Kendre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is committed to helping children and their families learn to thrive in the face of challenge. Kendre specializes in early childhood ages 2-5, school age children and teens. She also takes special interest in working with children who have a loved one with a disability and/or chronic illness.

As a child of a parent with a chronic illness and sibling to brothers on the autism spectrum, Kendre’s unique combination of lived and professional experiences inspire her to help children and their families navigate themes involving uncertainty and unpredictability. Kendre specializes in providing individual and family psychotherapy to children and families navigating anxiety, adoption, divorce, disability, chronic illness, neurodivergence, grief, and traumatic stress.

Kendre enjoys working closely with the caregivers of her clients to provide them with:

  • The skills to support their children's emotional and psychological needs
  • An understanding of how their life experiences show up in their parenting
  • Attachment focused recommendations to promote and maintain connection while also managing competing family needs
  • An age-appropriate narrative for children to better understand their experiences, current circumstances, and what is to come
  • A path forward with increased ability to cope with stress and uncertainty with less conflict and increased connection.

    • Kendre is a certified Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) provider with additional experience in play therapy, sensorimotor informed therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), sandtray, and Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS). She believes in a relational, collaborative, playful, and supportive approach to helping clients reach their goals.

    Kendre received her B.A. in Human Development from Washington State University (go Cougs!) and Masters of Social Work from Portland State University.

    In her spare time, Kendre enjoys spending time with her loved ones, crafting, going to concerts, and cheering on her favorite teams (Trailblazers, Thorns, Seahawks, and WSU cougars).
