PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY & CAREFULLY:

WHO AM I: I was awarded "Employee of the Year" of 2020 a time that the world was plagued by pandemic. I understand how to meet individuals and families where they are and how to empower them to become experts and leaders in their own care. Aside from grief, death & dying, I specialize in anxiety, depression, and building stronger and healthier relationships with self and others.

In 2015, I received my masters from The University of Maryland- Baltimore which has maintained a top 20 ranking in the USA. Two of the main system approaches used are Client-Centered Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Disclaimer: Processing thoughts and feelings via TEXTING is limited and if you prefer TEXTING as your primary means of communication please consider finding a better fit of therapist. Sorry in advance. Thank you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kendall is the greatest. He has helped me accelerate my growth in my mid 20’s and I’m incredibly grateful to have found him.

Reviewed August 2022

I have left a review in the past but happy to do so again! He is relatable, professional and always gives the comfort of not being judgemental and gently reminding me I'm there if and when I need him! Calm and patient! And have only used Kendall with better help as my therapist!

Reviewed August 2022

I want to write and let you know how amazing my therapist, Kendall, is. I've been working with him since April and it has been great so far. Kendall listens to my needs and respects what I want to get out of our sessions. He isn't judgmental at all and always makes it clear that this is my journey and I'm in control. I'll be honest, I have used BetterHelp in the past and didn't have a great experience with a previous therapist. They were the exact opposite of Kendall. They were very judgmental about my personal preferences and frequently compared my life experiences to theirs. I'm glad that I found a new therapist that I really connect with and is helping me see the growth that I'm looking for.

Kendall is one of my most important tools in my journey of life. He is a guiding voice, makes me feel heard and accepts me as I am. Kendall doesn’t only focus on talk therapy- he asks tough questions. He challenges me and has helped me navigate my thoughts, emotions and behaviors. He is the reason why I am able to have better relationships today. I am grateful to have Kendall as my therapist.

Reviewed June 2022

I was discouraged initially after giving a few therapists a try, but then I had a session with Kendall and I haven’t looked back since. I can’t give enough praise. He is an amazing listener. You’ll never have to tell him something twice, and makes you completely comfortable with being as vulnerable as possible. He gives so many tools to refer to and educates you in how to better manage your thoughts and emotions. His expertise and how he applies his knowledge has made this whole experience as painless as possible for this heavily guarded girl. Do yourself a favor

First session done, next one here I come! I’m excited to start working on my mental health and the hardest step is done.
