Feeling stuck, anxious, or exhausted? Let’s talk about what’s next and how to move forward.

Hi, I’m Kendra, a licensed master social worker with nearly 10 years of experience supporting individuals of all ages—kids, teens, and adults. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where your voice matters most. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional challenges, and life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, and tailored to what you need. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s going on and build tools that actually help. I’m trained in Somatic Attachment Focused EMDR to safely process difficult experiences while reconnecting with the body and emotions. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, Sand Tray, and play-based techniques. By utilizing a variety of therapy techniques, we’ll work together to find what best supports your growth. What if therapy could help you feel more like you again? It’s never too early—or too late—to start healing. If you're looking for a space where you feel seen, supported, and ready to move forward, I’d love to connect.
