Wendy has helped me a lot with my mental health issues for quite sometime. My issues went undiagnosed as a child and its been difficult finding my way. She has been a big support and her recommendations have created a lot of changes in my life.

Wendy is caring and compassionate. She asks deep meanful questions that help me think outside the box and my emotions in the moment. Highly recommend.

Wendy is a kind but direct person. She hears and feels the things I say and write. I was very lucky to find the right therapist on my first try. I’m even gonna wake up early to keep her as my therapist when I switch jobs.
