Therapy in Old Town Alexandria
Therapy for people who are used to carrying a lot.
You may be the person everyone counts on while quietly feeling overwhelmed yourself. I help adults and young adults work through anxiety, past trauma, relationship patterns, and the pressure to keep it all together.

Individual therapy for adults and young adults
EMDR Therapy
In person + online
When getting through the day takes more than people realize.
Maybe you replay conversations long after they end. You say yes before checking what you need. Or you have built a life you care about, yet find yourself feeling disconnected, stretched thin, or unsure why the same problems keep returning.
You do not need a perfectly clear explanation to begin therapy. We can start with what feels difficult now and make sense of it together.
Support for the life you are living now.

A Personal Approach
Hi, I’m Kendra.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR Trained Therapist. My practice is in Old Town Alexandria, and I also meet with clients online in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and clinical experience to our work. We can talk through what happened this week, notice a pattern that has followed you for years, and consider what might help you respond differently.
A thoughtful place to begin.
1
Start with a free 15-minute phone consultation to talk about what you are looking for and ask questions.
2
Use the first sessions to share your history, identify what matters to you, and begin shaping our work together.
3
Check in as therapy develops so the pace, focus, and approach continue to make sense for you.
