hello,

I’M KJ Nasrul

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, musician, speaker, and collector of stories.

In case we haven’t run into each other on a windswept San Francisco Beach or gnoshing at Oakland’s Mac + Cheese shop Homeroom , my name is Kimberly, but please call me KJ.

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (which means, I study and counsel on relationships), a musician, a speaker, and a collector of stories. I also am a Psychological First Aid Responder with extensive experience providing mental health support to families impacted by disasters, both natural and man-made.
