Wendy is an amazing therapist! I always feel heard when I’m speaking and she always finds a way to reason with my thoughts. She asks me questions to help me open up and dive deeper into what I’m feeling and helps me find solutions when I want them.

Wendy has been wonderful. While going through a few bumps in life, she has let me go at my own pace helping me sort through not only currently issues, but also connecting how past events have effected me. She has been a great resource and soundboard, whether helping me just see where I stand in my muddled thoughts or giving me tangible goals and ideas to aid in my healing and processing. I have enjoyed working on myself with the help of Wendy. It has been an enjoyable experience.
