Have you ever wondered what therapy could be like using art materials and activities?
Using materials like paint, clay, and pastel, you'll explore your emotions, build self esteem, take healthy risks, problem solve, and sometimes just play and discover! You'll also practice coping skills, mindfulness, body awareness, relational skills, boundary setting, emotional regulation, & dive into how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed, or have you experienced something difficult or traumatic? Are you looking for support to heal, or to explore something new? As a relational counselor, I attend to how the counseling relationship and connection feels to you, and welcome your feedback. I work from a lens that affirms your identities and lived experiences, and that centers liberation. I am trained in somatic, creative, nature-based, and existential therapies, and draw on these approaches in counseling sessions.

My approach is rooted in evidence-based methods, including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment theory, narrative therapy, art therapy techniques, and a person-centered framework.
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to honoring individuality and multiculturalism. Every client brings unique experiences and values that shape their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Using Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model, I consider the ways relationships, cultural norms, and societal factors influence your well-being.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist, I offer a space that goes beyond just talking—integrating conversation with creative and experiential approaches when words aren’t enough.
Therapy with me is a space where we can slow things down and actually make sense of whats going on beneath the surface. Sometimes that looks like talking things through, gaining clarity, and feeling truly heard. Other times, when words don't quite capture the experience, we can use simple creative or visual approaches to explore things in a different way.

Art therapy uses tools that make traditional talk therapy an embodied experience.
If you're new to art therapy you may not have known creativity can unlock deeper understanding and connection. Sometimes we get stuck on a judgmental message from 1st grade that we aren’t “good” at artmaking. Well, I say forget that! You ARE inherently creative and it’s okay to explore your whys and hows using the logical AND intuitive sides of your brain.

Hi, I’m Kendra, a somatic psychotherapist with over 12 years specializing with anxious overachievers to create real, embodied change and a life you love! You're successful on the outside, but inside you feel stuck in overthinking, always needing to be productive, or looping in old addictive patterns you can’t seem to shake. You struggle to give yourself permission to just chill or be creative, you want more presence + fun in relationships, & you want to be able to unwind without food, alcohol, or mindless scrolling. If this resonates, you’re not broken— on an unconscious level, your body may not feel safe with change. Yet.

Working from an art therapy background art or mark-making can provide space for the non-verbal to become verbal.
As individuals embark on the journey of therapy, they navigate a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts: Overwhelm (will I ever feel ‘normal’ again?) Anxiety & Worry (how is talking going to help me?) Fear (will this pain ever go away?) Asking for help (I’ve never needed it before!) Self-Esteem ( I wish I could feel good about myself) I work with individuals ranging in age from preteen (12) to adults. I work with struggles in relationship issues, trauma, addiction, and emotional overwhelm such as depression and anxiety.

As a Depth and Jungian psychotherapist, with a background in art and visual effects, I am often looking to find the hidden metaphors in one’s life story and help contextualize the journey that an individual may be on.
You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or addiction and seeking insight into this life journey you are on. Perhaps you seek to understand the complex tapestry your life has become in order to find healing for the pain you have always carried, or maybe you’re struggling with a lack of direction or low self-esteem. I also guide people through the loss that accompanies life transitions, including the death of a loved one, a career change, or another transition such as midlife, empty-nest, divorce, or health recovery.
