About Wendy
Wendy uses straightforward methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered therapy to build a trustworthy working relationship. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to break down unhelpful thinking patterns and dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
Her background includes long-term work in private practice and in school settings. That experience shaped a collaborative style that asks what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions are conversational but focused, with an emphasis on skills people can use between meetings.
Wendy often supports people dealing with parenting stresses, grief, trauma or compassion fatigue. She also has experience with mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, ADHD, postpartum concerns, and issues related to adoption, foster care, and blended families. She helps people weigh practical options and find small, doable changes.
People who choose Wendy typically want a therapist who listens without judgment and then helps them plan realistic steps. She works with each person to set the pace and shape the work to match their life and goals.

How Wendy's approaches work in online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship so people can speak freely about what matters most to them. This helps when someone needs space to sort through feelings before trying specific tools.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that get in the way. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Wendy will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She aims to tailor work to your needs and adjust as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to continue the same kinds of CBT and client-centered work you would expect in person, while keeping sessions focused on practical steps you can use between meetings.
