Wendy is a wonderful therapist. She is kind, honest and professional. She listens to me and actively works with me to achieve my mental health goals. I feel comfortable talking with her about very difficult experiences, and I value the advice and encouragement she provides.

I’ve only been working with Wendy for a short amount of time but whenever we talk I feel heard and validated. She gives me tips to help me through my issues and follows through with them the next time we talk.

Wendy has been patient, kind, and understanding yet also works to bring me back to where I need to be when I get off topic too far or ramble too long about something surface level. I am confident that with her help I will continue to be stronger and healthier.

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.
