Wendy will meet you where you are and get you to where you want to be. Wendy is personable, and easy to relate to. She is passionate about empowering her clients, very optimistic, upbeat, direct, and a creative individual who strives to meet each client’s specific needs. Tired? Wendy will find the root of your issues.

We are very passionate about what we do, and would be honored to help you!
Thank you for reaching out for help, I understand how difficult this process is and how imperative it is to find just the right therapist for you.

I believe that there is always a root to your struggle. I utilize EMDR and IFS to get to that root, and then work with you to validate the pain, reprocess the incident, and learn how to restructure your reactions and responses to strong triggers and emotions. I want you to find insight and clarity to your emotions and feelings, and leave each session feeling empowered.
