Dr. AJ Kimm

Do you ever feel worn down? Disconnected? Powerless? Have you ever wondered if there is more to life than what you're currently experiencing or if anyone could understand what you're going through? Are you ever afraid to be more fully yourself - maybe because you know what it may cost in an unjust world - or confused about what being you would even mean? However you arrived, welcome.AJ Kimm is here to be with you. To work on undoing the aloneness that becomes part of the human experience when we don't have access to the resources we need or when we have experienced pain in relationships. To offer company as you (re)connect with yourself, community, nature, whatever gives you life.
