You've survived the hardest times in your life, yet you can't seem to shake those lingering feelings of anxiety, shame, irritability, or self-doubt. Maybe it's hard to trust people, or to feel like you can ever fully relax. You are not alone. Together, we can begin to reduce the residual power those difficult experiences have in your life. As a person-centered, trauma-informed therapist, I will create a safe and comfortable space where we can walk along your healing journey together while gently teaching your nervous system that you are safe.

Hi, I’m Wendy, a Licensed Therapist dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

I enjoy working with first-generation individuals navigating “first” experiences, imposter syndrome, & cultural challenges.

Life can feel tough... You wake up each morning feeling stuck and unsure. There is no clear path to feeling better. Past experiences keep showing up when you least expect them, and your emotions get the better of you. It's lonely dealing with these feelings on your own, but you don't know where to turn. Hiding behind your mask is no longer possible. You've thought about asking for help but keep putting it off. Asking for help is on your mind and you are ready to take those first steps. The thought of confronting your past is scary, but you know that these old patterns are no longer serving you, and it's time for a change.

Life can get complicated and there is no handbook on how to handle things like depression, anxiety, addiction and relationship problems. It is important to know two things: 1. you are not alone, 2. challenges are always opportunities to grow and change your life. You are probably here because it's time to "do something different." Let us help guide you through this journey!

You're holding it together on the outside in your career, relationships, responsibilities. On the inside, something feels off. Maybe it's the anxiety that won't quiet down, the self-doubt that follows you into every decision, or feeling unfulfilled no matter how much you accomplish. If you're a woman in your 20s, 30s, or 40s who's tired of just getting by and ready to make improvements, this is the place for you. I work with women navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions. My approach is warm and direct, using ACT, and CBT to get to the root of what's keeping you stuck. Then we'll build from there.

Life can be stressful for adults, and children too. I specialize in working with youth and adults to process their past traumas and adverse childhood experiences. I utilize a cognitive behavioral, integrative approach, with a trauma informed lens and an emphasis on evidence-based therapies. I know that it can be difficult to talk about these events. That is why in therapy we will work at your pace to identify the impact that your trauma has had on your daily functioning and relationships. You will learn skills that help you express and regulate your feelings, challenge negative thinking patterns, and build healthy relationships.

I'm in-network with Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Oxford, Providence, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts.
No one tells you that you can LOVE your baby and still HATE how you feel. You wanted this. So why are you anxious all the time? Why can't you relax? Why do you feel guilty, overwhelmed, angry, numb, or like you've completely lost yourself? Motherhood isn't supposed to feel this lonely and you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm Eszter, a perinatal therapist (LCSW, PMH-C), and I help moms navigate pregnancy, postpartum, birth trauma, anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and the identity shifts that come with becoming a mother. Therapy with me is about helping you feel calmer, lighter, and more like yourself again.

You are successful by every external measure - and exhausted by an internal one no one else can see. The decisions you carry don't come with simple answers. They involve your business, your relationships, your sense of who you are and who you're becoming. You've tried thinking your way through. You've tried pushing harder. The weight hasn't lifted. I work with founders, executives, and high-responsibility professionals in California and Oregon who need more than traditional talk therapy. My clients are people who think deeply, carry heavily, and sense that the clarity they need requires going somewhere some therapy doesn't go.

Something shifted or continues to feel stuck — in your relationship, your sense of self, or the way you move through the world — and the strategies that once kept you going aren't working anymore. Maybe you're a couple caught in the same argument on repeat, unable to find your way back to each other. Maybe you're a new parent struggling through postpartum fog that nobody warned you about, struggling with your identity, or someone who has served their country and is still carrying what they brought home. Wherever you are, this is not a sign that something is wrong with you. These are the moments I do my best work.

It takes strength and courage to seek support, so I am glad you’re here. Healing, growth, change, and internal freedom are possible. Sometimes it is a matter of recognizing and taking care of the parts of you that have been neglected or hurting. Sometimes it is a matter of growing the parts of you that you were not allowed to explore. On the other side of these parts are connection, peace, joy, and strength. I am here to provide a safe space for you to start this journey with me.
