part-time adjunct academic advisor for MSW students and
volunteer program coordinator for young adults participating in a career development year through the National
Benevolent Association.

Kem is passionate about and has received specific training in mindfulness-based strategies, grief counseling and
women’s issues. Utilizing mindfulness has been a beneficial modality when facing issues of grief, depression, pain
management and anxiety. The pressures we might feel from society or the expectations we tend to place on ourselves
can feel overwhelming. Kem will help to restore some sense of balance and navigation that fits your individuality, while
providing you the time and safe environment to explore, remember and grieve.

Kem believes in the importance of a collaborative client/therapist relationship and supports the therapeutic process
with hands-on, practical and educational solutions to utilize throughout your daily life. Together, we will consider a
holistic approach, creating an authentic environment in order to facilitate real change.

Knowledge is power. We will work to identify strengths and weaknesses, explore new ideas and create proactive
behavior patterns and thought processes to build a sense of empowerment and positive engagement in your life.
