About Me
Hi! I’m Kendra (she/her). My goal as a therapist is to empower people to overcome the challenges they face and learn to thrive with their whole being. My approach is warm, affirming, and relational as I seek to develop a safe space and trusting relationship for my clients to grow.
With an intersectional, anti-oppression lens, I work hard to support people in finding and living as their authentic selves in what is often a challenging cultural environment.
Originally from Montana, I’ve been a happy transplant to Bellingham for the past 14 years. I enjoy dabbling in the arts, nurturing green and growing things, and delving deep as I learn new things. I identify as neurodivergent, and I experience a family life rich in complexity, challenges, and joy as my husband and I parent our neurodivergent child.
My own participation as a client in therapy has been transformational in my life, and I am so honored to be part of the same work with my clients. I have been providing mental health therapy since 2008 and hold a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Seminary School of Psychology. I absolutely love being a therapist, and although this work is hard, I delight in the many moments of healing, laughter, and connection that happen in my therapy room.
For me, therapy is relational. The work I do with clients is built on trust and connection. You will find me to be warm, honest, and real. I practice from a person-centered, intersectional-feminist, trauma-informed, and attachment-based orientation. Interventions I use include parts/ego state work, narrative therapy, and EMDR. I have significant training and experience in the areas of women’s mental health, complex trauma, neurodivergence, and perinatal mental health. I am both LGBTQIA+ and neurodiversity affirming, and I welcome clients of all belief systems.
I do not provide therapy for minors, couples, or those outside the state of Washington.
