LCSW, 5 years of experience
Howdy y'all! I’m Kendra, your friendly Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience dedicated to helping people navigate life's challenges. Holding a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University, I’ve had the privilege of supporting the vibrant people of Florida. I'm a therapist who believes healing doesn't have to be stiff, serious, or done on a strict timeline. Sometimes, it looks like rolling in on two wheels to make it "just on time," venting about your day, and finally saying outloud "I'm really just tired of holding it all together." I work with adults who are overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out and being "fine" all the time just isn't working anymore. Whether you're navigating the mental load of motherhood, trying to find yourself again after a major life shift, or stuck in that loop of overthinking and self-doubt, I'm here to help you slow down, breathe, and feel human again. My style is warm, laid-back, and trauma-informed meaning, we go at your pace - no pressure, no judgment. I offer a supportive space where you don't have to have it all figured out; you just bring your whole, real self to therapy (messy feelings, messy bun, and all) and I'll bring curiosity, compassion, and a few solid tools to help you feel more grounded.
The first time we meet, it will be our opportunity to learn more about each other. It’ll be super chill and friendly—I want you to feel completely at ease sharing what’s on your mind. I’ll also fill you in on how this whole therapy thing works, so you know what to expect as we move forward. Building a good connection is really important to me, so don’t hesitate to ask any questions or bring up any concerns you might have. Together, we can start looking at some practical strategies to help you manage stress and boost your confidence. My main goal is to support you in the way that feels best for you, so you can walk away from our session feeling heard and hopeful. Can’t wait to catch up!
To me, therapy is collaborative. You're the expert in your life - I'm here to help you sort through all the noise, reconnect to yourself, and find a path forward that actually works for you. Reaching out can be hard, but it's also an act of strength! If you're ready to feel more grounded and supported at your own pace, I'd be honored to work with you.
You don’t have to have it all together to deserve support. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out—especially from the invisible mental load of motherhood or the pressure to “do it all”—you’re far from alone. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and those often unseen stressors that quietly wear us down. If you’re feeling stuck, numb, or like you’re not quite yourself, therapy can help you reconnect—with your emotions, your goals, and your sense of peace. Therapy isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about having a space where you can be honest, be vulnerable, and be heard without judgment. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and develop practical strategies that fit your life. Whether anxiety is making it hard to focus, depression is draining your energy, or burnout has taken the joy out of everyday moments, I’m here to support you in finding your way back to balance and wellbeing. If you’re ready to invest in yourself and your mental health, I’m ready to walk alongside you—offering empathy, understanding, and tools that empower you to manage life’s challenges with greater ease. You deserve support that meets you where you are. Reach out when you’re ready. You don’t have to do this alone.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected—and how to shift unhelpful patterns that may be holding you back. Unlike traditional therapies that primarily explore emotions, CBT is all about taking action, building insight, and creating real change in your day-to-day life. In our work together, we’ll collaborate to set meaningful goals and choose strategies that truly fit your needs. Whether it’s learning to manage anxiety, navigate relationships, or boost your confidence, CBT offers hands-on tools to help you move forward. Through thought-challenging exercises, self-discovery, and new coping skills, you’ll begin to feel more empowered and equipped to handle life’s challenges. CBT isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about helping you build lasting resilience, grow through challenges, and feel more like yourself again.
Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) is a compassionate, growth-focused approach that honors your inner wisdom and natural capacity for healing. Rather than offering advice or focusing solely on problems, PCT creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In this approach, the relationship between therapist and client is at the heart of the work. You’ll be met with genuine empathy, acceptance, and respect—no pressure, no judgment. You set the pace and direction of therapy, while I walk alongside you with support and curiosity. Together, we create space for self-discovery, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. Person-Centered Therapy can help you reconnect with your values, build a more positive self-image, and face challenges with greater confidence and clarity. It’s not just about healing—it’s about becoming more fully yourself.
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a future-oriented, empowering approach that helps you tap into your strengths and build the life you want—one step at a time. Instead of digging deep into problems, SFT focuses on what’s working, what’s possible, and what meaningful change can look like for you. Together, we’ll identify clear, achievable goals and explore practical strategies that draw from your own past successes, inner resources, and support systems. This process often brings a renewed sense of hope, direction, and motivation—especially when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. SFT is ideal for anyone wanting to move forward, build confidence, and feel more in control. Whether you're navigating a life transition or simply feeling stuck, this approach offers concrete tools to help you make real progress—quickly and effectively.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a powerful, uplifting approach designed to help you understand and transform the way you think, feel, and act. At its core, REBT empowers you to recognize the difference between helpful, rational beliefs and unhelpful, irrational ones—giving you the tools to take greater control of your emotional well-being. Through this therapy, you’ll learn how to challenge negative thoughts that fuel anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, replacing them with healthier, more balanced perspectives. REBT also supports you in strengthening your problem-solving skills and improving your relationships by encouraging personal responsibility and self-reflection. With practical strategies tailored to your needs, REBT helps you manage difficult emotions like anger and fear, while building resilience and emotional maturity. It’s a journey of growth and self-discovery that equips you to face life’s challenges with confidence and clarity—helping you become the best, most empowered version of yourself.
