If you don't feel you fit what I've described, but you still think I'd be a good fit for you, reach out! I’d love to chat.

Hi, I’m Kendra.

I am real, just like you. I am personable, genuine, compassionate and straight forward, which makes it easy to talk to me about anything. I’m not your typical therapist. I swear, I have tattoos, I’ll laugh with you and cry with you. I have a dog named May, that may join us in our sessions. And I don't think therapy should be some stale, clinical, sterile experience.

I may have gone through lengthy education & training to be in the role I'm in, but that doesn't make me any better than you or the "expert" of your life. You're the expert of your life, it’s time you feel that way.

Judgement has no place in therapy. I am honored you choose to trust me, so no way am I going to tarnish that and ruin the therapeutic relationship with judging you. ​

Finally, if you put in the time, the effort, and the work during the therapy process, you will absolutely be transformed.

I'm willing to invest in you.
Are you ready to invest in yourself?

My Philosophy.

  • Everyone has something to work through.

  • Although difficult, you’ll never regret asking for help.

  • Imperfection is so welcome.

  • I want to know all parts of you and welcome them.

  • You are not better or worse than anyone else.

  • Taking care of yourself is attractive.

  • You’re SO worth the time, money, energy and effort spent in therapy.

  • It’s not about what you need to “do”. It’s about feeling, healing and learning how to deal.

  • If doing it alone worked, you wouldn’t be here.

  • Your new life may close some doors, and that’s okay.
