Kindred creates a supportive, collaborative space where clients can feel understood while addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. She is committed to helping people identify practical solutions, increase resilience, and develop healthier patterns for everyday life. One area that is especially meaningful to Kindred’s practice is supporting individuals who have recently been discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She understands that the transition from inpatient care back to daily life can feel overwhelming and uncertain. Through compassionate guidance, structured support, and evidence-based therapy, she helps clients regain stability, strengthen coping skills, and continue their recovery journey with confidence and hope. Kindred specializes in helping people facing anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and eating disorders. She also works with individuals experiencing ADHD, grief, life transitions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, school avoidance, and other emotional or behavioral concerns. Her therapeutic style is personalized to each client’s needs and may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with additional evidence-based approaches when appropriate. She has experience supporting teens and adults through significant periods of change, including early adulthood transitions, midlife adjustments, women’s mental health concerns, and challenges related to self-esteem and identity. Her goal is to help clients gain greater self-awareness while building practical tools that support long-term emotional wellness. Kindred earned her education from the University of North Georgia and Mercer University, where she developed the clinical foundation that guides her work today. Outside of the therapy office, Kindred enjoys gardening, watching movies, playing video games, running, walking in nature, weight-lifting, and spending time with friends and family. She also enjoys listening to audiobooks and podcasts, reflecting her lifelong curiosity and appreciation for personal growth. For individuals seeking therapy in Georgia for anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, difficult life transitions, or support following a psychiatric hospitalization, Kindred offers compassionate and clinically informed care through LifeStance Health.
