My Approach to Therapy
Kendra’s therapeutic style is holding, curious, and transparent. Utilizing psychodynamic, Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing techniques, Kendra specializes in helping young adults and adults navigate depression, anxiety, and life transitions. She also uniquely works with athletes and “former” athletes, exploring themes of identity and perfectionism.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?
We will begin wherever you are at. I will stay with you and listen carefully for what is troubling you. We will work on integrating your feelings with your thinking. As I get to you know you, we will also explore feelings that are outside of your conscious awareness, but still greatly impacting your experience of life. You do not need to come to session ?prepared? and no topics are taboo.
What can I expect to gain?
A stronger sense of self.
Increased self-compassion.
A clearer understanding of your behavioral and emotional patterns. Examination of your attempts to cope and an understanding what is useful versus what no longer serves you and why.
A sense of aliveness.
