Hi, I’m Kendra — a Licensed Professional Counselor and the therapist behind Authentically Kind Therapy. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and takes notes, well maybe sometimes. I show up as a real person with honesty, compassionate, and curiosity — because I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine connection.

I work with adolescents, young adults and parents who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of who they are beneath all the expectations. My style is down-to-earth and conversational; I’ll listen deeply, ask meaningful questions, and gently call you out when something isn’t serving you. Together, we’ll unpack the patterns keeping you stuck, build healthier ways to cope, and help you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels grounded and real.

When I’m not in therapist mode, you can usually find me with coffee in hand, spending time with my husband and kids, recharging outdoors or bingeing reality TV.
