Warm, engaging, and present. Wendi is a blessing to anyone who chooses to 'do the work' through therapy.

It's very understanding and knowledgeable, always willing to dig deep.. but in a respectful and non-prying way, her insight has been instrumental in helping me navigate all my issues and trauma.. if it wasn't for better help, Wendi, as well as my friends and family.. I'd probably be in a really bad place still.

Cannot recommend her enough.
