About me

Hello, My name is Wendy and I’ve been working in the field of Mental Health and Substance use for 30+ years. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients identify and change thoughts/behaviors that cause you to be sad, anxious, angry or stuck in patterns that aren’t helpful in living your best life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will get to know each other and start identifying why you have made the important decision to reach out for help.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I look forward to providing a nonjudgmental space for you to share your thoughts and begin to strategize together toward identifying what you want to change and a creating plan to get there.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have a passion for working with Seniors and those diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder.
