Kendall is a is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has experience in providing individual, group, and family therapy services for clients.  Kendall completed her Master's of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Old Dominion University and her Bachelor's of Science degree in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise from Virginia Tech. As a therapist, Kendall has past experience working with individuals who have had previous traumas including but not limited to: sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking.. Her other experiences include working with individuals experiencing eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, substance use disorders, and other mental diagnoses. She strives to help clients gain insight, process their emotions, and help the client improve their life by obtaining the goals set out by the client at the beginning of treatment. Kendall primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a part of her therapeutic modality, incorporating Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) as needed. She recognizes that this theory does not fit everyone, thus she strives to adjust to meet the client's needs.  She believes that recognizing how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and influence our lives can be a powerful insight into improving different life-stressors. Kendall finds counseling to be the most successful when the client's voice is heard, understood, and incorporated into the treatment goals and plans.

 

Outside of work, Kendall enjoys spending time with her dog, Sadie, and her hamster Rosenesmee. She is an avid horror movie watcher, romance and fantasy book reader, foodie, and winery goer. Kendall's life motto is, "It's a great day to have a great day."
