Hi, I’m Wanda, and I am happy that you found me here on Better Help! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides therapy to individuals, couples, and children/families. I am a supportive, engaging clinician who celebrates strength-based engagement and connection. I believe that therapy is for everyone, and that a pillar of the experience is authenticity. As your therapist, I will maintain a judgment-free space, a space that is open to everyone from all walks of life.
Through evidence-based practices such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness techniques, I support my clients in managing difficult situations and emotions. Together, we will develop coping skills and insights to manage overwhelming or confusing feelings.
I work with each individual and/or family/child to adapt therapy to meet their specific needs. My aim is to help you increase self-awareness and self-acceptance, and gain mastery over your challenges. I am affirming of diverse orientations, identities, relationships, and family systems. I welcome your email or call to explore if we're a good fit for therapy!

Wanda is a fantastic woman who listens very well and always shows up with a smile on her face. I greatly appreciate her help navigating this. big change in my life and look forward to our sessions. Even when I've had a rough day, a session with Wanda leaves me feeling like the weight I was carrying is much lighter. She gives you great tools to use in daily life as well. I HIGHLY recommend Wanda if you're looking for a therapist you can relate to and trust.
