Great to meet you!

Hello my name is Kendra! I am a therapist with 2 and a half years of experience in the field. I've worked in various settings from private practice, community mental health, and acute care. I see any age from children to adults. I like to think of therapy as a conversation where you can show up as your authentic self with no judgement in order to reach your fullest potential.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients from a holistic client-centered point of view. I want my clients to feel like our sessions are a safe space for them to vent, process and also celebrate their wins. I also do trauma work by using EMDR and somatic practices.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we will focus on getting to know one another and outlining the goals that we want to work on during our time together. I like to use this time to address any questions or uncertainties that you may have about entering into therapy and help you feel confident that you are on the right path!
