Her tone is encouraging and down-to-earth for people taking the first step toward support.

Kendra centers sessions on each person's story and strengths. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what’s getting in the way and practical steps that can help. Her approach blends looking at past patterns with skills for managing difficult moments now.

Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful style. Kendra listens for how attachment, life transitions, and personal meaning influence day-to-day coping. She draws on mindful awareness and narrative work to help people make sense of loss and change.

Her background includes 18 years of professional experience and training in approaches that address grief, trauma, and long-term stress reactions. She brings clinical and counseling psychology education and practical experience supporting people through major life events and caregiving challenges.

Kendra encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy. She frames the process as a team effort where the client’s priorities guide each session. Those interested in beginning are invited to use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches work in online counseling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional reactions. It can help people understand why certain relationship patterns feel familiar and how to build different responses. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective, offering a respectful, listening-based space to talk through concerns and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then practices concrete strategies to change them and reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Then she and the client will try methods that fit those goals and adjust as progress or challenges appear. This collaborative process helps people find what actually helps in their daily life.

Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continued work through life transitions and grief when attending in-person appointments is difficult.
