Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Fremont, CA

As a psychotherapist who works with couples my passion lies in helping couples navigate the challenges and complexities of their relationships. I believe that strong and healthy relationships are the foundation for overall well-being and happiness. I understand that every couple is unique, with their own set of dynamics, communication styles, and issues. My approach to therapy is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each couple I work with. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where couples can openly express their thoughts and feelings and work towards resolving conflicts and improving their connection.

I'm passionate about helping others who are earnestly seeking change, especially when their current state creates or sustains pain. It isn't an easy process, but positive change is possible when you have a safe space, compassionate support, and the right tools. Getting to witness clients find their voice and heal from their wounds is one of the best parts of this work.

Are you holding it together on the outside but on the inside it feels VERY different? Do you feel gripped by anxiety, self-doubt, anger, fear, or numbness? Having thoughts that you are not enough, or too much, or that you should be perfect? There is a reason this is happening. I believe change happens through compassionate accompaniment in intentionally held spaces that allow us to explore and integrate parts of ourselves that are causing inner tensions. Through an accepting and supportive environment therapy helps to regulate emotion and promote lasting change.

You don’t understand why your family causes you so many sleepless nights. You need someone to talk to but feel shame bringing up family issues or you don’t know where to start. You try to please everyone but you end up being the unhappy one. You cut off toxic family relationships but this leaves you feeling guilt, loneliness, and resentment. To prove yourself, you work hard and sometimes overcompensate. Past unresolved issues consume your energy, make you question yourself, and become hesitant to try a new relationship. You don’t want to be your parents but you don’t know how not to. You doubt if you can live a different life.

My name is Kendra, and I have a very informal approach to therapy. I enjoy laughing and commiserating with my clients and believe that they are best supported by a nonjudgmental therapist who truly cares about their well-being. I work from a strengths-based approach, and as a university professor, I love to connect science and research to help understand everyday issues. I hope to cultivate a space in which people can be their authentic selves and feel safe and supported as they do so.

Sometimes it can be really challenging to make time for ourselves and for our mental health. For some of us, it's even more difficult when our identities and culture held no space for our feelings or emotions. We may have had to put up with crossed boundaries, invalidated feelings, unrealistic expectations, and conditional love that depended on how much we have accomplished. Those difficult and maybe even traumatic experiences that we, and our families, have lived through may have been written off as "this is just how things are." Although we may want to rest and pause, we instead might begin to feel shame or guilt for doing so.

I’ve learned that we all will experience pain, hardships, and valleys - where we could use some hope and help, to find our way out.

In those difficult times, trauma’s effects, emotional wounds, life burdens, relational challenges, and transitions - can seem insurmountable to navigate, and sometimes struggles enter our life: by surprise, at length, or in great abundance.
