Hi, I’m Kendal! I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, it can be a space filled with warmth, creativity, and even moments of fun. I have a growing passion for play therapy with children. My hope is that I can experience the light shine through in those who might not open up as naturally. Meeting people where they are at is my favorite starting point to get to the finish line.

Trauma, grief, stress, anxiety and depression can all effect how we view life. The thoughts that run through our minds and feelings in our hearts effect our bodies, behaviors and reactions. The first step to regaining real healthy control over your life is building awareness of your body, emotions, thoughts and behaviors. Learning healthy ways to cope is equally important. There are many moving parts that are crucial for good mental health functioning. Having a treatment plan and an experienced professional to help guide you through all these moving parts will help ease the struggles that go along with your journey.
