Hi! I'm Katie and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. I am client-centered and strongly believe in the therapeutic relationship being a safe and affirming space. I believe the client knows themselves the best, yet sometimes we get stuck in patterns that are unhelpful for us, and sometimes we need support in getting un-stuck to move forward in life. I listen from a non-judgmental place so you will feel heard, understood, and know that you have meaningful support. I want my clients to feel that they can be their authentic selves and for them to flourish in all the ways imaginable.

I find great meaning in working with clients who are struggling with past trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety. I enjoy working with people of all ages and from all different backgrounds. I believe the professional relationship between therapist and client should be collaborative, strengths-based, and genuine. I like to utilize different types of interventions, such as Guided Imagery, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused therapy, meditation, and mindfulness. I am always working on learning new modalities and activities to develop my therapeutic skills.

I have 30+ years experience working in Mental Health. I'm a graduate of KU School of Social Welfare and have vast experience working with diverse clients.

I work with individuals age 16 and up, as well as couples. My experience working in community mental health centers, in-home family services, and inpatient hospital settings help me pull from many different perspectives to support therapeutic, goal-driven growth and change. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma and PTSD.

Life issues are hard enough, but going through them alone or unsupported is even harder. You are not your symptoms and you are not alone. Counseling can be a powerful asset. Choosing the right therapist for you can be a daunting task. I would love the opportunity to see if we are a good match. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment so that personal exploration, reflection, growth, and positive changes can occur. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, other clinicians/mental health professionals, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

Kendall provides a dynamic, relationally focused, integrated approach to the treatment of substance-related disorders, addiction, and other commonly co-occurring disorders. She believes that the duality that has historically existed in the substance abuse/addiction field and the broader mental health field impedes client outcomes. She aids clients in gaining insight into the function of addiction in their lives, enhancing distress tolerance, and developing adaptive coping mechanisms. She emphasizes the ongoing cultivation of supportive, differentiated, interpersonal relationships to enhance prognosis for long-term recovery.

If you’re interested in becoming a better, happier, more fulfilled you, I’d love to work with you every step of the way. Please contact me! My personal goal as a clinician is to help you gain insight, access new coping skills and feel empowered. Whether you are struggling with trauma, suicidal ideations, addiction, or dual diagnosis, it is my goal to provide a different perspective with your concerns and help you better understand your emotions. I strive to provide safe and supportive space to encourage personal growth, hope, and healing.

Being accepted for who we are is one of our most basic needs as humans. With many pieces adding up to create a whole being, it is hard to find someone who can understand without having to explain every time we see them. Repeated explaining and misunderstanding can lead to a feeling of shame and uncertainty that can damage the therapeutic relationship before it starts. I work from a baseline of understanding to help create a safe space for my clients to learn and grow. Therapy should be a laboratory where you can experiment with how you interact with others and present yourself. You are the expert on you. I'm just here to guide.

To be human is to...struggle! I have the utmost respect for anyone who has the courage to look at themselves and realize change is needed. That is half the battle and I like to think of the therapy relationship as a team effort that helps you move forward to your goals.
