It was hard for me to join therapy because I was afraid of the hunt for a fit therapist. Kendra is great! Very easy to talk to. Great listener. Offer resources and insight as to why I may feel this way and discuss things I can practice to improve. This experience has been a life changer for me and I would highly recommend.

I really enjoyed your council method. I liked that you asked me questions that would help me reflect and work through my issues. I noticed that you never jumped to conclusions but allowed me to open up and express myself without fear of rejection or judgment. I can't thank you enough.
