What to Expect: From Booking to Your First Session

Taking the step to begin therapy is a big deal—and I’m so glad you’re here. Here’s exactly what you can expect from the moment you request an appointment to our very first session together. No guesswork, just clear and caring steps forward.

Step 1: Request Your Session

Request a session time that works for you. This kicks things off!

Step 2: Let’s Coordinate

You’ll hear back from me personally with available times within 24 hours. I’ll make it easy to find a spot that fits your schedule.

Step 3: Complete Your Intake Paperwork

Once we’ve got you on the calendar, you’ll receive intake paperwork via email from my CarePatron platform. This platform allows me to keep all your information HIPAA and GDPR-protected and secure. Ideally, this should be completed at least 48 hours before our session so I can get a sense of what you’re bringing in—and how I can best support you. If you’re a couple, I will send it to the person making the appointment.

Step 4: Get Your Zoom Link + Calendar Invite

I’ll send you a Zoom link and a calendar invite directly to your email—everything you need to show up prepared and at ease for our 50-minute session.

Step 5: Our First Session

We’ll meet virtually on Zoom for 50 minutes of focused, grounded conversation. In most cases, by the end of this first session, I’ll be able to help you identify the core pattern your relationship is caught in—and what’s keeping you stuck. It’s powerful, clarifying, and the beginning of real movement.

My goal? To create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with clarity.

Ready to begin? Request a session and let’s take the first step together.

    Direct Conversations: We tackle the tough stuff head-on.

    Quick Results: Many couples see noticeable changes in just a few sessions.

    SCHEDULE

  • Kendall works virtually anywhere in the world. Sessions are 50 minutes long and ideally are scheduled weekly or bi-weekly.

    Schedule Now.

  • Thanks so much for your interest in working together. I wanted to briefly explain why I don’t accept insurance for my practice.

    While my fee is $125 per session, the approach I use—Relational Life Therapy (RLT)—is different from traditional talk therapy. RLT is built for speed and depth. It’s directive, highly practical, and often leads to meaningful progress quickly—sometimes even after the very first session, especially when both partners are open and ready to do the work.

    Because of its unique structure, RLT doesn’t fit neatly into the medical model required by insurance companies. It’s not long-term or diagnosis-based therapy. It’s targeted, results-driven relationship coaching designed to create real shifts, not just insights.

Evidence-Based Practices in Three Phases

Joining Through the Truth

This phase is about compassionate confrontation. Kendall speaks truthfully and directly about your behaviors, especially those that are destructive or avoidant. The goal is to help you become aware of your relational patterns.

Owning your Relational Truth

Here, Kendall will help you and your partner take responsibility for your part in the relational dynamic. You will examine the roles you play, often shaped by early family systems or trauma, and begin to reclaim your relational integrity.

Learning Relational Skills

Once the groundwork is laid, this phase is about practicing new behaviors that support healthy, intimate relationships. You’ll learn how to speak and listen with love and respect, set boundaries, repair ruptures, and stay connected without losing yourself.

 FAQs

  • The most important question to ask your practitioner is, “ Have you done your OWN inner work.?”

    Nobody wants to work with someone painfully perfect.

    I’m a fellow traveler just like you. I’ve been divorced, struggled with infertility, become a step-mom, experienced profound loss with the sudden death of my Mom and Brother, and I’ve had cancer twice.

    Yup, I’ve experienced a lot of the worst things a person can face, and I’m thriving. That isn’t an accident.

    I’ve done my inner work and learned the skills I can teach you.

    I learned because I worked with my own Relational Life Therapist, AND I have worked with some TERRIBLE therapists. I know what a waste of time that is.

    This is the most critical question to ask your practitioner. Have you done your work? Do you continue to do the work?

    If the answer isn’t ‘Yes,’ find someone else.

  • Traditional couples therapy may fail to yield results due to its heavy reliance on impartiality. This means the behaviors harming relationships often aren’t addressed, so couples can’t make the necessary changes. Like other therapies, Relational Life Therapy teaches relationship skills, but first, we deal with the part of you that doesn't want to use them.

    Our work seamlessly integrates individual and couple treatment into one therapy to empower you to continue building authentic connections for life. description

  • Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is a cutting-edge, results-driven approach designed to transform relationships quickly and effectively. Unlike traditional therapy, which often focuses on introspection and gradual change over time, RLT dives straight into the heart of relational dynamics. It identifies unhelpful patterns, teaches practical tools for connection, and emphasizes direct, compassionate communication. By addressing the core issues with precision and clarity, RLT fosters breakthroughs that create lasting change in a fraction of the time, empowering couples to rebuild trust, intimacy, and understanding with tangible, actionable steps.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) focuses on exploring and healing the different "parts" of an individual, fostering self-awareness and internal harmony. Relational Life Therapy (RLT), on the other hand, centers on the dynamics between partners, helping couples recognize and shift patterns that harm their connection. While IFS is deeply introspective and individual-focused, RLT is direct, results-oriented, and relationship-focused, offering practical tools to create immediate and lasting improvements in relational health. Both are powerful, but RLT excels in rapidly transforming the way partners relate to and support each other.

  • Absolutely! Kendall works with clients worldwide through secure virtual sessions, making her expertise accessible no matter where you are. Meeting virtually allows you to experience the transformative power of Relational Life Therapy from the convenience and comfort of your home or office. This flexibility ensures you get the support you need without the location limitations.

  • Sessions are 50 minutes long and designed to meet you right where you are—there’s nothing you need to prepare in advance. Kendall will guide the conversation with curiosity and compassion, helping you explore challenges, identify patterns, and practice tools to improve your relationships. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, creating a safe and productive space for growth and transformation.

  • The number of sessions you need will depend on your unique goals and the pace at which you want to work. Kendall will co-create a personalized schedule at the end of your first session that fits your needs and lifestyle. Typically, clients engage in therapy for about 6-12 sessions, or 3 to 6 months, to achieve meaningful, lasting results. However, this timeline is flexible, and we will adjust as needed based on your progress and the depth of work you'd like to do. That being said, RLT is built for speed. Many couples and individuals get results after the first session.

  • While Relational Life Therapy (RLT) focuses on transforming relationship dynamics, Kendall also offers Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) as a complementary specialty. EFT is a powerful tool for addressing anxiety, depression, PTSD, pain, and limiting beliefs. Integrating EFT into your RLT work can help you release emotional blocks, reduce stress, and create a stronger foundation for healthier relationships.
