I am a specialist in grief, loss and trauma encompassing the entire spectrum of women's maternal mental health. I help women(and their partners) with healthy pregnancies, postpartum depression and anxiety, pregnancy loss, terminations and infertility - whether through stillbirth, miscarriage, late term loss, IVF/IUI failures, selective termination or pregnancy releases (aka abortion). Sadly, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage and 1 in 8 will have trouble with conception. I blend psychology, ritual, spirituality, reiki, energy healing, guided meditations and more to help facilitate and support women, couples and families.

Are you struggling with a poor connection with yourself? Are your inner thoughts around shame, guilt, judgment, and self-doubt affecting you physically? Therapy has played a crucial role in helping me gain self-awareness, confidence, and trust in myself. It has enabled me to identify my truths, embrace my authentic self, and step forward with courage. As my self-compassion increased, my mind and body connection started to harmonize, and self-regulation became easier. I believe that everyone has the potential to improve their mind-body connection, leading to a more fulfilling life and making more room for joy.

My name is Kendra, and I have a very informal approach to therapy. I enjoy laughing and commiserating with my clients and believe that they are best supported by a nonjudgmental therapist who truly cares about their well-being. I work from a strengths-based approach, and as a university professor, I love to connect science and research to help understand everyday issues. I hope to cultivate a space in which people can be their authentic selves and feel safe and supported as they do so.

My ideal client is one who is ready to do the work! Yes, if we do the work then life becomes an opportunity to love, live, and live life. One of my former clients who just happened to have been an Emmy and Tony award winner stated, "Siri has the formula." I have humbly bowed my head at the feet of several masters. Now is the time when I am being called to lovingly share what I have learned as I hopefully elevate others in the process.

If you have experienced trauma, you may feel that you "should be over it" by now, but are still struggling with the long-term impact of trauma, such as anxiety, depression, shame, and relationship difficulties. I work with people who have experienced all types of trauma, from big single events like an accident or a nature disaster, to stressful, repeated events that can cause life long emotional damage, like bullying or emotional abuse.

Therapy is all about self-acceptance and rediscovering yourself. In therapy with me, I will learn about you as you are your own self expert, you know yourself best. From there, we learn what has been working and not working for you. The relationship we build in therapy is essential to the effectiveness in your treatment. I also have experience in multicultural and biracial issues.

I believe everything in us, biologically, psychologically, and spiritually, is oriented toward survival. Survival of our surroundings, communities; survival of past experiences and present circumstances; survival of what might be. Survival is an awesome force constantly at work on our behalf. It's a resource working in our favor that deserves honor and respect. But here’s the thing- surviving is not thriving. Surviving is not necessarily healing. So many of us feel a call towards a better quality in our everyday experiences, relationships, and within ourselves and communities. We feel an internal movement towards thriving.

I work with all types of clients, but primarily "Type A" women who are familiar with the desire to control aspects in their lives. They long for deeper meaning in their careers. They want a true intimate partnership with a spouse/partner. They are tired of doing life alone. They are afraid time is running out and wonder if marriage and/or motherhood will be a possibility. They are seeking greater balance and peace within themselves, while at the same time, harnessing their innate power.

Do you feel pulled in too many directions? Are there times when you feel invisible, unheard, under appreciated or overwhelmed? You deserve some restorative stillness - a moment (or an hour) to tune in, to connect and be compassionate with yourself. Often, the experience of psychotherapy - reflecting on your life's events; establishing and nurturing your true self; discovering your hidden patterns - is a radical gesture of self care that can change the course of your life.

Are you feeling stuck? Sometimes, it can be confusing to even know why you feel this way or what's causing it, but you know that something just doesn't feel right anymore. Whether it's due to relationship issues, work stress, other life issues, or a combination of any/all of those, therapy can help provide relief and get you back to who you were/would like to be. This can mean looking to your past to help explain the present or identifying outdated roles and narratives that you are living by, which no longer serve you.

For those struggling with intimacy, shame, depression, trauma, or just feeling alone, there's nothing more therapeutic than a good relationship. What most people yearn for is to feel heard, accepted and understood. My approach is to provide an understanding, empathic, non-judgmental relationship in which we can explore your feelings and experiences with the goal of improving your quality of life. Every person has their own style of relating to themselves and others, born out of their history. My training gives me the tools to help you understand your inner life, and forge new patterns of relating.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
