About me
I am Kenda, who has been practicing therapy for over 7 years and enjoy working with men, women, children, couples, and teenagers. I have successfully worked with people who have experienced previous trauma and/or transitional issues in their lives, from changing jobs or home, to entering into new relationships, or upon termination, and have used both long- and short-term forms of adult therapy, helping them all find fulfilling lives. I strive to be a friendly, caring and understanding counselor to help you feel comfortable and safe during the counseling process.

Reviews
Friendliness of your therapist 😁
In therapy sessions, I aim to strike a balance between friendliness and professionalism. While I maintain a warm and welcoming demeanor with my patients, I also uphold the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship.
Assertiveness
I believe in setting clear boundaries from the beginning of the therapeutic relationship, outlining expectations for behavior and participation in sessions. However, I also understand the importance of flexibility and adaptation, as each person's needs and comfort levels vary.
