New to Grow
Are you struggling with your relationship with yourself, food, or your body image? Does trauma, shame, or perfectionism feel like it's overtaking you? It can feel isolating and confusing trying to navigate life while struggling with these things. But, you don’t have to do it alone. I work hard to provide a safe, calm, and nonjudgmental environment for you to explore the root of your struggles, and learn ways to navigate through them to find your way to healing and recovery. Hi, I'm Kendall! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida.
Our first session is all about getting to know each other. I ask questions about why you're looking for therapy, what your past and present looks like, and what your goals are. The first session is also a great space for you to ask me questions that you might have, and for us to go over what therapy entails.
I always like to ensure that my clients feel safe and understood. I do this by giving people a compassionate and open-minded space that can often be hard to find. I also have experience working in multiple levels of care, including residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient. Seeing recovery at each step gives a unique perspective on the different challenges faced.
I work with individuals 18+ who are struggling with eating disorders, trauma, body image concerns, and anxiety. I am an LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent affirming therapist who uses a culturally sensitive approach.
Recognizing and reframing negative thought patterns is a useful tool in improving coping and resilience. I often help clients with reframing in sessions and explore ways to do this in your day-to-day.
I often use EMDR with clients who are feeling stuck, or clients who feel they have gone through therapy for a long time and still struggle with processing trauma.
A person's background has a big impact on treatment. I always keep this in consideration when determining helpful approaches, and I work with my client's to ensure this.
I like to use a blend of different modalities tailored to each individual client's needs.
