About Kendra
With a passion for the human capacity to heal, Kendra is down to earth as she meets each client where they’re at in life. She takes a holistic approach to incorporate every aspect of her clients’ lives and stays focused on inclusivity and safety — with a dash of humour for good measure.
Kendra earned her Master’s degree in Social Work, and completed further training in Trauma Counselling, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Couples Counselling, and Sex Therapy. She has extensive experience supporting survivors of trauma, especially survivors of sexual abuse or domestic violence. With deep compassion and a high level of skill, she has seen her clients progress in their wellbeing and meet many of their life goals.

This process creates new opportunities for couples to reconnect, strengthen intimacy and navigate conflict with less tension.
Throughout her studies and personal life, Kendra has focused on healthy sexuality and spirituality. Working with individuals and couples, she aims to help each person find their own sense of healthy sexuality and relationship. She has spent significant time being an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights in faith communities and social service agencies and works hard at her allyship.
