I'm blessed to have helped clients having a wide range of issues, from OCD, ED, ASD/ADHD, BPD, PTSD, CP/medical, PPA/PPD, to generally struggling with life's ups and downs. I am elated by clients whom are honest with themselves and their therapist ... even if they don't start off "wanting" to come to therapy, they're open to be nudged by therapy into a transformed version of themselves (and their lives).

Skillfully guiding my cherished clients to that aha moment of "Yeh, Wendy, I CAN do this and I have the tools I need to master my ____".

Therapy can be an empowering decision to invest in yourself.

I'm genuine, I'm good at what I do, and I'm deeply passionate about providing high-quality, unparalleled, and authentic care.
