Hello and Welcome! I'm Kendra and I love helping people through my unique background in education and mental health counseling. You have probably been feverishly searching for the right person and you have finally found the right one. Do you have trouble staying organized, focused, or remembering to do things? Do any of those things cause you to feel anxious or worried? Do you find yourself being anxious about things that are out of your control?

Welcome! I’m glad that you are here today; taking the first steps to find a therapist and begin treatment is courageous. I work diligently to ensure the therapy space is an inviting, supportive, and comfortable space for you to begin your exploration and growth. I believe an important part of therapy is making sure that you have a strong, positive relationship with your therapist, so I work hard to ensure we have time and space to get to know one another. I work with adolescents and adults with various experiences and reasons for seeking help. I use aspects of CBT, mindfulness, and self-compassion to individualize your care.

There are many reasons that bring diverse people to seek out help and support, from unexpected life changes, developmental changes and challenges to experiencing significant traumatic experiences. Responses to stress can show up as increased anxiety, changes in behavior and tools that have previously been used to manage stress are not working anymore. As a Therapist I believe it is my role to create a safe environment and provide a space people are comfortable talking about the cause of their stress.

Are you a high achiever dealing with anxiety, low self esteem and lack of confidence? Is negative thinking creating imposter syndrome where you simply are not reaching your full potential? Is your past co-existing in your present moment causing disruptions in healthy relationships and other important areas of your life? Are you always saying yes to others leaving very little room for taking care of yourself? If you can relate to any of these statements and feelings, I could be a good fit to help address your current life needs.

In a non-judgemental, respectful atmosphere I accompany people along their journey to living richer, more meaningful life. I encourage people to broaden their awareness into their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors to identify strengths and whats working and challenges and how they are getting in the way. Recognizing the the mind-body-spirit connection, understanding healthy and antiquated defenses and increasing capacity for feeling a greater range of emotions at a deeper level is an important focus of the psychotherapy process. Identifying feelings, understanding reactions and learning better, more effective means of communicating with others is integral as well.
