About Wendy
Welcome! It is wonderful that you have decided to explore therapy. My approach is to bring warmth, expertise, trust, respect, and validation to any person courageous enough to seek out therapy in their journey towards emotional, mental, and personal growth.
I deeply care about your needs, whether it be daily struggles, deep trauma, obsessions, the exhausting push/pull with body image or eating, or those complex areas that need a seasoned guide in a therapist.
I use evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Somatic Therapy, ADHD Coaching, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and more, to move my clients toward their ultimate goals. I have a warm, positive, and seasoned approach that creates trust.
