I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) since 2018. My experience in the behavioral health field began in 2010 with work in various settings: Group housing, therapeutic support within a preschool setting, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Partial Hospitalization (PHP), and outpatient counseling. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from Seton Hall University. I am also trained in trauma-informed care. I seek to create a safe, calming environment for all of my clients.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
First session is considered a psychobiological intake. I will take current and historical information about the client to get a full picture of the case. Then I explain to clients what to expect in a session with me. I then answer any questions they may have.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Stress/Anxiety Mood Grief/Loss Relationship issues Self-Esteem Asperger's Trauma (Certified) Transitions/Life changes Emotion Regulation Difficulties Cognitive and Learning Difficulties Women’s issues Developmental Stages Concussion Recovery Pain
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Ages 16 to 70. My experience is best in the 16- 50 age group.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Utilization of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for mental health, self-esteem, self-confidence, and negative state of mind concerns.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I am not certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for a variety of concerns. Skills are centered around emotion education, distress tolerance, focus/mindfulness, and interpersonal skills.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I have been trained in Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I use this treatment with acute and complex trauma cases. Utilization of a prolonged exposure technique to trauma experiences. Clients process their trauma narrative, at their pace, until the memories resolve from emotional (Limbic System) memory to historical memory.
EMDR
I am on my way to earning a Certification in EMDR therapy. I received my training from Mind Works. The training was heavily focused on the neurobiology of mental health issues and how EMDR can be helpful to resolve these concerns. As with all the trauma therapies I do, I encourage holistic practice. It is important to rewire the body, as well as, the brain.

I just don't think we vibe. I need someone a little more energetic and validating

I had a good first session with Wendy. She provided me with explanation and was helpful. I also was happy to hear she had direct experience with my diagnosis and was able to connect well with me.

Wendy was very kind; it's a So Far, So Good situation for an intake with me. But your app is broken and I can't change my password.
