It takes courage to take the first step. I consider it a privilege to walk beside you on your journey to a more rewarding and fulfilling life. I approach psychotherapy in an integrative, holistic manner that incorporates an understanding of the inter-relatedness of mind, body, and emotional health. I provide a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your feelings and express yourself. Respect, compassion, and empathy are the cornerstones of my practice. I'll also challenge you in a direct, yet supportive and nonjudgmental manner, to help guide you on your quest for self-discovery while strengthening your emotional intelligence.

I am a trauma specialist working with developmental, relational, and shock traumas. Relationship is what we long for from our deep selves. From birth, our instinct is to connect in order to feel safety, comfort, and wholeness. This yearning moves with us throughout our lives. Connection gives us a sense of belonging and of being "okay". Be it the relationship with self, body, others, and life experience, the connection and flow of it is vital for healthy functioning. When the connection is blocked, frozen, or severed, a whole-self cannot thrive. Reconnecting is essential for our authentic self-expressions.

Relationships are everything––our relationship to ourselves, our relationship to others and to the world around us. We have an immense capacity to heal in relationship and in the right conditions we can grow and thrive. The famed psychologist Carl Jung wrote that we, “walk in shoes too small," meaning we limit our own potential, whether we are conscious of it or not. In that sense, the work of therapy is to broaden ourselves and fully embody the potential that awaits each of us. We aim to skillfully and artfully help you through whatever it is that brings you here to both surrender and grow into a more full and satisfying life.

I believe therapy is about connection. Therapy is based on the connection with your therapist to create a meaningful, supportive space to explore your most vulnerable emotions. Therapy can help you strengthen your connection with the people in your life in a positive and hopeful way. And most of all, therapy can grow your connection to your most authentic self. Therapy can help guide and support you through times of stress, build communication and interpersonal skills, and develop a deep understanding of who you are and what you want out of life.

What many of my clients share is a search to connect with a deeper understanding of themselves both as humans and, for some, as spiritual beings. Among them are international Angelenos and transplants, numerous creatives, healers, artists, writers and non-conventional people longing to heal, find new meaning, and re-connect with their inner wisdom and joy. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and German.

Therapy is successful when you have a therapist who understands you AND knows how to help you. I work with men and women navigating relationships, anxiety/depression, major life transitions, and family conflicts, all while trying to integrate two very different cultures – the one we’re born into and the one we’re living in. As a South Asian woman and a therapist for over 7 years, I understand how culture plays a huge role in our unique challenges and expectations.

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.

In treating anxiety, depression, challenging life changes, or identity issues, I accompany clients through a process of increasing insight, skill building, and self-awareness through a lively engagement with everything we might take for granted. Awakening (or reawakening) deep compassion and curiosity about ourselves and the world is the first step and the foundation of my treatment approach.
